So here are my picture.s Sorry for the bad lighting. I am in a basement and my light doesn't work well.
Here is my baby!
Today we sanded it more, painted on the first few layers of gesso and sanded it some more. Right now it's very smooth. I just painted a layer of Mod Podge then will add another layer of Gesso in a bit.
It is so light! I love it. Tomorrow my dad is going to get it all set up so it can finally be attached to the wooden rod. It will be detachable in the end so we can remove the blade if we are taking a break or moving quickly inside a hotel.
Rohto Lycee eye drops arrived! We got these from HoneyColor.com. I have not yet used them but they smell really good. As you can see the bottle is small. But if you think about it has about the same amount of a normal bottle of eye drops.
I can't wait to use them! I have to get more contact solution before opening the new contacts.
Our new contacts! Also from HoneyColor.com. They are so pretty! The colors are bold and bright. I really hope they work well on our eyes. I can't open them just yet.
Look at all our cute eye lenses cases! You get one for free for each contact pair ordered. I love these! The pink and purple fishies are not used yet, nor the blue pigies. I haven't opened Yuuko's contacts either. Which we ordered last time.
My favorite is the purple elephants at the bottom left.
The flats for Alice's outfit. They are lovely. I like how they look on me. They are a bit tight at my toes, mainly at my big toe area. But fit comfortably. The color is spot on as well.
The satin red gloves also for Alice's cosplay. These fit nicely. They are bit tight, but wearing them then taking them off is helping to stretch them out. They are very soft and smooth. I love how they feel against my skin.
They reach well above my elbow which is what I wanted. Thank goodness.
I finally got to cross something off my list!
Today I sewed the bottom panel onto the coat. It looks so nice! I also finished the lining. I did hem the coat as well but I didn't cut enough extra off one part near the side so I have undo a part of them hem tomorrow and re-do it. That wont take too long to fix. After I do that I can finally start on making the ruffles that will go all around the coat. Once those are sewn on I need to fix the collar and start with the trim. Then I am done with the coat and can work on the smaller details such as the pile of ruffles and bow for the coat, the waist ties on the back of the coat, button holes on the waistcoat and finish the details on the top hat.
I am so close to being done with everything that I am feeling really good about it. There is only 20 days left, I'm not counting today as it is almost over. That means two weeks. I feel comfortable. I like having things to do so I am kept busy which means I'm not becoming overly excited. Which always happens.
Any way, so that's it for now. I'm sorry for not doing large reviews like normal but I am very tried and did so much today that I don't feel like writing much more. I really want to work on the props a bit more tonight and get some writing done. So thanks for viewing!
