Zidane progress
Jan. 7th, 2010 11:02 amJacket - made it a bit too small. DX Nothing I can do about it now. Ruffles and lace have been added, still waiting for the gimp braid to arrive so that I can put that on, too, for extra bling. Need a method of fastening in the front. Thinking about using hook & eye.
Cuffs - done except for the gimp braid. After adding that I will do the buttonholes (right now it's hard to judge where to put the holes). The cufflinks are ready and waiting. They're very loose and are supposed to be that way, so I'll need to think about how to keep them on my wrists later. Either velcroed to itself (not so pretty) or velcroed onto another tight cuff underneath (prettier), I guess.
Trousers - made. With a very neat hole in the back for Zidane's tail. Not sure if I should bother making the pocket on the left trouser leg. I might screw it up and this is the shiny version of Zidane anyway, and a pocket there might just look messy and out of place.
Pouch - is that a pouch or a sword sheath? No idea. Anyway, I've started making it. Have the base done using leather-looking vinyl plus real leather cut off from things I no longer want. Need to get craft foam to make the decorations.
Jewellery - earrings made on the same night I made the trousers. Pendant has been made with clay stuff, now waiting for it to dry so that it can be painted. It needs a necklace to go on, though.
Gloves - just gloves, not glove + biker-looking-things, since that doesn't suit this shiny Zidane. I already own a pair of gloves that's just right.
Inner shirt - tight sleeveless tee with collar, it seems. I'll put one together.
Shoes - not yet. Will get some cheap boots and modify.
Cravat - or whatever it is he's wearing around his neck. Trying to figure it out.
Tail - I know how I'm making it, just need to get the materials.
Swords - >DDDDDD Will talk about those later.
That's all I guess? I really hope that is all.
