hakukumo — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:12:56 GMT

Top tier - Gintama [Elizabeth / Justaway] $4ea

Second tier - FMA [Al] / KHReborn [Hibird] $4ea

Flower series:

(#'ed 1-9 from the left)

These are my favourite~ (;w;)
Yes! That's a mini bee on that flower~ it's 5mm long~ =D

#1-7 is $3ea
#8,9 is $4ea

Set prices:
1@ $4
2@ $7
3@ $10

I'll be bringing these to Akicon. Hopefully I'll be motivated to make more.. LOL! I'll definitely make more Hibirds, since it seems popular. =3 But most likely not as the ones pictured above because their floofyness was annoying to make 8'D
Possibly will make the following:
- matching Ed in the same style as Al
- hibirds
- teddy (p4)
- haro
- Soul
- Kidd
- Yoko
- ??? (special)
- Shinatty chan
- enzios (maaaybe)
If I feel like it, I might make chara pins, such as Hetalia ones.

Just saying...

hakukumo — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:53:15 GMT

I did a flist cleaning a little earlier today.

If I don't have you on my list, chances are...
1) We don't talk anymore
2) Our interests aren't the same anymore
3) I skip over your posts a lot due to the above

Thanks for understanding. =3

Yes!!! Finally done! XD

hakukumo — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:40:58 GMT

...I don't even remember when I started... 10pm?! It took me 4 hours... why?!

Anyways, I made cookies tonight! 8D

Most of my batch. Actually these are the second and the third batch...

This is my first batch:

Justaway and Elizabeth cookies! =DDDDDD
They were the sole reason why I wanted to bake... coz I wanted to try to see if making a makeshift ghetto cookie cutter out of cardstock would work...

Regrettably it didn't. So I ended up manually cutting them out by knife. That's why there's only 4... coz I got sick of doing it afterwards LOL!

They're just sugar cookies but instead of vanilla essence, I added almond essence... Although when I taste tested earlier, I didn't taste any almond D8

oooooh well~~~

bed tiemz, HK tmr~ 8D

=D

hakukumo — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:27:56 GMT

Today:
- edited photos for Markl+Sakura costumes... but didn't end up putting up the ads... I'll do that tmr~ XD;;
- sent out Sou's pkg! hopefully it arrives safely =D
- made cookie dough! will bake them tmr
- GOT KEI'S PACKAGE!!!!

Omgosh! aoi_tenshi!!!!! (TWT) You didn't have to send me back something!! But I really like your selection for me... LOLOLOL!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! X333333

Hurhurhur, Hong Kong and Shinatty chan~ 8DDDDDDDDDDD *adds them onto my bag*

I also worked on more cpins today too!

Made this a few days ago~ Different design =3

Finished these today. =D
I'm really liking that Al... hahaha, so cute. XD

I've decided that I'll bring stuff like this to Akicon... My goal is to fill up the chocolate box I've prepared for them... If I have time, I'll make something else~ (^^) But yeah, no ambitious selling plans for Akicon... coz we can only make so much... XD;;
PANG! If you're free, come over~ We can mass produce em together XD

YeahYeah!

hakukumo — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:24:28 GMT

I finally got a reply from Akicon!!! 8DDDD
I know it must be one of you guys that said/mentioned something to them! Thanks so much guys!!!! (TWT)!!! ~♥♥♥

In other news, here are pictures of some of the stuff I've made recently:

What it looks like on me~

I have 2 more things to show but I'll hold off on them coz they're not sent out yet. =3

This was taken last Sunday~ I'm almost done all 3 pairs now, just waiting for it to dry and set. =3

hahaha, I lined up all the boxes for fun. XD

Shameless plug, open to public~

hakukumo — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:52:15 GMT

So... I only have complete materials for 3 more pairs of Sheryl earrings... 8'D

1's paid for and in the process of making.
2's paid for and in the process of making.
3's still available.

I do have 2 more pairs left after those 3... But I'm missing a key ingredient for them... so I'm holding out on them... XD;;;

So yeah. ~~Possibly 2, but most likely~~ 1 more pair of earrings left for sale!

If you want a pair, better be quick and nab that last one... Coz I most likely will be dropping this project to make other new ones for the future 8'D

All the info you would need/want to know would be in this post: CLICK MEEEEEEE
So.. read that before you ask me anything. 8'D

And if anyone's confused... this is what I'm plugging for:

ta-ta everyone~~♥

IT'S FINALLY DONE!!!!!

hakukumo — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 01:22:07 GMT

Haha, oh man... I was telling Heather earlier how I was getting tired of making it... but there was no way I'd not finish it so I kept going and now I'm dooooooooo~ne~~~~♥♥

The LAUNDRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! I've always loved the laundry line on this thing XD Even from my B&W one.

Calcifer~ =D

The bucket's my other favourite part XD

There are even gears underneath the right wing. =3

The balcony where Howl and Sophie stood in the ending scene~ 8DDDD

The castle will eat you!! ...If you were a miniature and small enough. 8D

26 sheets of parts
about 30cm in height, and 26cm in width (including spread wings)

This definitely took me faster than my B&W one XD;;;

...now to work on my commi...

[EDIT]
I forgot to mention this... but the propellers at the back can rotate if you spin it. And the wings flap up and down when you pull on the rod piece underneath the base. There's a simple contraption device inside that allows it to flap. =D

Writer's Block: I May Be Crazy

hakukumo — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:17:19 GMT

I see:
1) mirrored pigs with their snouts at the top of the picture, and their ears sticking out (upwards) on either side
2) a wolf/fox mask when looked at it as a whole
3) when looked upside down, it looks like 2 birds fighting over an acorn in the middle

...(^^;) hahaha, this was fun

Finally finished!!! ;w;

hakukumo — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:36:33 GMT

LOL, it's only 3 pairs, but it's 6 of the exact same earring OTL;; But they're all done now, packaged, and ready to be shipped off. I'll hand off Dei's to her this weekend when I see her. And I'll walk out to the drop-off box after I have lunch to drop off the other 2 =D

But before I finished those, I tried out a clip-on version~

I think I'll give it a rest this weekend XD;;; (But then again I don't have any paid orders anyways~ 8D So I'm done for now~

Sheryl Nome earrings ver4.0 [Final ed]

hakukumo — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:00:52 GMT

...I think. XD

I don't think I'll be changing the version anymore and this should be the final one that I'm satisfied with. ~~Of course if I come across something else that I think might work even better for the earrings I'll definitely work with that and update again 8D~~

In any case, this is the final revision for a while. =D

Today was hot again... is it going to be like this for next week too?1 (TAT)

hakukumo — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:10:56 GMT

*checks weather website*
LOL! Apparently it's going to be rainy/cloudy next week... 8'D
Rain on Fri, and cloudy on the weekend.
...At least it won't be hot? 8'D
The temperature will be cooler next week... and then it'll shoot back up again on the 18th... WHAT?!

ANYWAYS, THE MAIN POINT OF TODAY'S POST!

Yup, all done! 8D

I actually ditched the top I made in my last post, and replaced it with a new one. Good choice, since I like how they both turned out now. XD The glue took the whole day to dry thoroughly... even with the sun and heat baking them on my windowsill ROFL~ At least it seems like they're pretty sturdy now! (Yay, Dei! My worries are for naught! XD But I'm still giving you the extra parts just in case =D)

I really liked how the necklace turned out 8'D
The chain was a bit troublesome to make~ Buuuuuut soooo worth it in the end! XD Since I was being anal and made sure all the loops hooked on together in opposite ways, and that they're bended in a way that they'll hang straight... LOL! No one will notice BUT I WILL!!!

Riiiiing~

Have a last pic of the ensemble.

ALRIGHT!!! Now that it's done, I've packaged them nicely, disinfected the piercings, and even wrote a "love" note. ROFL~ (it's just a thankyou note, some reminders, and "receipt" kinda thing ^u^)

I also got through another chapter in my textbook today... Which makes 2 more chapters before my midterm. I'm going to be working on that essay now.

AND THEN I CAN WORK ON CIEL THIS WEEKEND WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY, OMG, YESSSSSS!!! I quickly made a draft pattern of how big I want the side panels to be... 8'D I'm so excited.

Song of the day,
Name: 「歌に形はないけれど」を歌ってみました【that × 歌和サクラ】
Nico link: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm3788552

that and Utawa Sakura is one of my favourite pair for Nico singers~ =D I think their voices compliment and blend with each other pretty well! =3
But I think I like Usa and Turai's pairing more than this pair~ XD Utawa Sakura's voice can be a bit too high sometimes... ^^;

Progressu~

hakukumo — Sun, 24 May 2009 09:06:02 GMT

Commission work, belt of Shiki from Togainu no Chi

Ring for Thea's Madame Red

I bought the base but it didn't come in red so I coloured it myself, and added on the embellishments to make it prettier. =3 I'm thinking of painting the rim gold since I think it'll look nicer on black&red than silver will. =D

...and no, I have not worked on Ciel today... Even though I want to, but customers come first (^^;) School -> clients -> me... Sad, yes, but true fax. So because I got all schoolwork I needed to do for the meantime finished Friday night, I proceeded to work on commissions today. Tmr will be another CM day, and Mon I'll work on school stuff. If I finish then Tues will be CM day too... At least progress is going good and I'm probably halfway done the belt! =D

Song of the day,
Name: 【トゥライ】「from Y to Y」歌ってみた

Decided to share this one because I personally quite like it! It's not "eroi" (sexy) like the other ones I've posted but トゥライ (Turai)'s voice and how he sang the song in this one just makes me happy. (>U<#)

[SALE] Juliette et Justine

hakukumo — Sun, 17 May 2009 08:56:12 GMT

~~1) light pink cutsew with red print on the front and cream ribbons laced on the back~~
2) wine/burgundy chiffon skirt with deeper wine red velveteen designs

>>http://community.livejournal.com/egl_comm_sales/6394262.html
or
>>http://community.livejournal.com/papilionwaltz/2545.html

...I've priced them at the prices on the price tag (lol, thank god that there were prices on them otherwise I wouldn't have known how much to price them at). They're actually pretty expensive... I never even noticed.. LOL! But, they're from Juliette et Justine, so...~ (^U^;)

I hope someone will take them off me, I really don't want to see them just sitting in my drawer anymore. They deserve to be worn out in daylight!! Why don't I wear them? ...I don't know... I think I'd look weird in them and they're kinda not what I'd wear (^^;)

Just to get this out in the open before anyone says "You didn't say so!"

hakukumo — Thu, 14 May 2009 05:05:23 GMT

I will SERIOUSLY freaking hurt someone the next time I get glomped by a stranger while wearing Ciel!!!

I was going to wait and write this in my Scon report. But let's write that here now before I forget.

True story.
Someone glomped me from behind while I was in Ciel at Scon, and one of my accessories fell off the pin because of it. She had her arms around me, that's why. I was in a foul mood for the rest of the night until I was able to get it fixed. Most of the people that saw me during that period can vouch for this.

So, conclusion, don't glomp me, EVER.
I do hugs, yes, but only for friends. _{(And by then, I'll probably forgive you for most things.)}

...I will have a cane with me at AE. I will NOT be hesitant to use it.

In other words, if any of you see people coming at me from behind, PLEASE let me know in advance to steer out of their way!!! I do not wish to be a glomp victim again. OTL;;; (I will be half blind, so that does not help one bit.... OTL;;;)

The above is brought to you with this coming to my attention:
http://animeevolution.net/index.php?topic=10397.0

...Thea told me about it, and apparently Ciel is on most glomp lists......................(TAT)
I'm not trying to a bitch, I'm just trying not to get myself glomped again... OTL;

Battle Code: X Gloves -VR ver-...

hakukumo — Tue, 05 May 2009 08:28:39 GMT

...8D

No cut for this!!!

This took me 2 months on and off. Actually I think more like a month, coz I didn't work on it until after Scon. I had one silver glove finished before then... But everything else was after Scon.

Haha, this is when I was spraying the cuffs outside earlier today. The spray didn't really work all that well coz the paint just slid off. But some of them stayed on so I just went over it again with a brush and some acrylics. I think the weather today didn't really help either...

Tried one on while taking the picture with my other hand. ...I considered asking my brother to help me take the picture... buuuut I don't really trust his photoskillz ~~even though I'm not the one to talk! ROFL~~ XD;;;

Trying to imitate that pose Tsuna did when he first activates it or sth XD;;

Closeups:

So there you have it. Now to get started and focus on other things... OTL;;;

v_i_d_e and sever007, can I get you guys to leave feedback for me on this page please? =D Thankyou!!

Chan's sense of humour is awesome 8D

hakukumo — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:39:17 GMT

APH: Japan s SOFT POWER by *Chancake on deviantART

I had to share. XD

...and I really need to sleep now. *crawls to bed*

Ciel rings [finished] =D

hakukumo — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:08:40 GMT

The details got a little less "relief" because of the layers of varnish I've put over it. (=A=) But at least I have a signet ring~! 8D

The family ring~

Details of the corner.

Top and bottom... pretty much the same though.

Left and right sides. Not as detailed as they were before the varnish coats =(

On my hands~~

Now I just need to remember to make a stand-up collar shirt for him and I'll be all set. I should have time to make a shirt... XD

Rings~

hakukumo — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:15:14 GMT

I was bored yesterday, so I set about to working on these...

I decided that I didn't want to spend $11 on the family ring (the blue gem one)... The ones available on ebay weren't as nice as I wanted... and I can't bring myself to pay for the really nice official one from Square-Enix (apparently it'll run up to $150 to get it shipped over here~ the orig price is 11,000円 *rofl*). Here's a post someone made on the KS comm that bought the ring and took pictures~ (it's locked tho)
Sooooo, I went and bought a base from a dollar store and worked on adding the details on. It's a bit bigger than it should be... Buuut it should do the trick well enough. =D
...At least I still have $149 in my bank account. =D

The other ring that he wears~ Phantomhive House crest signet ring. It's not on ebay nor anywhere EXCEPT I know it's in the package with the limited edition of the DS game coming out. (=A=)
...Soooooo, I made it myself again... *sigh* I don't know how well the details will show up after I paint it... Let's hope it'll be alright OTL;;

Details of the sides of the ring. I did it according to an anime scan I found with chara designs and stuff~ It's not 100% correct, but should still have about 95%~ 8DDD

Ok... I should really go eat. OTL;;

Wha- ...it's already 5am... WHY?!

hakukumo — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:14:33 GMT

But I had an afternoon nap... so it's not SO bad... But yes, I should really sleep.

Anyways, hmmm... why am I on here again... Oh right.

papilionwaltz
My selling journal~ XD I made it into a community coz it'd be too annoying to keep switching between accounts... so community it is! 8D
I'm gonna slowly fill it with stuff that I'm gonna part with. Right now that's about it. Not sure how well the stuff will sell... so we'll see XD;;
I think I'll start pimping it out tmr, after I get measurements done for my Tsukino costume.
I also asked a few to leave feedback for me if our transactions are finished. Please don't leave your feedback yet if the thing I made for you haven't reached you yet~ =3 Juuuust to be honest and all. =D

THIS!!! (it's @Nico)
Snakey linked this on her dA~ But the story! The art! Man, I want the second half out already X33333

Yukaaaa, I'll try to find a buyer for the pacifier. So, if you still want Leon I'll keep him for you~♥ =D

...This weekend I need to churn out a paper. It's rough draft, so not too-too bad... But still... Hate papers OTL;

Sheryl Nome earrings 03

hakukumo — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 06:19:15 GMT

Finished these today~ =D
Haha, I got faster making them a second time now X3

I changed the silver dangly part to metal instead of modeling it again because I was able to find a suitable substitute. I would've changed the silver part for the blue piece too... but I couldn't find a proper one. Last time I asked for one, the girl working at beadsmart gave me a curt "No, we don't carry it *blank stare*". After I had traveled for an hour just to get to their place. Yeah, thanks for your awesome service there =D

~back to homework.
I *might* work on Kagura later... *might*

Sheryl Nome earrings 02

hakukumo — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 10:02:12 GMT

So today after class, I went shopping for materials to make Smitty's earrings~ =D
Aside from new materials, I got myself a pair of beading pliers today too! For $2.5!!!!! I found them in a dollar store 8DDD I've been wanting a pair for a while now because my old pair nicks the metals when I work with them. So, yeah!
I love dollar stores~ =D

Aaaanyways, these aren't Smitty's earrings. I went back and "upgraded" Thea's pair because I didn't like how the purple beads turn out. SO! Here are the "upgraded" version! =D

I'm a lot more satisfied with this pair because of how the purple came out this time!

I'm trying something new with Smitty's pair. So hers might look different, yet again, from this pair XD
That's it! =D

Sheryl Nome earrings

hakukumo — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:51:14 GMT

Ok... so they're not the most perfect pair of earrings. But that's what I can come up with right now. I'm not 100% satisfied with it myself... but as long as Thea likes it, then that's what counts XD

A different background for comparison.

..I need to go work on some homework XD

[SALE] Leon, Reborn's yellow pacifier

hakukumo — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 10:23:49 GMT

Hi there!

I've decided to sell my Leon figure and my yellow pacifier. I've used them on several occasions for my Reborn cosplay in the past year.

*detail shots of Leon*

If you'd like to see them in action, here are some pictures of my cosplay.

Measurements
(Please note that these are approximate measurements. However, I do try to measure as closely as I can.)

Leon:
Length = 14cm
Width = 6.5cm
Height = 9cm
Weight = ~20g

Pacifier:
Length = 9.5cm
Width = 10cm
Height = 12.5cm
Weight = ~50g

Pricing
I'd like to get $32USD for both Leon and the pacifier as a set!
However, I'm willing to separate the set IF there are buyers for BOTH items.
Separately, they will come to:
Leon = $20USD
Pacifier = $12USD
OR best offer~

Shipping
I will ship worldwide.
Shipping and Handling = $8USD
(decided to cut the packaging costs~ But shipping is $6, I kid you not =A=)

Payment
I accept PayPal. (most preferred method!)
(**A fee of [4.9%+0.30] will be added if your PayPal account is a credit card account.)
I'm not accepting money orders.
Concealed cash and cheques sent to me will be at your own risk.

Other Misc info
I will ship out the items as soon as the payment is cleared and in my paypal account!
Please leave your offers here, thanks =D

That should be it.

Thanks for looking! =D

Anya's "cellphone"

hakukumo — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 06:17:56 GMT

....Lately, I've been feeling really "bored". Although I am able to find things to do... but I still feel "bored"... maybe a bit lethargic too... I don't know.

Anyways, I've got this done today:

(A few photos and 2 lame omakes under the cut)

I gave some thought about installing a fake camera lens thing on the back... since how is it going to take pictures when it doesn't have a camera lens... But I got lazy and I didn't go and find any proper refpics to verify... So I just left it as is (^^;)

In comparison to my hand:

the very-very-lame-Omake's:

(on screen: me-ru = mail/message)

(on screen: infected)

Moral of the story: be careful of what messages you open if you don't want your stuff infected with a virus! =D

..Watching Gintama has re-ignited my love for it... I will probably make a Gintama costume in the near future. My only problem is -which one- to make first XDDDD What do people think? I'm thinking of either Otae or Kagura right now (besides a whole bunch of others, but those will wait). =33

More pictures!

hakukumo — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 09:11:33 GMT

...because I just had a stroke of ~~idiocy~~ brilliance! =D

I've posted these on hitman_reborn. So if you've seen them, sorry for the repeat ^^;

...Ok, I seriously was not thinking bad things when I took this picture. I think I wanted more of a "one foot on top of the other" type of victory pose... But it didn't work out coz Leon's 2 front legs are fixated... so it looks kinda bad XD;;; I did try to put one of his foot on Phantasma's back... but it just looked like Leon was peeing on him... LMAOOOOO~~~ XD

Hibird's made by Jenzay~ I got him back at AE! =DDD It's so cute, it can hold cards up XD ~~kinda useless, but so cute XDDD~~
