I'm not so sure on the hush-hush: isn't cosplay all about sharing techniques? but that's just me. 8D

Quick wig advice needed:

Which out of these 2, in your opinion, would be best?

I think I prefer the colour of the second one, but not too sure about the flips. Picture of character is: http://www.halfofcnz.little-noise.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/conceptartpinkkimonogirl.jpg

^ IAWTC.

@jen; i think the second one, too. 8D

**Guest** Guest

The second one looks the best :3

e____e I have no idea if I can put passwords on the blog - I'm not sure Wordpress allows it. Just post progress reports here, like Jess said, and if you want a how-to update on the site PM it to me.

Edit: Also. Can we not have any cosplayer comparisons please? Feelin' a teensy bit uncomfortable, over here...

By **JVCA**. 14/11/09, 12:37 pm

Magna Carta = awesome, therefore Magna Carta cosplayer = awesome. End of story.

By Selphiroth. 14/11/09, 12:41 pm

I shall do the progress versus progress detail thing then!

Now now. First of all, the most important question in case if anyone corners me on the day. How do I pronounce my own name? Am I Azel as in Hazel without the H, or am I Azel as in, "You are a Capricorn and I am a Zel"?

By Pura. 14/11/09, 01:00 pm

Haha, the second one, Selphiroth xDD.

Thanks for the advice guys. Very Happy

Gone ahead and bought the second one. Magna Carta Group 2010 (Sunday) [closed] - Page 4 179767

Hooray wigs!

On progress: I think I may have just figured out a way to get my fake!lace to work! Very Happy

Ooooh! Do tell.

I need to find a way to make the lace side wing.. things. I'm pretty sure that type of lace is going to be a beautiful and wonderful person to find. I've looked at other cosplays and they didn't add that part of the shirt/jacket at all : /

Have decided to buy http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_detail-0db1-ddc7f0d6d2f9f6d6b4ee599542c37f1b.htm
for Celestin C:

@Syill: my plan for making the lace is to use embroidery cotton and stitch the design into tulle. I haven't tried it yet, so it may not actually work, but I'm hoping to do some tests today! I'll let you know how it goes!

Also - have a look on trademe at lace fabrics, they often have some surprising finds that are perfect for cosplay.

I have no idea about what wig I should get @_@ I guess I should start looking orz

By IcyRose. 15/11/09, 02:26 am

On the topic of wigs, which to you think is better for Crocell?

Scruffy?

@alena: Hurr. One of the last two. :3 The others are all too long and the wrong style.

@Lennon: I think probably the Leslie? But the scruffy could work too if you trim it a little. :3

By Pura. 15/11/09, 11:13 am

Lawl. I am itching to start drafting the pattern for my plushie OTL. But I left my ruler at a friend's house, and they are impossible to find in my house =__=;; And then I need to dig out my circle drawing thing xD. (... Compass or protractor? I forget ...).

... Hey, this sounds like a great way to procrastinate with study. I like it 8D.

I also want to start my hoop skirt, hat and shoes xDDD. OTL.

Edit: @Alena I like the Tidus one. The other one Alex listed looks scary to me xDD.

By Static. 15/11/09, 11:15 am

Alena: The second one that alex linked to is a really nice style, but it kinda looks a bit naff quality-wise...the other one (Tidus style) looks really nice, but not quite styled right. I don't think I'm helping. XD
