I haven’t done much, I’ve been having trouble with headaches and that makes it hard to concentrate, understand things, or even think straight. I am feeling better, and am having some ideas.
A hurricane is headed this way, so I wanted to make sure I had some things to do even without power. I picked up some jump rings to work on my chain neck covering. I’m not going to do the chain I had chosen, because I started to think about the weight. That pattern takes some extra rings to look that way, and that is going to add more weight. I’m going for lighter weight, so I will use a simpler pattern.
I’ve been checking out some videos on how to texture the foam to make it look like a blacksmith actually did it, so I’m going to play with that some more. I also went out to find sport balls that I can use for shaping the rounded parts of the armor. I thought that I needed balls in the correct sizes, but while I was watching Kamui Cosplay YouTube videos I realized that I didn’t need to do it that way, I could just use what I have and press it out to what I need. Sounds kind of confusing, but it works in my head. If it works in real life, I’ll try to explain better.
I have a few more things to play with for now that I am feeling better 🙂
