Show and Tell! April 2007

i fail...i neglected to show up and check in every once in awhile...however...i too have been crafting! I have HAND SEWN a set of Roxas fingerbands(like what the character wears in Kingcom Hearts 2)...the white one is made of 100% cotton cloth, and the black one is made of black broadcloth...and I HAND SEWED elastic in the middle of the bands to keep them on my fingers easier...lemme tell you something. Elastic is best sewn onto something via machine...it's possible to hand-sew it into place...but it's a bit of a fight to get it to work right...

sadly, I don't have any pictures of the fingerbands atm, because Dad left his digital camera at work, so I can't get pics yet...but as soon as I do, I'll post them!

DUDE! you sowed them! o.0 you rock out loud! blaugh
I was going to cosplay him... ut I really wanted to do both the cloak and and his normal out fit... so in the end I just did Xaldin.
but back when I was thinking about doing him, I thought I would knit the band, and then knit the ring thingys so they would match. 3nodding I never thought about sowing alastic on some thing that small.

I intend to cosplay as Roxas in about a year and a half or so...after I get back into shape and lose some weight...my biggest problem after that point will be binding my chest(I'm a girl, just FYI)...because I'm a bit "gifted"...it's possible for me to get completely flat...it just takes a lot of patience and ace bandages....>.>;;

I wanna try to find something I can use to make his wristband so badly right now...i don't have anything at home that'd work...and I doubt I'd be able to embroider the checker pattern onto broadcloth properly...

I know this sounds.... overly simplistic, but... couldn't you make a fairly decent bracelet out of duct tape? Technically, you'd only need 1 roll of white and a permanent marker to make it black. sweatdrop Or you could even use Fimo Clay! 3nodding (And with Fimo clay, you could even polish it to make it shiny and professional looking!)

a girl... go fig. stare

any how, you could just quilt a wristband, really it would be very easy. all you would need it to cut out a bunch of little squares of black and white, and quilt them all together.
it will be easy next to making his checkerd jacket.

as for that hole "chest" thing. ...lots of binding... I have a girl friend of mine who crosplays all the time so there's lets of "that" going on. I just try not to think about it myslef. sweatdrop

I wanna try to avoid duct tape...mainly due to the fact that i know a lot of people on this one site would give me so much heck about having a completely awesome costume, and duct tape accessories...as for Fimo Clay...i'd rather stay away from that...

@Lee: see, this is why I'm gonna take so long doing the costume...i don't think of stuff such as quilting! *jots down wider elastic onto her list of things to get when she makes an Omaha run next time*

I'll try to get pictures soon, I promise!

Seriously, it still amazes me at the drama that goes on with serious cosplayers and... ninja *ahem* certain websites. My friend is hardcore into the cosplay scene and I tell you... I have never seen drama like that in my life. I swear, if they could, they would scratch each others eyeballs out. sweatdrop Scary!

Well, at least with certain websites, I know that if my costume has flaws that are glaringly obvious to other people, the people on those websites will point them out, and give honest feedback, without sugar-coating...
