That is absolutely amazing, especially for a first try! The wig has me knocked dead ~ I'm too afraid to try them, myself! That is just... I have no words! Awesome costume!

Well, your costumes are awesome! I can't sew to save the life of me, so I am impressed. The only real skill a Shiva wig takes is eternal patience. You don't have to cut it or curl it or even color it if you're happy with the stock colors (which I was), you just have to be good with glue! I would totally love to be able to actually SEW a costume rather than glue and paint my way through one.

You wouldn't believe it, but the ice-boob was the hard part. I made a plaster mold of my chest! I don't recommend trying THAT without someone there to help (like I did)! Plaster of paris hurts when removed from delicate skin.

Came out awesome!!

I'm really suprised that you did that with stock colors, as well as glue! Just wow! If there is anything I can ever do to help you with sewing, like tips or whatnot, just let me know, I love (at least trying) to help others out!

I haven't gotten to do too much with molding yet, although I'm fearing taking a class on it, because we do have to do body molds... O___o;

Weeellll... The wig was stock colors from drlocks.net, silicon caulk, quilt batting, yarn, microfiber brown stuff, hairpins, and so much hairspray that I have my own personal hole in the ozone.

I'm still contemplating next year's costume. I have it narrowed down, but both go really far outside my comfort level. You'll probably see my whining or begging for help on some board or other!!!

THANKS!!! ^_^

Holy wow... That list makes it sound insane! I'm still too afraid to touch on wigs, maybe this summer or something

What do you have it narrowed down to, may I ask? I'm sure I can help, or direct you to people who can!

Well, I've been wanting to do a Nuriko (from Fushigi Yuugi) cosplay for a while now, and I have NEVER seen this on done:

But I also want to do this one, though I may wait.

I'm certain I can shape up in the time before the con in September, but that doesn't give me any time to *make* the costume. My boyfriend suggests that I should make the costume the size that I can acheive by then in a healthy manner, but that means a much more disciplined diet than I really want for myself!!! If I don't make the size I want, then I'll have to either *not* wear it (gasp) or do some alterations. I figure I can make Nuriko's robes in a manner that can be easily adjusted, but Fran's costume doesn't allow for as much adjustment!!!! ^_^
