I’ve been going to 9Round, but the new rules for Covid say that you have to wear the mask even while exercising in the gyms. That sucks, it is hard enough to breathe without the mask that I am going to be sweating through. My gym reopened, just in time for this new rule. I…

Something Wicked
This is the project that I have been working on at work during Covid. It took me 4 months, and now I need to make it into a wall hanging. It came with a companion project that I started. it shouldn’t take me as long as the first since it is smaller
Gorget 1
I cut the pieces out, but I’m not happy with it. I am thinking of modifying it. A gorget is the part of the armor that protects the neck and part of the chest. I am thinking of making a foam piece that covers the neck and making chain armor that covers the chest. I…

Cut the shoulder pieces out and put them together. I need to shape them, then start filling in the gaps before I can paint.
Cosplay Helmet 3
Started painting the helmet, I’m excited. I used a sponge to put on some black acrylic paint. This is after the first layer of paint. Looks kind of crappy, so I put on a second layer. Looks much better, just need to paint the inside. Then on to the gray to make it look more…
Cosplay Helmet 2
Ran out of PlastiDip, tried to order more in bulk, but they want more than twice per can than I pay per can. I’m buying multiples of the single instead. Weirdness abounds. My helmet is looking better, I think I’m going to paint soon. Hubby wants me to decide which character I am doing, but…
General update July 5

We are both looking at alternative income streams just in case the store closes, but we have a month or 2 before that could happen (PPP loan). We have…
Cosplay Helmet
Sanded the edges of my helmet today and put it together. Mixed up my 2 A pieces and glued them wrong. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. See why I’m not happy with the way this worked? Had to cut those 2 pieces out of the helmet. Contact cement is no joke,…
Exercise
Missed my kickboxing yesterday, I had to work 🙁 Ended up taking the day off from exercise because my back has been killing me lately. I’m feeling somewhat better, but it still aches. Hopefully it will keep getting stronger and quit hurting! Been doing my Beachbody 21 Day Fix. Finished the first week, and started…
Cosplay 2
Waiting for my wood/foam burning tool. Says it’s out for delivery. Cut out the pieces for my helmet today. Need to work on my blade sharpening skills, the knife isn’t cutting as easily as it should. Got my burning tool tonight! I’ll play with it tomorrow.
