My hubby suggested that I try this because I like being crafty. This is something to do outside, because trying to do my needlework or crochet outside is almost impossible because of the heat and humidity here. I went to the library to see what I could find and I picked up a few books…

Cosplay attaching pieces
I have been trying to decide how to keep my armor in place without having to hold each piece on 🙂 Kamuicosplay.com has a beginner’s book on making costumes that helped me realize that I could actually do this! The Costume Making Guide has been so helpful, and I remembered seeing a way to attach…
Cosplay cloak
I’ve been thinking about putting all the pieces together. I think I need a bodysuit, and a cloak. Hubby thinks I just need a leotard. Wrong!! First of all, it is supposed to be armor so why would I want skin showing. Second, how am I going to get the parts to stay on my…
Cosplay Thighs
I have the thigh pieces and bracers cut out, just have to start smoothing edges and texturing. I was starting to freak out because Halloween is in October! This is the end of August, there is just September in between! Only a month to get it done! Total freak out!!! After a week or so…
Cosplay Upper Arms 2
Now I get to paint, this feels like it is really coming together. The first layer is just covering the whole area smoothly. After that dries, I use a sponge to fill in the tiny holes that were missed. Instead of smoothing the paint like I did on the first layer, I squished the paint…
Cosplay Upper Arms
I’m not sure what the appropriate name for these is, so bear with me. These have been cut out for a couple of weeks, but I haven’t done anything with them. I’ll blame my overbearing headache. Today I really got a lot done, I finished the pauldrons, and these. I’m very excited that I’m finally…
General August 27
Still have a stiff neck 🙁 It’s very painful when I get up and towards bedtime. Most of the day, it isn’t too bad 🙂 I fell asleep with the cat on my chest the other afternoon, when I got up I was really hurting. I cannot sleep on my back! I always have neck…
Cosplay shoulder Pauldrons
I’ve had them cut out and pieced together for about a month. I got lazy. I’m better and got lots done. Almost all of it was done today. I started by texturing them with my handheld sander. Then I painted them with one coat of black, covering it evenly. I painted the inside with one…
General Update
Still trucking along. working on cosplay stuff, working on cross-stitch, reading and working. Last time I mentioned my fall and the headaches I was having. When my head started throbbing and pounding on the left side every time I bent over, I finally decided that I needed to do something. My first thought was a…
Cosplay Helmet
It is done!!! Wow, it looks like I forgot to post quite a few steps I painted the inside, and like the way it looked, but forgot to take a picture 🙁 I spent quite a bit of time deciding whether it was done or not. Finally decided that it needed more of a textured…
