I made keychains! This has been genuine months in the making because I made the big beads myself. They're made of wooden beads that I wrapped with epoxy sculpt clay to make them bigger. I painted them with acrylic paint and covered them with a clear coat so they (hopefully) survive the weather. I recently got the smaller beads so today I was able to put them together. They're gonna go on my two bags and we'll see how long they survive ^^
This is my first time doing alt text, I hope it isn't terrible. Please feel free to correct me if it isn't the way it should be!
Here we go again! It's been a while since I made that first post and admittedly I haven't made a lot of progress since then but I did a few first steps.
Over the last two days I've transferred the pattern of a cloak I got given to sturdier paper so I can use them more easily later. This is what that looked like.
I have also bought fabric for this cloak recently and I started making a checklist on cosplanner to keep track of the money and the time I'm spending on this project. I will buy more fabric as well as dye soon. Once those arrive I'll make an update again and show off the fabrics I'll be using for the base cloak.
Until then thank you for reading, I hope you have a good rest of your day! Hopefully this next update won't take as long as this one did lol
Right so basically I'm planning a technoblade cosplay to pay tribute to him. There'll definitely be a few parts, this one is the first one and I'll show what I've done so far (it's not much lol, so far it's all theoretical).
Right, going back to the 14th of October last year we have my first concept sketch for the cosplay. This is what it looks like:
I will admit, it isn't very detailed and I'm not too happy with it... Which is why I made a second one. That one was started on the 11th of December last year and I've been adding to it ever since. Here it is:
The picture of it here is outdated now, there's a bunch of other related stuff on that page since I've been adding to it. As of today, the notes for this cosplay take up three pages in my sketchbook and I have reserved a fourth to have more space if need be.
There's a bunch of details I have planned, but I'll talk more about those in the future! That is all for now, but now that the first part has been written I'm somewhat sure that there'll be more. They probably won't be as long as this one, but I won't promise anything as I like writing long posts.
(side note, I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to post every single one of these posts in the technoblade cosplay hashtag? I don't wanna end up basically clogging that hashtag with my silly little process posts.)
Thank you for reading and I hope you'll have a good rest of your day! ^^
A few months (maybe even a year or longer) ago I found a picture of @my-darling-boy 's posts regarding peaches the mouse and his pattern on pinterest. I saved it and forgot about it... Then I came across it again months later, but that time I decided to investigate and actually find the pattern on Tumblr. That wasn't that difficult so I printed the pattern, collected my fabrics and started sewing about two weeks ago. I did make some adjustments to the pattern (more on that later) but a few days later I had created a little creature. May I present to you:
Jules! I love him way too much and have been carrying them around with me ever since I made him. They provided a great distraction while I was making him, which I am very grateful for! I will continue to carry them around and he'll be my good luck charm from now on.
Now to the adjustments I mentioned. I, confident as I am, decided to 1) don't really read the instructions unless necessary and 2) overcomplicate things. Instead of stuffing the little guy with this woollike stuff only i decided to make a little bean bag to put inside of them to make sure he's a little bottom heavy. I did that by cutting out four bottom pieces instead of one, sewing them together in pairs and leaving one of those separate and open in the back. I filled one of those pouches with grain from a different pillow thingy and sewed the other one on as the instructions said. Once I finished sewing together the remaining pieces of Jules and was supposed to do the stuffing I inserted my beanbag into his body and put in wolly stuffing afterwards.
Another adjustment I made (which was way simpler btw) is the fact that their tail is a tube that's filled with a pipe cleaner, which makes it posable.
I also want to give him the ability to sit on my shoulder properly which I'm gonna accomplish by adding small magnets into their belly so that I don't need to use safety pins. I'll have to order those first as that adjustment was an afterthought, but I'll certainly do it and I might update this post then!
To everyone who read all of that, I hope you'll have a good day and I encourage you to make a little mouse for yourself, it's not that complicated and makes for a very good distraction! And thanks again to @my-darling-boy for providing the pattern and everything, it was very fun to do! 10/10, would do this again.
