21st May 2011: Wiggy wig Well man that wig is heavy now. And longer than I am tall too.
Just got 6 buttons to sew on now and litch is finnished ^^
2nd May 2011: Glasses Maybe a little too perfectionist?
Spent about 3 hours: sawing through the top of my old glasses with a scissor blade; removing the lenses; cutting, sawing and burning the ends as short as possible; and finally gluing the lenses back in, just because otherwise I'd've been mightily annoyed at the tiny detail.
And I broke three of my nails in the process :C /not impressed
29th April 2011: Pole of DOOM AAAARRRRGGGHHH
Why do I paint things?
I sawed the pole in half, glued in an inner tube, tested sliding the two parts together and it worked fine. Take them apart, paint them, once it's dry try to slide them together again. Doesn't work. And not only that, snaps the inner tube, partially inside the second part.
Rage enused but I did manage to fix it with a lot of superglue (that is now also bonded to and burning my fingers) and ducttape. It also grew a few inches because of that.
25th April 2011: Poley pole pole pole~ Finally getting onto making her pole.
185cm long approx, and am gonna have to paint it around exam revision ><
Given up on trying to make it easier to carry, am just going to have a big awkward prop with me.
29th March 2011: Poles and Pandas Ooo shoulda updated this when I started... Anywho, cosplay itself is mostly finished, as are the shoes and wig (Bar a few leaves, and I have glasses anyway so that works pretty well) all I have left is the Panda for her hair (which is sitting on my lap waiting to be assembled) and her pole.
Ah the Pole. Am not quite sure how long, or what out of, it should be made; and how in gods name it'll be possible (if at all) to get on the tubes as well.
I'm about 5'8 in with her heels on, so any suggestions at length, fabrics (bearing in mind I'm poor) and ways to make it public transport friendly'd be much appreciated. She won't be complete untill it is...
