Current progress: Anise - Base dress done, bottom needs shaping, needs bias taping and zipper. Waiting to get new cloak fabric. Lollipop papier mached and dried, putting on another coat and priming for painting. Still need sleeves, socks, shoes, and wig styling.
Simon - lolpants failed, redoing today after buying new fabric. Jacket still in pieces, waiting to be lined and needs zipper. Core drill unpainted and in two pieces, needs sanding and gluing. Need shoes, goggles.
Jade - Shirt done, needs collar and sleeves. Need cloak, pants, vest, and book for a prop.
Tokunaga - pieces being cut out and sewn together today, will be worked on by hand throughout the week and on car ride to Orlando (if unfinished by then).

Guys, I think I can do this. o:

Going to mix some more papier mache paste in a bit, I still have some left over from yesterday but it's probably gross and hard by now. FUCK I LOVE papier mache D: I feel like I'm 8 again when I'm doing it. fuckyeah

The wig's finally all straightened and sfsdfdsf, I need a new hairbrush though since someone broke the one I was using with the wig. :/ Going to get that today, and then brush the wig into pigtails and trim it to the right length. My wigs for Jade and Simon I'm going to have to style in the hotel once I get them from Jenna, but she's going to help me hack bangs into Simon and cut the one for Jade. D:

The lollipop's turning out really well, only 3 layers of papier mache and it's already hard as a rock. I smacked it against the counter edge and it didn't even dent. o: Putting on another three layers just as a precaution, and then I'm going to prime and paint it. I also have the little rings and endcap on it made out of paperclay, but I still need to sand them down to proper shape and attach them. I'm not sure what to get for a priming material though, I wanted to use gesso but I can't find smaller tubs of it. The ones at Michaels are all half-gallon and over $10, I don't need that much and I doubt I'll end up using all of it even with the props I'm making in the future. so... idk.

Core drill's kind of inaccurate, but I still like how it looks. I'm casting another one out of hotglue or something, so I guess I can deal with using this one for now until I get the time to make another one. o: Goggles, I'll be getting stuff for the lenses today and then I'll be able to put them together.

I've basically got the base items down for each costume. Still need to make lolcloaks, and a vest for Jade, but those'll be easy. Piecing together Simon's costume is pretty easy too. I still have to do shoes for both Simon and Anise, but I doubt they'll take too long. I'll just skimp on some of the steps for Anise's shoes. >: Yeah.

A-and I need PANTS. AND A BELT. Those're the only things I'm really worried about, since today's probably the last day I'll be able to get them. If I can't get a pair of white pants, then I'll have to ask everyone I know if I could borrow a pair from them. >: ugh, too much trouble. The belt I could probably make a makeshift thing instead, but.. people will notice. D: people like /cgl/ lol

oh well, fuck /cgl/. D:

annnd I need to make some time to play around with makeup. I hope this doesn't come out too bad. >:

well, basically, I'll be busyasfuck this week. lovely.
