I took another unintended break due to being out of town most of May and being busy in June ^^;; Time to do some catching up!
In April, I went to Anime Matsuri in my Knives Chau costume, and I also brought my DSLR. My Cosplay.com gallery has con photos, and my Flickr gallery has photoshoot photos.
In a couple weeks, I plan on going to San Japan to take more cosplay photos. I haven’t decided if I’ll go as Knives or just go without a costume this time.
At the end of August, I plan on going to AnimeFest where we’ll hopefully debut our Spirited Away costumes. I’m starting on Chihiro’s costume for Jess, and I recently bought poplin for it:
This means I’m taking a break from our Bastion costumes for now. I actually hit a set-back when working on Zulf’s costume. I forgot that blazers don’t allow a lot of movement in the armpit area. When James wears it, he isn’t able to lift his arms up that much. Now I have to take it apart there and alter it.
I did finish the stripes for his jacket though. I just haven’t lined them or sewed them on yet. The light blue parts are custom-dyed with Rit dye.
I hope to have progress photos for Chihiro’s costume soon!
