Judal: cosplay in progress pics

Under 3 Bulbs of Light

 Some more progress on the jacket- I finished hand sewing the black panels and around the neckline, added some felted wool and I am now problem solving the sleeves (or lack thereof).  Teaser pics of a 2D piece and some embroidery I've been working on, and my constant companion in the studio.

If you can make out the work 'trout' you are off to a good start!

                                             

This is all on hiatus for the week, as Halloween is fast approaching- when I'm not at my day and night jobs I have been putting hours into a costume that is putting some prop skills to the test.  I made a shirt by drafting a pattern from scratch using the grey mannequin; found out that I've gotten infinitely better at fitting sleeves.  Minus a serger, it looked store quality.  Also figured out a working design for haram pants, which can be put to future projects.         

Upholstery, Conclusions, & Costumes!

A stool I picked up a short while back, I'd say around the last days of September/ early October.  I didn't care for the original fabric so I decided to take it on as my first upholstered project.  Hand stitched it on, the fabric I used is a synthetic blend thrifted.  

I have a purple chair in need of repair, I suspect I'll be attacking that as well this month.  Currently I am working on finishing projects I've started about or have begun to formulate plans for in my head.  There are a few, so we'll see how it all works out.  I also have a Steampunk costume to plan for the 30th and a cosplay for Halloween~
