What a busy and crazy week!

Most definitely this is the beginning of the busy convention season. This week and last have been very busy.

Three costumes were finished and sent off/or handed over in the case of B.B. Hood :3 It's been a great experiencing making all of these costumes~!

And soon to come.... Nemu and Chibiamerica!


Have a great week everyone!

T_________T

First off.... a  personal rant about random floods of junk mail making their way into my email ;A;
Way too much spam, ebay. Way too much. >< I always get scared when going through them, afraid I'll miss something that actually matters (Like an ebay account update or such? Either way, spam is so troublesome).


On the bright side of things! 


I have a fitting this coming week with B.B. Hood ~ And a soon to come shipment for the Full Moon Group!


Not long after that comes the Nemu costume to be shipped off!


It's a busy con season so far, but it's very welcomed. I love to see what is popular, and what costumes people are really interested in. 


Also, I Will be online and available all day today and tomorrow! Feel free to message me! I will respond quickly. If it takes me more than 10 minutes to respond, it will only be because I have got to make a fabric store run for some materials ~! After which I will return immediately! :0) 


Let's see how it goes :3 ! I hope you all have an awesome day!

Tornadoes in NC

 At first, the news taught us that it was 60 tornadoes. Currently calculations bring it to be only 24 in NC, I wonder if the others were ones that did not touch down or ones created by the storm as a whole. In any case, this is the storm that hit NC last weekend. I wanted to make a short post about it, linking a little information for those of you were may be curious.

Here: WRAL 

 Although my family did get quite a bit of property damage (power at my fathers didn't return for several days), everyone is safe thanks to God and the apt warnings from our local weather service. It was frightening none-the-less >< !

Show Opening so Slight Delay in Email Schedule

Actually, it means a return to my normal emailing schedule. This week a new show opens (tomorrow night, to be exact) so my response to emails will return normally on *Friday Morning*.  Please be patient as the show opens and I return to my normal mail check schedule.


Some Quick Updates While I have the opportunity:

Piko: I will be sending the payment information on Friday Morning (If not sooner. As well as the payment via Paypal by the evening *after* hearing back from you. The short wait I was talking about was the few days it took between Monday and now ^^  )

Mitsuki: The wig order was placed ~! Success!

Bleach: The obi will be made stiff as you requested. <3! As well as the use of the discussed fabrics :) Thank you!



Thank you everyone~!

Some Quick Updates While I have the opportunity:

Piko finished and Headphone shots

So I just got back from class, and I'm about to head off to ship Piko ~!

I say this with every costume, but it's true, I learn so much every time I make something new and different. The most vital portion of knowledge I got from the Piko costume was about costume lighting... as in, how to make things light up. There were many options but, ultimately, it came down to what materials were the lightest to use for what the customer needed. Long story short, I learned the magic of button batteries (very small batteries, as you may guess) and the importance of watts, amps and voltage (oh geeze, sounds like my stage lighting class, but seriously... it kinda was) -  The photos below show the results of button batteries and super small LED's --

Note: Model is not me. My hair is not quite as amazing as my roomates.

A dropped phone.. a little water... equals...

= Disaster.

Thank you to everyone who has been patient today and yesterday after I stupidly allowed my phone to drop into  a tub of water. As many of you know, I receive all of my automatic email updates/email alerts via my phone. I believe I still got back to everyone in a timely fashion, but wanted to make a post about it anyway.

To help explain my reaction when I realized what I had done:

＼(>o<)／ギャーッ！

Thank to everyone for your understanding as I "soak" my phone in rice for a few days.....!! 

USB Cable!! :3

So I set out to make a gigantic USB cable for Piko.... and look at what has come to be!

Here are the starting supplies. The headphone are the base for Piko's headphones. 

Not pictured is the foam core. The USB box is *not* hollow. I did not want it to be easily squished, so it has a dense core for added durability.

The actual cable wire is attached at the back. Here I have it wrapped and tied in a loop so it will not twist.

This picture turned out so blurry! ): But here is the whole USB Cable. There are some things still to be done to it, but over-all I do hope it has turned out well.

I made it large enough to be obvious, but easily held for photos. 

As always, more updates to come!

End of Show Run!

So it's 1:36 am eastern time, and I've just gotten home from the last night of the musical "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" - It was a great show, on which I served (Alongside my dear friend Victor), as wardrobe crew chief (Tonight we struck everything - a.k.a = washed everything, cleaned everything, and put it all away). I have to say, I'm really going to miss this show! It was so much fun to work on! ;__________; !! Now we'll start costumes for The Merry Wives of Windsor! 

I will be using tomorrow to catch up on a few things, and to get new updates and emails sent out to everyone ~! The Piko costume deadline is soon approaching! And I look forward to working and giving this costume my all! 

Just for fun, Here are some shots from the last show I designed for. It was a tap piece entitled "Hoofbeats" choreographed by Clarine Powel. 

Thank you~! 

Fabric!!! :D

For Mitsuki ^^

Here is a lovely fabric I found! It is similar to the original artwork, the best I could find thus far - but it is all up to the cosplayer :) If this would be too different, I will happily hunt down another option!

This next photo has some of the other materials in it ^^ The string and buttons for the sleeve. Zipper is not pictured because it wasn't in stock yet :)

The smaller buttons are for the closure of the top under where the zipper is. And there is that sneaky little yellow receipt tag on the far right! 

Quick Update!

  Just wanted to rush and give a quick apology for my any recent late responses ): I've fallen pretty ill, but will be back up to speed starting today...!!!!!

Thank you all!!

x3 Some Awaited Updates!

Hello everyone!

I'll hop right into the latest updates! :3

For The Vocaloid Costume..... The shoes came it! Shipping was very quick, and the boots are in great condition, so I will be leaving positive feedback for the seller. Here are the shots, just taken this morning.

They are very sturdy, and I am excited about creating the covers for these! 

More updates on everything soon, as we just had opening night for a new show today! (My second dance piece! It was so exciting! I will be uploading photos from the show soon, once the photographer sends them back to the University :3 ) Tomorrow will be busy though, as I'll be focusing on finishing Mitsuki this week (I know the due date is still distant, but I hope it get it sent to you very soon). 

Thank you! 

Just wanted to give a little update!

All aboard!! Let's get these ship's ah-sail'n! 

   This week I am working on the Piko costume and the Full Moon Costume ^^ I'm so happy to be working on such cute characters! I think I'll be iced in tonight (bad weather, university closed down early today ): we freak out around here) - so photos of materials will come tomorrow once I return from the costume shop and the fabric store. Both sets of materials will be photographed tomorrow, although I may have to wait for a few items to be in stock (Such as plaid for Mitsuki's skirt! If it is missing from the photograph, it is only because I am particularly interesting in patching the plaid as best I can). 

   If for some reason the ice hits us hard, and everything is shut down - I may have to delay photos for a day or two. ): However, I do not suspect it'll be as bad as people are saying...!

Mitsuki: I will post a photograph of your arm band tomorrow evening :) Along with the other materials.

Piko: I'm currently deciding which set of LED's to order, but I've located a near perfect color! Since tomorrow, Tuesday - Jan 11, is my regular Email and update day I will update you on this as well. Here is a photo from the website: 

The "Bluegreen" seems to be a great fit! What do you think? :) The website I will be ordering from is: WorldAglow.com! Your shoes, of course, will be battery powered. <3 

PS: You guys can comment on the posts if you'd like! Ask questions or talk about anything! 

   Many thanks to you both!
