Ah, costuming.
Okay. I've started up again. So far this past week, I've gone and gotten a pattern to modify for my Lulu costume, as well as sketched out in my head (not to mention endless debates with a certain friend on fabric choice) how everything's going to come together, and bought more than ten yards of fabric. If anybody knows where I can get that pesky trim on Lulu's dress, I NEED it. I'll be able to make just about everything else, but that stuff's gonna suck to make.

Where my ANBU costume is concerned, I'm having absolute fits with it. The arm-guards...enough to make me go mad. I'm [-----------] <--that close to going out and getting sheet metal, tin-snips, and other metalworking tools. For God's sake, I am going insane here. I don't want them to look like crap! The vest is the only other part I have left. Other than that, it's all in the details. I've got weapons--kunai and kali-- as well as things to put them in, the pants, the shirt, and a mask. OHHHH. I forgot the shoes. That could be a problem. Then again, I'm form ing various ideas in my head as to how to make my very own ninja shoes.

1. use my Tevas and make covers for them
2. get 2 pairs of black flip-flops, an ice-pick, and some heavy-duty shoe adhesive, as well as a crochet hook and various other accoutrements to really make the things

I would buy them, but the vendors online apparently think that if you're going to cosplay as a ninja, you're a man with big feet. Drat.

Haku? He's stuffed in the back of my closet. I've finished the jacket (looks damned good, for a limited budget) and mostly the pants, though I need some more work with the rest.

Overall, right now I'm feeling kind of...

blah.
