Cosplay in 20 Days Or Less: Day 6

           Cosplay in 20 Days Or Less: Day 6


Today we had the first injury of this project. I burned myself pretty good with the hot glue gun and it required treatment. I tried to get ahead of schedule by hurrying up with the second pendant but I got a cruel reminder that time is a privilege not a right xd

 First, I cleaned all of the trash out of my work zone. No that is not it off to the side. I actually threw away as much as possible.

 Any gaming Otaku out there?
I didn't realize how literal this sign was going to be....
The tally for props vs Aki is 5/2 in favor of props -_-

 My hot glue gun can do some really pretty things when it isn't trying to burn me alive. I thought this was cool looking so I stopped to take the picture.... I should have whacked the gun off the table and sarcastically said "oops."

Now, if you want to try this yourself (be smarter than me) I want you to know that it might not be perfect the first, second or eighth time. Practice as much as you need. Worst case scenario you go with the best looking one.

After you butcher your nails by prying your shape off of the metal tool you take a tooth pick or something similar and clean off every tiny bit of playdoh. Every last speck.... Cosplayers are patient people.

And we are crazy, but mostly patient.
Now here is a picture of the burn. What happened was one of my roomies distracted me so the gun dripped onto my finger and I had a choice. I could either let the drip harder and blister right away and burn like Hell (literally) for a few days OR I could drop the hot glue gun onto my bare leg and see where that goes.
Obviously I went with the firey, finger tips of Hell. As I am sitting here typing this with 9 fingers occasionally I slip and use that finger. Then I bite my lip and mutter a few Japanese or German words that sound like cuss words but aren't XD
Please forgive any typo's. I will fix them after I fix myself :P  See you tomorrow where hopefully we will cover painting the pendants! Provided I don't do any critical damage between now and then...
