natsu fuku ga ii no desu...kawaii!

I ran into a problem with annwyd's plushies today. While stuffing Marie's head, the microsuede around her chin began puckering horribly. It was really noticeable especially because I'm making them in a special chibi size. I didn't have this problem making Duo for anime expo, so I assume its the microsuede. Help!

Taking a second to post this because I can~t stand it.

I LOVE YOU ALLE MARIE FANS FOR POSTING YOUR DOUJINS ON LJ. OMG. I just can~t download them yet because I don~t have my own computer and I don~t want my grandpa to log on to his computer to find Alle/Marie smut doujin on here. (yeah, femmelujah, I'm taking about the yummy looking doujin you posted! ) So please you guys don't take anything down until I download them ALL! XD

I just had the worst/best moment of my life as an anime fan.

Seriously, have I been missing something here?

Rewinding, I was browsing youtube for an old alle/marie amv (YES I WAS BROWSING FOR AMVS WHAT I NEED INSPIRATION FOR PLUSHIES!) and stumbled upon...this.


Yeah I really hope this works. It's alle chan singing, in case it doesnt work. They also had T-chan and the rest of the gang. Seriously, Alle sounds like a cute member of a boy band, which fits, you know? Totally moe. But T-chan, I felt REALLY embarassed for, because I KNOW you would have to get him WASTED to sing at all, and since Tieria probably doesn't drink...he just wouldn't do it.

I demand an explanation from anyone who can give it. Oh GOD, is there a soundtrack like this for Gundam Wing???? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO????

So after my ever fabulous uncle gave me a few pointers on creating couture, and I was able to finish Regene's dress for tieriakitten . Tieria's is about 90% done, all that's left is to hem the skirt and attach the halter tie things. And then poortieriakitten  will finally have her dresses. I was reviewing the pictures of the boys on my DeviantArt and almost fell out of my chair laughing when I realized how BLATANTLY HILARIOUS they will look...Tieria with that pissed of expression and Regene with his :3 face. OH MY GOD. XD XD XD

On another note I didn't even finish watching Gundam 00 dubbed this week. I think, after all, maybe it was the english that turned me off to the series. Or maybe I have less patience because I've seen it so...after episode seven when my OTP became canon the anticipation of seeing the series in english wore off....or hey, maybe it's because Ribbon's english actor gives me nightmares. However, my character of the week award goes to Lyle this time...I really liked the scene where he told Alle-chan to suck it up and try to understand Marie. Er, Soma.

SPEAKING OF MARIE........I ordered a Soma to go with the Alle I got in the art trade with tieriakitten...it was a total impulse buy,misskalloway  had put her up on the G00 comm and I thought...I have so many alles but no marie...and it was done. I will post pictures once I have a camera again...my kodak is 1500 miles away with my family, so I have to wait for the fiance's Canon. Anyway....

Look forward to the pics of the dresses, and subsequently my next project: creating Alle and Marie plushies for annwyd , who got second place in the Supersoldiers Fic Contest.

Yes, MG has crawled from her hole long enough to post. SO here~s the summary!

MG IS MOVING!

Yeah, so I'm moving to my first place ever, which means taking stuff out of storage, and of course by nature this is a lot of work. Thus, I have been and will be taking a hiatus from the internet in general. (did I spell that right...) I will still be tallying votes for the Supersoldiers Contest, voting ends this saturday so if you havent voted GO VOTE NAO!!! What else...oh right I will still be checking my email so if you need me just PM me on LJ. I will be back online at the end of the month.

And now a picture of the dress I~m working on for tieriakitten. it is the infamous dress designed for Regene( Pic under the cut )

So as an art trade with tieriakitten I am currently making the infamous dress from ep 8 (Regene gets a teal one)

Here are some pics of the base of the dress, I still need to add the organza pieces and trim.

Hey all,

So here are the first of the photos of ME in my Hilde cosplay. These were at the Gundam gathering, where I FAILED TO REMOVE MY BADGE FOR PICTURES *facepalm*.  Still the cosplayers were all really nice and welcoming, and it was great to geek out in a group! XD YAY COSPLAY!!!!

I did do a REAL photoshoot later, without my badge, if anyone wants to see those do comment. Here are the pics!

( Image heavy! )

I am officially back from Anime Expo, and I had a blast! I now am the proud owner of an i-doll box signed by Kouga, Mizushima, and Kuroda! XD I also went crazy at the exhibition hall and bought another i-doll (I got TIERIA XD) and TWO calendar dolls. Unfortunately I only got August Setsuna and ANOTHER November Alle-chan DX Hopefully someone from the G00 comm will give Secchan a good home. Alle already has his.

Anyway, I am very tired indeed, so I will have to give a full report later. THanks to all my friends who left me birthday messages, you all put a smile on my face!

It's about what...two days until Anime Expo? AND I AM SO NOT FEELING THE COSPLAY. I am so nervous, especially since my always bluntly honest fiance said no one would recognize who I am because Hilde is not a super famous character like heero or Ribbons or Tieria. T____T I mean, I did think about that, but I stayed loyal to my homegirl because I ALWAYS wanted her to be my first cosplay! Of course, I also assumed my fiance would be able to cosplay as Duo T___T

But oh my god, my lj people! Am I making a horrible social mistake in cosplaying as Hilde? I am the ONLY hilde at the gundam gathering! AAAHHHH!!!!!

*is scared of con*

Ok I fixed the pictures of Duo, so you all should be able to see him. That will teach me to copy and paste! DX

Anyway on another note, Relena was constructed today, I'll have pics up of my progress tomorrow once my fiance's camera finishes its charge.

Finally, QUESTION FOR LJ READERS.... as some of  you know, I'm cosplaying as Hilde Schbeiker for Anime expo. My costume is COMPLETE (oh wat! XD) And since my beloved fiance cannot cosplay as Duo due to time constraints ( and his refusal to wear a wig) I was wondering if I should make a small 8 inch Duo plushie to hold as an accesory. What do you guys think? Is this an advisabble thing for a con?

Duo is done! I know it seems sudden but I've actually been working on him this whole time. I didn't progress pics because with the 6 inch plushie it's IMPOSSIBLE to see how it will look ANYTHING like the character until it's done. I swear, I was doubting myself the whole process, thinking 'When I made Neil, he turned out so cute but Duo looks AWFUL!' but in the end he turned out pretty cute. He's cozzybob 's commission, and is dressed in his Endless Waltz outfit as per request.









There he is next to a 19 serving carton of nesquik, to show the size difference. Duo stands at 6 inches.




There's is braid. yes, it's felt. I had quite the time braiding that. since he's so tiny I went ahead and hand sewed all his clothes to make the fit more precise.

I hope you like him, cozzybob ! XD

Helloo all!

So, couple things I learned with this last commission. One, is that I never want to sew with Batiste again. It's like sewing with paper. Yeah, I got a REAL blouse for T-chan out of it, but really... NEVER AGAIN!! T___T Two, is to never overestimate oneself. I swear, I way underestimated the work that would go into these guys and their outfits. Three, I never want to make removable plushie pants again. Those are now worth their weight in gold. (Not really, but sorta) All in all, I worked a total of a month on these plushies, averaging about five hours a day, ten towards the end. Tieria's shirt ended up being even longer than Regene's A-laws uniform, totaling 18 hours of work. See? No Batiste, ever again.

Before I shipped the boys out to tieriakitten, I sat them down for a photoshoot. Hope you all like the result!

Here they are!

THE TWINS ARE DONE.

omnicat  and cozzybob : FINALLY. Now she can get her ass in gear and finish our stuff too!

I will now go and take a shower, which I have not done in...well lets just say...I need a shower. Pics later.

Let~s all take a second to laugh at my icon, courtesy ofomgpotatochips 

So I woke up today with Regene in one hand and a piece of felt in the other...I had been trying to figure out WHY HE WASNT working for me. Besides, you know the whole troll thing. Well it turns out I was just tired. ANYWAY. I also have a burn in the shape of Michigan on my thumb. I kid you not. I just noticed this morning, and thought...well how did THAT get there.

Another thing, my grandfather~s keyboard is the weirdest thing ever. He~s got it on some weird configuration so taht the apostrophe key is actually a c with an accent, and the question mark key is ; that thing. WEIRD. I need my apostrophes!

Back to plushies.....I know I~ve been awful with timing, and poor tieriakitten and omnicat and cozzybob have been waiting forever. BUt I will leave you all with an age old question asked, one that has plagued gundam 00 fangirls I~m sure. You~re all lying if you said you haven~t wondered if Tieria and Regene wear boxers or briefs. Well I have the answer. ( ANSWER AND PICS UNDER THE CUT...PLUSHIES!! )

I'm officially a sewing noob. This week has been epic fail after epic fail. I've sewn pants backwards, hemmed shirts in reverse, sewed my sweater to Regene's skittles uniform, and even....created ALL MY PATTERNS TOO LARGE. *dies*

But better too large than to small, and of course there is nothing a seam ripper won't fix! I do extend my apologies to all my commissioners, I have been working nonstop this week to try and get things finished. Here's what I have so far, it's all tieriakitten  's stuff.
( Pics under the cut )

So. Basically. Tune in, you guys. I'll be working until they are done, as you can see it won't be long until I get TK''s order out. Wish me luck guys!
 

 

Sorry about the pictures, people. Camera is absent so all I had was my phone. Here is Feldt Grace, in all her pink glory:



Since everyone has already seen her full body, I figured that I'd focus on her face and hair. Her hair took me 2 and a half hours. I stared and stared and stared at her pictures thinking....HOW THE HECK AM I GOING TO DO THIS PONYTAIL???? But I finally figured it out, and I think the result turned out true to character. She and Lyle and going to their mommy, ginnyseta , today. I'll miss them, but I know they're going to a good home! *tears up* ginnyseta, take LOTS of pictures at the con! and take a few of feldt for my website! Pretty please!

I'm officially back from my trip to the mountain lake with my newly college graduated fiance. Feel free to poke me for anything. Plushie commissions are open again, BUT PLEASE CHECK MY WEBSITE AT WORDPRESS FIRST. My prices have been updated to account for the cost of velour.
