Cosplay In 20 Days Or Less: Day 8

          Cosplay In 20 Days Or Less: Day 8

It is finally occurring to me that I will be using every bit of these 20 days. 
Today Mikata and I hit the thrift stores (Tuesday is bag day/ $1 day) and I found some awesome things! I didn't buy everything I found that I could use because it became glaringly obvious that I would have to buy a white button up short sleeve shirt and 2 black ties + paint for them. Can you believe that I couldn't find a single black tie?!

 At a cool store called "New 2 You" I found a black blazer (name brand, $150 new) for $5! Mikata swore up and down that it looked fantastic on me so we kept our eyes open for another one. I would hate to add white trim to

 a coat that, frankly, I would wear all the flipping time.

I have two staple styles. Professional and Comfortable.




  This is the "goody" bag that I filled at one of the stores. I got the required white belts. I was going to get a ton of brown ones for a possible SNK/AOT cosplay (Captain Levi maybe?)
but I passed. I will go back later to get them.

After 3 hours of shopping over a span of 2 (almost 3 towns) we stopped for lunch.
Can anyone guess where we ate?

 A cosplayers work is never done so once I returned home I resumed work on the pendants. I covered the second one in Gesso and let the first one continue to dry.

 Obviously I have more rough edges on the second pendant than on the first. Hopefully I get this figured out.
I am going to start the sword after I get home from class tonight so it will probably be a part of tomorrows daily post.

**I also played with how to get the right shape to make the colored gems and made a tool to make them with.... xd
Thanks for following this crazy experiment! Hopefully this works out for all of us!
See you tomorrow! (or later :P )
