Kaylee Update (Includes photos)

Hi All

I know I don't normally update during the week... but I have something to actually post today, as well as the promised photos.

But first to the updates
I've been a busy bee tonight and now my bodice for my dress is 70ish% done.
I'm happy enough with it to post photos... well a photo.

 Bodice... is 70% done...ish.. still need to add details... sleeves... the first layer of ruffles, and additional tailoring will be done later

 My Dr Who scarf... it's long enough to go around three people.

My weird loki inspired head band thing...

Also i'm reconsidering commissioning a loki cosplay costume and thinking about doing it myself... if anyone can forward me to any good tutorials, that will be a big help.

And Tomorrow is cosplay thursday... I'm going to do a partial Coraline cosplay wearing what elements of the costume I have. I'll post photos if I remember.

Happy Cosplaying

I'll post again as soon as I can

Kaylee and Coraline update, plus possible new costume and dr who scarf..

Hi everyone

It's been a couple months since my last update.
But I have things actually worth mentioning this time around.
I now have a sewing machine, which means I actually started sewing my Kaylee dress today. (FINALLY!)  The back panel is kinda confusing me at the moment, because this in general is breaking new ground for me. I'll post photos when I've got the bodice to at least a 50% finished stage, right now it's at the 17%ish stage.

I also now have a raincoat for my Coraline cosplay.
Which means all i really need now is possibly a blue wig and yellow gumboots.

Also for those who know me from other sites.. yeah... might have noticed a mild obsession with the character of Loki from  Avengers and Thor. If you haven't seen either already. GO AND WATCH THEM. they are awesome. back on topic,
yeah.
I'm currently considering a genderswapped loki cosplay costume as well.. either that or a dress inspired by loki's costume... possibly both.
I'll get back you all on that one, I still have Princess Luna from MLP to finish as well as my River Tam dress. but they are further down the list of things to get done.

Also I've knitted a seemingly freakishly long dr who scarf.
Pics will come when i next do a photo post. I got the pattern off here.
It was a fun activity and was something i've always wanted to make.

Happy Cosplaying
I promise photos ASAP

Princess Luna (update) Wing Patterns and Horn Prototyping part 1

Hi everypony
(This post is Pony related, so it seems fair that i use the language associated with the fandom i'm doing this costume for)

I've spent a large portion of today drawing pegasus pony wing patterns. Open and closed.
Ranging from patterns for wings for the younger characters, (e.g. Scootaloo), older ponies (e.g. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy), I even did seperate patterns for the princesses, Luna and Celestia. Because no doubt, somepony who wants to do a pony cosplay will find them useful.
Photos will be up as soon as i find my camera.

This post also covers unicorn horns.
I made a small one today out of Du-kit, a modelling clay i referenced in an earlier post.
Making it was relatively straight forward.
I took about a third of the clay, then divided that in two.
made two shapes that resembled spikes.
Then twisted the two together. and your basically done.
But it seems a little heavy and a little small, especially at the length it needs to be for Luna, so i might try another way or find a way to make it lighter. this method would be fine for any unicorn character besides the princesses.


also considering doing costumes for: Lyra/Heartstrings, Twilight Sparkle and Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo
But i want to get some of my other cosplay costumes out of the way first, and i also want to attempt some Dr Horrible goggles, because those are just awesome.

That's it for this update
