Wow.

After all day of trying to figure out the *how* I just decided to go ahead and jump headfirst into this costume..

I'm really impressed with how it turned out! it is far from perfect, but it looks pretty decent!! I cant wait for Daniel to finish work tonight so he can try it on & i can get some pictures of him in costume! :]~

On a side note, I realized that my head is tremendously huge.. I knew that my head was shaped weird .. (it has a weird.. hump (?) in it.. but i honestly had no idea that it was gigantic. so.. i apologize to everyone that has ever had to sit behind me..

Anyway, i tried to try the mask on myself... when i realized it wouldn't go over my weird humped head.. :/ i fixed it so that it would fit over my head.. hopefully it will fit over daniel's head too! :// If not.. i left some seams open so that i could make adjustments.. plus the base snaps on with velcro.. i decided a zipper would be too binding. I'll post my sketch also, so the vision can really come to life. This has been my most challenging piece so far.. i had literally no idea where to start.. & no pattern.. I found pictures of cosplay, but they looked too... cartoony? and some not quite finished enough? Anyway, no pattern, no plan, just a cartoon & I think i was able to achieve it!

The fact that probably nobody will have any idea who he is... well.. i guess that's just the price you pay. Did I mention the costume only cost around 2 bucks? I bought a grey fabric remnant (Appx: .818 of a yd) & still have some leftover fabric! That being said, i picked the most retarded fabric imaginable. its... sort of spandex-y & kept getting caught in the machine. That being said, at least its breathable. :]~

Other than the costumes, nothing else is going on. ;]~ My debit card was declined the other day.. i FREAKED OUT.... I thought.. *NO WAY.* but fortunately, it was just because my card was expired & Wachovia neglected to send me a new card.. so now i have to go straighten that mess out.

I did find some rad sheets.. one with Klibban on it and the other is Pokemon ^_^;; I was stoked. Klibban is my moms absolute FAVORITE cat. if you dont know who he is.. heres a pic:



 
Adorable right? These are sheets that have him with a little superhero cape on flying around. its totally cute. now i just have to figure out what i'm going to do with it!!! xD I'm thinking i'll use some of it as a lining for a bag.. the rest of it?? I have no idea. I'm obsessed with it though. it's the cutest ever. xD PLUS The pokemon fabric.. I have no idea what to do with these printed fabrics. Linings of some sort.

I also forgot to mention that I made a pokeball purse to match my pikachu costume. ^_^ I will *hopefully* get better pictures later. My camera sucks with the self timer. Pictures come out all blurry. no fun. boohiss.

See? Every time I try and change the subject, I go right back into crafting.. its a curse i guess.. but not much else to report on! >.<

XOXO
