SO I went to the matsuri festival this weekend, and it was really fun. I had loads of fun seeing everyone I spent saturday wearing my brand new Fuu kimono (which is so much better) and entered the cosplay contest with Aya as Jin and :icontoshimustgrind: as Mugen. We won first place, which is awsome, and my little sister took second in her first self-made cosplay :) We also got to do a cool photoshoot with :icongreyfinch: and :iconpornograph: Overall the weekend was really great, although it made me wish for more money. I found a few kimono I wanted, but I am soooo broke, and I still need money for Fanime.

Onward to cosplay stuff. There is going to be a cosplay contest at the Japanese Friendship Garden on March 6th, which I'll be at. After that I don't have any schedualed events until Fanime. OMG we're going to Fanime, I are excited!!!! I'm hoping to finally have FFX Rikku done, and mabey do the masq, as well as Faye from Cowboy Bebop, San from Princess Mononoke, mabey Bulma from Dragonball, and perhaps a revamped Kairi. If anyone is gonna be at Fanime, I wanna know so we can hang out.

In normal art news, i have soooooooooo much traditional art and sculpture stuff I have to put up still, I'm just seriously behind. Hopefully I'll catch up soon.

Thanks for fav! We appreciate it!
Hi.
I was wondering if you could tell me how to go about altering boots for a costume?
I'm helping out a friend who is going for the look of Harley Quinn in Arkham Asylum.

[link] here is a great tutorial on bootcovers, the site also has great tutorials for stretch bootcovers. I'd suggest getting ahold of a vinyl or pleather fabric, a stretchy one if you can get it to not be to shiny. The use that tutorial for the basic shapes. then i'd draft the extra shapes outtof a fabric of a similar weight to your final fabric, then sew it all together and put it on the shoe. Because that boot has a large sole, i'd just glue to cover on around where the boot meets the sole, if that makes sense. If you can find a cloth shoe with the right type of sole on it, you could sew the bootcovers on instead of glue. If you need any more help feel free to send me a note :)
Wow, thank you so much. I will message you back if I get stuck ^_^. How is your summer going?
