sashiko and bunnies

[aimeekitty]

--- So these are some of the sashiko stencils I've gotten! I love the traditional Japanese motifs, you can use them for stuff other than sashiko too.
--- The lower image is the bunny fabric I got a Okadaya when I went to Japan. I plan to make an A-line skirt with pockets out of it.

You really should add my cosplay group journal if you haven't already. HCC COSPLAY. I post most of my costuming things there, and all of us are ramping up for cosplay season... you'll see all our work in progress stuff there.

Bunny fabric ♥

You are getting me curious about sashiko! Actually, just those templates push some sort of 'wanty button' with me. Especially the crests. I can't wait to see what you do with them!

well, the large wave crest I already made into red sashiko circles. They're going on my Amaterasu costume. I'm probably going to use some of the repeating wave and grasses designs for the inside of one of the sleeve designs too. I can't decide whether to do it in gold paint, or whether to sashiko stitch it yet though. Maybe I'll do both :D

but I'm thinking I'll put some crests on the bottom corner of some skirts. :)
my bunny skirt is going to have a red thick band at the bottom, so maybe I will put a white or pink stitched sashiko sakura on the red band. :D

stencils = love, especially for repeating or symetrical designs.

it's a good thing these fabric stores don't ship internationally or I'd be broke. they have so much cute stuff like this.

I was going to ask you for the stencil links too LOL They're pretty awesome.

BTW did I read correctly earlier that you have a new machine? Hmm? Details please? :D I'm still debating about what kind of new machine to get.

Heya!
I'm friends with Meghann (merryshannon), and we were chatting at her birthday party about people in cosplay, and on livejournal, and you happened to come up because of that-- but also, because I'm an animator and she thought I'd be interested in your stuff.
Sooo, I took a look, and you probably totally know this, but you've got killer style. I really like what you've done-- and your costumes are pretty amazing.
So, I wanted to go ahead and add you as a friend (with a brief explanation why).

I haven't cosplayed in ages, like serious ages, so when I find costumes every once in awhile they're always the most amazing things, and I kinda go "Wow".

Hi! :) haha... I'm embarrassed/flattered that you guys were talking about me! Meg rules!
What kind of animation do you do?
Thank you so much for the huge compliment about my style! O_O...

anyway, I'm not sure what to say other than thanks. :) I dont mind if you ad me at all, but I hope you understand if I don't add you back right away. I really only add people I know personally for a while due to some security problems I had a while back. but most of my posts are public. art and cookies and such. :)
