Busy Like a Bee!

Hey guys! There has been a lot happening on my end. It involves a lot of purple paint.

This is the back piece of the kimono that I've done with the purple butterflies. It's kind of hard to take a good picture of this because in certain light you can't even see the butterflies. Where I'm at with the stencil work, I still have one sleeve to do in purple, then I'm starting the white base of the coloured butterflies. 

Between my stencil work I been doing other things on the side. I made this necklace last night. Originally I was going to buy a necklace but I couldn't anything. It was harder to find beads that match and necklace- clasps.

The kagura bell, here what it looks like with the bells attached. I also made a "good luck knot" too attach the ribbons to the bell. I still have to get the ribbons.

Today I'm going the working on the last of the purple stencil work and starting to work on the white under shirt.

It's Getting There!

Yes! Nanami's kagura bell is coming together. There still some work that needs to be done, but things are happening.

Finally, Some Nice Weather!

For the weeks, I have been waiting for a nice, warm sunny day. I finally got one. Yes! Why am I so excited happy about warm weather? I get to spray paint my Prop! That means I'm on the final stages of completing prop.

I have been also doing some stencil work on the side. There's still a lot to be done, but it's getting done.

I'm so happy that things are coming together now.

What I've Been Up To

I haven't been able to get to my sew machine for a while. So I've been getting other thing done.

I finish Nanami's gold hair stick. It's made of cardboard to keep it light.

Here's a close up of the different beads used.

I added a popsicle stick for structure where it sits on my head.

Here is the base for the prop I'm making. I had some help with cutting the shape, but the rest I did myself.

I drew out the design, then trace it out on the wood, and went over it with a sanding tool.

For the curses, I had to use a Xacto knife.

I will be painting soon, once the weather clears up.

Here are the stencils I been working on:

Here a two profiled of butterflies.

Small sized butterfly.

Medium sized butterfly.

Large sized butterfly.

I will be adding more once I start stencilling.

Nanami Finish Uniform

Sorry taking so long to post my finish work. I'm so happy I got the uniform done and how they look.

In the anime series, Nanami had a white shirt as well. I bought the white shirt.

Here is the darker shirt a companied with the bow.

Here is the complete uniform.

Nanami's Kagura Outfit

I am also going to be doing another outfit as well. I'm already starting to collect materials for this outfit and it's going to be big.

Here is a picture of Nanami's kagura outfit I'm making.

Here's are some of the materials so far.

In my previous post, I had a picture of three rings. Well, after I took it to a place to get it welded to create a three ring tear. 

This is a picture of what is going to look like. Right now I'm going to put this on hold.

Nanami School Uniform

I almost done with this outfit. I finish the skirt. I just have to add piping to the front and bottom of the jacket, and make a yellow bow.
