Costume Progress
...or lack thereof. I have to be realistic. There is no way I'll be able to get this finished in time for Anime North. T___T The process I chose for detailing just takes far too long. It LOOKS really nice, so far, but... c.c Time-consuming. Way time-consuming.
Yes, I know... I could have used fabric paint, and been done in a quarter of the time. For some reason, though, I just didn't want to go that route. ^^; I feared that the fabric paint would be too stiff, and/or crack/fracture on the fabric... and it wouldn't look as nice. And, also... in some way... I felt beading would somehow be a little more 'accurate/traditional' for an outfit like the Alma-Kinan have. ^^;
But it's taking a heckuva long time. @_x; I CAN bring what I've got done so far with me, to show who's interested... but it won't be done. ^^;;
Which also brings up the question, what costume do I bring to AN? o_O; I think the only one(s) I actually have that's possible is Billy Lee Black. ^^; At least that's a very easy, comfortable costume. ^^;

When I'm doing lazy squaw, I also like to actually stitch in with the bead string every so often, depending on how long of a run of beads I'm doing. Wish I hadn't sold my last piece last year or I'd take a picture for you.
But keep going on this one... just think, you'll have it done in time for NEXT year!
