distressing the fabric..

..

Is there anything more beautiful than doing a favorite character, receiving and rereading a book with the best fanfic in the world.Thank you @imbrss for one of the best adventure novels I have read in a long time...

After a hundred years of using transfers, I tried embroidery and it finally came out decent...

Quiet, they are talking...

Unfortunately, there are no full-length photographs from the last Thalmor, but you can appreciate the scale of the work with the gold inlay, which was finally found. At that moment, I already had an industrial machine at my disposal, and this accelerated the work. Together with the materials found, the assembly took two weeks of pure work...

Somehow, when I was going to the festival and having already brought the gray guard costume everywhere, I wanted something like that. Thus was born a long quilt of the guard, stuffed so tightly that it stood in the corner on its own and alone occupied the entire suitcase.It’s a pity she was strictly true to size, and when muscle mass suddenly gained, the suit became noticeably small.But such a quilt will be a true friend both at the festival and in the field, given the density of the layers.Remarkably, this sandwich of six layers was stitched on an ordinary household machine, no one expected this from it). True, the side seams still had to be processed with a semicircular needle...

And here is a small selection of masks that we made at leisure until our own needs.Leather, evny, different. The Dagoth Ur mask has a history of almost 15+ years, and it was born from a piece of cardboard with slits for the eyes. Time flies, flies...

Delightful orders from the past - this is Dimitrescu under stilts almost 3 meters tall. We were often ordered dresses under stilts, and it was still an adventure even with the fact that I have a two-meter cutting table and a large area of the workshop haha...

It’s still difficult with a photopolymer, but with an ordinary fdm 3D printer we played Settings and won. The result is not always equally good, and to be honest, it is very annoying to print one frame for 3000 years, so I will cast them from plastic, but so far the entertainment is incredible. We set the craft to be printed at the fest which is next week, I laugh from our naivety.  And without a clue what to do with this guard plate, I entered too large parameters. I will make a casting, and there will be a stand for a cup...

Some time ago, Mozart carved this amazing cast face, and now I am 146% sure that I will make myself a merch with this face, because for the last six months I have looked something like this. I'll make magnets and put them in parcels, because it's such a mood of a year that words can't describe it.The best work on a level with a cactus.By the way, it was here that silicone and plastic let me down, so with the same face I was looking for a supplier in the city for two hours, but I found it in an almost neighboring building. Well, at least the master model remained...

Again unexpected school uniforms. Beautiful. It seems like a day to sew, but in fact there are a lot of details...

New day, new pair of raincoats.From new to old.Hand-painted, which takes about 5 days for one cloak. It would be possible to make a print, but it would be better with handles. How much has been done in these four years, 20 pieces? And there is so much left to do.....

For a long time I did nothing on anime, I completely forgot that focusing on screenshots is a so-so idea, because the proportions of the costumes, lengths, colors, patterns + - half a meter. Eh, youth, I sew in the night under the power of white gabardine, I returned my 2009.Meanwhile, the staff from One Piece. It is disassembled into 4 parts, 43 cm and 48 cm each. Making something so collapsible is a little death, but now you can safely fly with craft even with a small suitcase. Maybe.By the way, the blade was made of wood, the bases were made of wood, and in general a lot of wood turned out, because it was easier to process it with an ending eva foam. This is how a grinder and a jigsaw work wonders.I also drew a snake with a dolphin face. It's not on purpose, I just can't draw.PS: the pouch at the end of the stick is the best I've sewn in years.PPS: the example of this bag shows the processing of the edges of natural fabric so that it does not crawl, but the edge remains open. Someday I will stop thinking that all my work is obvious even to a neophyte, and I will start writing notes about techniques...

Heading "unexpected anime". Doesn't sit very well on the mannequin, but overall I don't mind going back to basics. And even here to shove a silk lining into cucumbers. If the suit does not have a beautiful lining, then I was replaced. And appliqué made of leather with delicate beautiful stitching.While the jacket with pants.And yes, I did watch x)..
