Went to the fabric store today!!
I got black fabric for Lina’s cape, and purple to line it with. Also got off-white fabric for the white bits of her costume.
Got a *perfect* pattern for Urd. It’s great. And black fabric, sort of suede like for the black pieces of her costume. And yellow ribbon for the yellow bits.
I looked at the fur prints there and didn’t see any I liked. They only had one obviously tiger print, and it was ugly. I’m going to go over to the other Hancock’s later this week.
We scouted fabric for Ash’s costume – found a nice yellow for the sash and some whites for the white bits, and fabric dye. Tomorrow we are going to the Salvation Army to look for a blue skirt and shoes. I’m also looking for shoes, and I need a few more belts. Brown this time, for Lina.
Let’s see… for Urd I need…
* Wig – on order. Hopefully.
* Double sided tape. Obviously.
* Pink fabric for the stuff hanging off the back.
* Black shoes to build the boots off of.
And lina…
* Wig. Haven’t really even looked ;
* Red pants. Am bidding on some on ebay, but they’ll probably be too big. Must keep looking.
* Gloves and dye for the gloves.
* Jewel stuff. Need to look in COSP archives for tips on making fake jewels look nice.
* Armor stuff ; Am planning to go the paper mache route. This will be… interesting. Seeing as how the one and only time I’ve used paper mache was to make a donkey pinata for Spanish class seven years ago. And it ended up looking like an anteater. Damn that thing was ugly.
