Some cosplay work! Mostly crafts!

Today was a day that I got to work on some crafts, and actually got a bit done. After realizing that I needed yellow foam for headsets, I got to work on other things with my friend. We made potions! One for mana (blue), health (red), and sanity (green). Sanity came from Tome of Eternal Darkness. No potions there but it was fun to make anyways. There was a big sale at a store, so we got a few things we needed and some additional crafts so we could just do some fun things. Up close pics of finished jars to come later.

I even manged to start sewing together one of the gimpi imp dolls I'd planned to work on from a while back, as you can see here, I didn't get far, but it felt good to finally make progress. And considering that I made some of these things or was going to make some of these things for others, getting started on it finally felt good, and has the added bonus of being presents for friends and cleaning out my area of projects I just haven't finished yet, if only so that I can then get more projects to work on in the future for myself and for friends. I'm brilliant that way.

I did do a little bit of cosplay work though, was going to work more on the magnet headphones until I realized i was missing something *see above first paragraph*. So instead I started work on my friend's cosplay outfit. I only got to doing the belt because I cannot find my tape measure. Blargh. But I did the belt, having to open up a new fabric pen and all. One down, one being used, and actually now have two more on deck. Len and Rin take a looooot of orange fabric pen. Haha.

I think when it comes to my friend's costume that I'm making for her, I gotta be careful how I do it. Because I've never gone off of a size chart before, and she's not around (lives faaaar away) so I have to really be careful about my measurements. I also need to double check on her pants/shorts size, because I don't know if its an adult 7 or junior 7. So far I have the wig, tie (which I might change? because its not as yellow as I'd like), and now the belt. EASY PARTS. I would've started on the sleeves but that was when I realized my tape measure wasn't around. So blargh. Didn't want to start unless I had some idea what I was doing. (And if my arm around matched hers at all, would just be a little easier to do). But even so, getting one part done is getting one part done. More than what I had before, which was no parts done at all.

And here are the finished potion bottles! Pseudo, since sanity doesn't exist in potion form. If it did it'd be ... well, maybe not so popular. Haha. I had fun cutting the tags up with some scrap booking scissors my mom had to make them look a little more authentic and because they had started out huge. Tied with a cream colored ribbon. Pretty no? Anyways, that's all there was for today. I should hopefully be update Saturday.

Yay potions!
