pezI've made the gi and hakama. Haven't tried them on yet since I lack the white belt. Have got more white material to make it, then I can try the whole thing on.
The sword's ready, just needs an extra coat of clear spray. Liz tested it and getting it in and out of the scabbard means scratching the silver paint work. =/ But hopefully the clear layer would help protect it a bit.
The tabi and waraji have been purchased. I'm not making those thank you very much. It's sad because the waraji worn by Bleach characters are quite different from normal ones and it'd be so much better if I made them. But 1) I don't know how to, 2) I can't be bothered, 3) no one will notice them anyway.
The sash for carrying the sword, and the decorative thing on the sash are both ready. The hilt guard has been made, just waiting for the spraying first, and then the handle can be "roped" (bound?) and then the new hilt guard can go on.
In terms of hair... still waiting to get a haircut. I'm going to miss this long hair, but seriously, it's getting too warm for long hair anyway. Last year I almost melted in my flat, so might as well get the cut and try to survive this summer! Then I need to re-bleach the roots, then put on the white/silver dye I already have... oh and then I reckon there needs to be a trial-run of gelling the hair into Hitsugaya style.
Was going to get some contact lenses, but I'm feeling too stingey (sp) for that now.
Anyway - anyone else going to London Expo on bank holiday weekend?
