Less exciting but I also made the teeny tiny clip that goes on her journal
This was texture again with modeling paste then rub n buff for painting
It doesn't have a real spring since it will be permanently affixed to the pages.

Onto the slinger, which I modeled through brute force of my limited Fusion 360 skill set.
After going through a couple rounds of sanding I stippled on gel medium to texture the metal parts and modeling paste for the bone.
Both used various methods of dry brushing to get to the final result

As for the jacket assembly a majority of the parts of have been cut out. I'm essentially applique-in each part onto an understructure so I don't have to play with the curved seams.
After I restain the red parts I'll start on the assembly but you can already see the shape forming

When the jacket is fully assembly I'll be adding some thin silicone appliques on the portions where the lining is visible (ie lapel and sleeve cuff)
First test pull was too thick so I needed to reprint the mold
This is dragonskin with a little mica powder for the color

I have this deliciously texture cotton for my coat lining (same weave as my romper). Since it's cotton it took fiber reactive dye well after a couple of batches to adjust the tone
With stencils I 3D modeled and printed I stippled on the coral pattern with fabric paints

I needle felted the diamonds on her bandana and styled her wig. It was a little to capture the wispy stylized hair Wilds has but I think I did OK
This is a Charlie in black brown from coscraft. I probably should have ordered something a littleeeee thicker

A lot of progress has been made time for a catch up
Learned how to cable knit so I could make the bottom of the jacket (which you won't even see)
It was super easy to stitch it on by hand

What's this? Returning to an old project?
A sweet friend was looking to get the helmet off their hands so I happily took it.
After a quick paint job to match my silver tones, I made her spooky eyes with few layers of black mesh and fabric highlighted with holo paint

I've just been knitting and dyeing
Unfortunately my Botan pants fabric came out too purple so that will need an overdye
Alma's liner came out perfect but it seems like her backpack fabric wants to stay that bright green 🤔

I think so far my journal is my favorite part. I took apart a couple of mini spiral bound notebooks and rebound them using the Japanese stab binding technique because it was easy.
To make the covers I heat and bonded a thick stabilizer to the outer fabric and stitched the seam allowances down

Finally have more to show!!
The romper gave me some trouble but I didn't let it beat me. The lacing on some of the seams is such a charming detail
I also finish knitting the base of my bandana, cazy how nicer it gets after wet blocking

I am back to having not much to show
Started laying down the base on my needle feltling with polyfill
Committed some crimes on the shirt but you won't see them
With my knitter friend's help I was able to pick out a yarn and pattern for her bandana which is going pretty well.

Tentatively I may open wig styling commissions so if you need a wig with a tight turnaround (I'm looking at you Holmat, Mag, and Katsu), let's chat
I'll make a more dignified post later but here's some of my portfolio

This was very validating though.
I orginally made it to wear as Tataru but wore it as one of my WoLs for a con.
Guess I know what I'm wearing to Distant Worlds in Jan

Literally no part of Alma is 100% done it's all in wip status 😅
I started on her under jacket which I'm turning into a hooded vest for temperature control. The front visible portions are a delicious wool while the back is a cheap cotton flannel.

I also managed to cut out basically all of her romper pieces. I took extra care to add some additional seam allowances to account for the chunky weave
The texture is gonna be so tasty when I get it to a wearable state

Alma is in a bit of a weird state as I bounce between stuff to minimize change my needle types and thread so often.
I started her knee brace with is seude lined with interfaced cotton canvas
The final product will def need to snap to my leggings but that isn't a huge deal

Haven't been able to paint the sword just yet but I did do a test of the outfit
Let this be a lesson in how a test check with the homies is a great tool. I decreased the length I topstitched down the pleats and took in the top a smidge. You can see more of my body shape instead of funky box

Alma and Youko are progressing and I'm foolishly going to cram in Dark Tournament Botan later in the fall
Here's the two I'm waffling on
Alta from Wanderstop and Reina from Fields of Mistria
I have all the supplies for Reina but Wanderstop is up next on my play list and I know I will get hooked
