Prop night

Been busy working on cosplay and props all day. Today I've finished putting in elastic on the sleeves of Alice's dress. The bottom part is still too big even with elastic so I need to cut them open so I can pull the elastic tighter. I also put in the very first row of ruffles on the dress! It took me a few times to figure out how to do it but once I did I'm really pleased with how it looks. And I think it will be even better once it is all over the bottom hem as well. I just need to fix the bottom of the sleeves, dye the lace, sew on the lace and hem the bottom which of course will take a full day to do.

Tomorrow we're going out to see World War Z and go out with some friends so I wont be working on it. Besides that my fiance traced out the third piece of the scythe and once that's cut we can shave down the edges and start getting it all together.

While I just finished re-painting the wooden rod I was thinking about re-making the armor pieces for Abel and Caterina. Just to spice up their outfits for the contest we entered at the end of August.  The armor pieces (Pictured below) were sort of rushed and were so annoying during the con.

So instead of just having plain golden strips I'm going to base them off the original artbook/novel picture )(below.) Caterina's armor pieces are a different shape than Abel's with a red cross on them as well as two bots on each side. Abel's, however are plain strips with lots of bots and layering. I'm going to play around with some ideas tonight since I have a HUGE amount of craft form begging to be used.
