Well I spose even if it doesn't get here in time, you do have a back-up available (even if it's not the right colour). Very Happy

Exactly

Judging from how long my Yoite wig took, it should come in just over a week.

And my craft foam is on its way, so when that arrives I can do the things that hang from the pants.

o___o After 4PM now? D:

SORRY RANI. I THINK I MADE A FAIL PATTERN. BLAME IT ON THAT. I'm really not great at making patterns at all >__>;

... I am lacking so much motivation to do anything at the moment. I hate trying to sew in my house, and I am so damn tired all the time and lack energy to do anything OTL.

Mmmrrr. There's a few things I should get advice on >__> Like my skirt. Damn I hate it now. I hate everything. The bells are sugar honey iced tea, and I'm really doubting I'll be able to finish. Specially as I might not even be able to afford the last few things I need and still have enough time to make them. FFFF.

Also don't really like my wig - think I might have cut the fringe too short, and it's quite big on me >__>;; //plans to get people to help me with it in the morning of the comp. 8DD;;

... Actually, I like my Quadropus =w=;;

By **seraphik**. 16/03/10, 09:38 am

@rachel (nearly wrote maya lmfao); what things do you need to make that you can't afford?

By Pura. 16/03/10, 09:48 am

Need to buy purple fabric paint for sleeve decorations, need to buy stuff for her wings, need more paper magiclay (when Rani used it she used two packs on one bell - I have three bells Dx. If I use the same amount as Rani, that's another $50 on papermagiclay =__=) Uhmn. Not sure what else I need. Inspiration, lol. Oh, the rope and middle thing on the Quadropus.

Currently working on the one thing I do like - the quadropus. I forgot about needing to make a bow out of white cotton, so I threw all the scraps out at Rani's house OTL. Now I only have white drill left. It will do, but I would have prefered cotton D:

Rani: from wellington station, catch the j'ville train to Simla Crescent - txt me from there, I will either come escort you up the hill, or get mum to give you a lift. If you can come over tomorrow, I will have a mother and also car - thursday she works, so no car. Razz

NOOOOOO D:
Why is everyone tempted to give up? Please don't~ This group will be awesome in the end 8D

@pura; BTW. i finally found the fabric scissors, you didn't take them with you xD
but you did leave your small pair of scissors lying around here.

AND YOU DON'T FAIL AT MAKING PATTERNS D<

You should see how successful my jacket is so far! Haven't found the back piece, but I've already started on the yellow pieces, and I have the sleeves done. ^^
(although I'm worried about that one seam that looks off-center D;)

By Pura. 16/03/10, 10:06 am

LAWL. I still think the back piece found its way into the rubbish bag xD. AND DAMNIT. I KNEW I LEFT MY SCISSORS THERE OTL. //now lacks scissors for school Dx

Ooo, you have to show me the jacket when you're done C:

By Static. 16/03/10, 10:17 am

I HAVE A QUESTION. An important one.

How are we doing the registration? Who is taking on the mammoth task of registering all of us? If nobody else is already doing it, I will - but I want an individual word document from everyone with a .zip file of all images you're providing, named appropriately. If you love me, you'll embed the images in a pdf Very Happy

I'm emailing Michaela now about formatting the form slightly differently so we don't kill her. Razz

By Pura. 16/03/10, 10:26 am

This is my first time entering, so I don't even know how it works xP.

Uhmn, I can do a write up and image stuff though 8DD.

By **seraphik**. 16/03/10, 10:43 am

i don't mind doing it, but if you're keen, sylvie? it'll be a big job, lmfao. i did pm michaela about the group and she said it'd be okay, so it shouldn't prove any problems there.

@rachel; there HAS to be a better way... galvanized wire frame+craft foam?

By Pura. 16/03/10, 10:59 am

So far I have a bell frame made of chicken wire and then paper mache'd, and then the papermagiclay as a thin top layer and to also give the petal shapes at the bottom.

But two of the bells aren't even bell shaped, so I prolly have to re-make them, but I don't have the time and the chicken wire is at Rani's house, and mum won't drive me there, nor do I have any money to catch the train there.

I can get the frame done, I just can't think how to do the petal shapes.
OH. I also need to do the inside of the bells - some sort of circle pendalum thingymagigidek.

**Guest** Guest

Heyy, Rachel~
Guess what you're going to help me with tomorrow 8D;; ?
(BTNTRLY. I just need your opinion on it..)

Edit: I can just imagine these butt petals going terribly wrong.. Should I make the petals all one piece or make them all separately and overlay them?

By Static. 16/03/10, 12:18 pm

Lucy: I just asked if we could do the whole form except the "Describe the creation process of YOUR costumes and props, be as descriptive as you can especially detailing who made what and how and what from:" question on one page, and then have each person answer above question in a separate document, named and stuff. It would easy to print and flick through that way, but I'm waiting on an answer.

By KotoneVersus. 16/03/10, 12:55 pm

@Sylvie: I can do that! What time works for you?

By Static. 16/03/10, 12:57 pm

Around 3? So in town about 2.30, then the 2.30 or 3pm train out to mine.

By KotoneVersus. 16/03/10, 01:18 pm

Excellent. I'll text you.

By sakuramiyabi. 16/03/10, 02:56 pm

Okay, I will soon have my own sewing machine. Tonight I work on finishing my stats assignment.

Tomorrow. Uni in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, picking up stuff and laundry after that. Then sew, sew, sew the rest of tomorrow night away ... okay ...

I think it's time I start stocking up on things to keep me awake =w=;;

By **seraphik**. 16/03/10, 03:06 pm

i plan to live off of no-doz starting this sunday. maybe earlier. however, it makes me feel like my heart's going to explode (especially if you have like... 7 in the course of 4 hours)

By sakuramiyabi. 16/03/10, 03:11 pm

>| //slaps lucy's wrist no that is not a good sign ... though i understand the feeling but no >|

By Static. 16/03/10, 03:17 pm

Reply from Michaela re: slightly different format of rego - we're all good! If everyone could do this bit of the form individually and email it to me, that would be AWESOME.

"Describe the creation process of YOUR costumes and props, be as descriptive as you can especially detailing who made what and how and what from:"

Just put it through as a word document + zip of images, OR a pdf document with images embedded please. Name the file with YOUR NAME! Be as descriptive as you can (lol echoing actual form here) and email them to me at sylvie @ little-noise.com. Please have them to me NO LATER THAN March 28th - I will be in Chch and busy busy, and the cutoff date is the 31st - I want it in before then so if it bounces/has issues I can do it again.

Lucy - just fwded the reply to you as she mentioned the skit. Also, could we maybe put this in the first post and chase everyone who might not watch this thread too closely?

By **seraphik**. 17/03/10, 12:34 am

of course! /edits

i'll send a PM around as well.

By KotoneVersus. 17/03/10, 05:54 am

Aaaargh. Static I can't come today.

My sister didn't go to school and my grandparents are making me stay here to babysit.

I'll try and come tomorrow.

By Static. 17/03/10, 05:59 am

By KotoneVersus. 17/03/10, 06:13 am

Free tonight, any time. I'll be home all day.
