rallamajoopIt just dawned on me I haven't actually gotten around to mentioning that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pinneagig and I are going to this year's Manifest in about a week and a half. This is a slightly bigger deal than most of the cons we go to, since it's interstate and one of few chances we get to meet up with all the people we know who've moved out to that side of the country in the last few years. We'll be running a stall on the Friday and the Sunday along with a couple of interstate-PenCafe member friends of ours. No new costumes made, but I'll be bringing along Syaoran and Overture Ky for the weekend, and goth-loli Joshua for the ball.
Speaking of Ky, that made this con a good excuse to get around to finishing a couple of extra details that I didn't have done for Wai-con.
The cross down in the corner was finished for Wai-con, but it got a little mangled during the day, so I'm making a new (and hopefully more robust) version.

The whole thing looks very clean! It's quite awesome. Did you get the stars printed on?

Date: 2010-08-13 04:58 am (UTC)Yeah, the stars were an Embroidme job (considered trying to do them myself out of fabric for about five minutes before deciding fuck it, not worth the hastle). But at least I get to say I cut out all the gold edging by hand. Just finished hemming the blue and gluing all the gold down last night, still have to sew it on to the cape.

Not exactly, though the yellow star design is heat-pressed vinyl and the gold edges are regular gold vinyl ironed on to some interfacing to get all the edges to line up neatly. I'm still dithering over a couple of possible methods of attaching everything together from here.
