The gold part shown is the "metal" plate that will be attached onto the collar of my dress. The pearl strand (which I attached a little bit ago) will be connected to the smaller cross. I've also decorated and painted that and the white middle piece on the pearl strand. Both are drying right now and may not be worked on tomorrow as the clay is getting too soft. I might just go ahead and pour resin over them but it depends on how much I still have left. The larger cross is coated in resin so it's very stable.
I've finished most of the extra (back-up) armor plates today as well. I decided to make these because my fiance isn't...well....uh...the carefullest. So between him and brats (shall I remind you all of my horror story where some kid kept taking Break's cane, a prop I worked my ass off to get it looking nice, broke it in two and didn't even bother saying sorry?) Yeah....extras are good.
Any who, the only main thing we need besides Abel's chain is the turtleneck for Abel. Hopefully we can find one. We'll have two days to search for one so hopefully my fiance's mom can help with that. This year is going to be very different and exciting. We are entered in the costume contest, this will be the first time we'll be wearing costumes I made, and we'll have a different friend with us.
I do have my worries too. If that chain doesn't come on time I wont be able to add on many details to Abel's rosary which will suck because we're in the contest. (My fiance just called and told me the lady just shipped it last night).
The next few days we'll focus on tying lose ends, finishing props, packing, buying food for the trip, and writing up check lists. One Thursday my fiance will come over about eight/nine and we'll pack everything up. Then drive over to our friend's parent's house and pick her up, help her pack and will be on our way. The drive takes about three-four hours on a good day but if there is traffic or construction like last time it could take up to six hours to drive up to Seattle.
Check in isn't until three. But I really want to go to the bay (in the years we've gone we never have gone down there) and get some salt and pepper shakers for my dad. At five that day we have a private photo shoot for our Trinity Blood costumes. I'm super excited for that. The photographer has picked a great spot for the shoot. Hopefully we get some amazing pictures. We better...I'm paying for it after all.
Before that of course we'll go pick up our badges!
Day one we'll be in our Pandora Hearts costumes and have two shoots, as well as the judging for the cosplay contest that day.
Day two is when the cosplay contest takes place. We'll be in our Trinity Blood costumes that day.
Everything else is not yet planned. But whatever comes will be fun and exciting. I'm starting on making a check list today I may post that later. To show you how I make it and what I'll be bringing.
