Yaaaaay

AE r0xx0red. I had tons of fun, and it was so worth the three hundred dollars it took to be there and up in Canada. There will be photos and con report and such this evening, as right now I need a shower, food, and a nap, as overnight flights suck like that.

However, before I go, I feel the need to share the project Brooke and I have been working on all summer, now that I can, and I'm self-centered and egotistical like that.





Look familiar ^_~? (For those of you that have already known about this, yes, there are hakama, but there were puddles of water everywhere and the hems dragged. I'll get more photos this week sometime)

DAMN. Can I be you when I gr... wait, that won't work. Hm. I must ponder this.

Sheesh, now *I* wanna be Gorgeous Kimono!Subaru, and I'd be terrible at it. Not to mention that Ojou-chan would murder me. DagNAB you, girl. However, it's beautiful, and compliments to both you and Brooke. How'd you deal with all the painting? Did you use fabric paints? What kind of brushes? (I may need to do something like on my ABoston costume, though obviously not to that extent.)

I'm not sure what kind of paints Brooke used on the middle layer - the bottom and the haori were done with DecoSoft fabric paints, I think was the brand name. Bought them at Micheal's for $1.50 a bottle or so. I used a larger one of the the slightly fancier craft brushes for the stenciling, and then a tiny one for touch-ups, Brooke used a small-ish one like mine to do basically all her painting with, I believe. Hope that helped ^^ And thanks!
