Holy crap. I am loving EVA foam. It's so easy to work with. Why didn't we do this sooner? After it was cut with the air saw we took it out back to carve it. I did sand it a bit but tomorrow we will be using the power sander to sand it better. That way the points will look sharp and clean.
Here is our baby! It's very think. We're still working on sanding the edges to make it appear more like a blade. This was right after we made the cuts into it. It is as light as a feather.
I love it! It's so big and light. It will be sanded tomorrow, then the gesso will be painted on, it will be sanded then painted and of course glossed afterwards. I'll update with pictures later on.
Edit: Forgot to write about the package that came today. I'm suddenly so tried it slipped my mind.
Today we got our contacts and eye drops, which help against drying and help produce more tears. I have an issue with my contacts drying too fast so this hopefully will help me a ton.
I also got my shoes for Alice. I'm trying to break them in. They hurt my toes a bit. I have a sprained toe which hurts like hell expect when I wear my platform heels which is weird because those are the shoes I was wearing when I hurt it. They are the perfect color red and match really well. I wanted to stay short so I decided not to get heels.
I just read a review about Oo Jia and hopefully my dress will be coming at the end of the week or early next week. From what I heard it rarely ever takes two-four full weeks to arrive. Thank goodness. There is only three weeks til con and I may go to my cousins' party next week so at least if it comes I'll have something to wear.
Packages yet to come:
~Abel's wig
~Pandora Hearts pocket watch
~Pantyhose
~Pants for Oz
We still need to buy three items but are waiting until next payday. The coat is almost done as well! I sewed in the lining today in the lower half. Tomorrow I have one panel to sew in for the lining and then can sew it all together and get my butt in gear to work on all the details.
So that's it for tonight. I'm too tired to focus right now. Animal Crossing New Leaf is calling to me. Night night!
