New cosplay on the List

Hello everyone! I've decided to torment myself even more by adding one more cosplay to the 2012 Otakon Line up :) I'll be hopefully going into overdrive for my cosplay of Valentine from the Video Game skull girls! I picked her because she has a lot of basic components but isnt the simplest of the SkullGirls so she will be sightly more reconcilable. I'm hoping to get a group going for this one, fingers crossed!

Finished Jirachi Hat

Hello everyone! I finished the Jirachi hat and thought i'd give you all a little peek at it :)

Jirachi Hat

Hello everyone! So sorry for the long delay on this update, I've been working on school work for a while. ANYWAY onto the main event!

I've been working on how to go about mastering the look of Jirachi's head in this hat and found that what i've been doing has been working pretty well. I took a beanie (courtesy of my friend, David) and i put it on a foam wig head. I took duct tape and 3 foam cones and taped them in the necessary places as well as the back of the beanie so it would keep it's shape, but i left about a half inch up so i'd be able to sew into the beanie without having to fight with the duct tape.

Here is a shot of this process. Im still working on the hat as we speak, right now, im sewing on the shiny gold/yellow fabric to the parts of the beanie that are still showing. I'll only be sewing on the two side 'horns' in a attempt to hide the seams and to avoid some of the edges. (cus i like to look for short cuts when i can :3)

But that sums up this little update for noooooooow :) cya back here later!
