Yukata Work IV

The work continues! Really been making some serious progress lately on this project.

January's looking to be a big month, with another project on the way. Pretty excited about it. Need to finish up Lidia's Yukata first though. Few more odds and ends on the liner to sew in.  Some of these seems sure aren't pretty but luckily the liner hides most those flaws.
I got some ideas for her obi. Definitely has to be a lot more fancy and eye catching then Hrist's. *gasp* More fancy then Hrist's tastes you say!? Normally Lidia doesn't care about such frivolous things, how ever, for something like this type of outfit she should be over shadowing Hrist. Perhaps that's why I kept Hrist's yukata relatively plain and simple. I think hell froze over -_- maybe... >_>;;;
 Going to try and cram in some more work on this after work again today.

Yukata Work III

Managed to get quiet a bit more of work done on these Yukata's today. Hrist's yukata completed! All that's left is Lidia's now.

Lidia posing in Hrist's yukata for display purposes.

Hopefully have the main bulk of Lidia's completed tomorrow if I can cram in enough sewing before work, or after.

Yukata Work II

Big winter storm rolled in during New Years here! Crazy stuff, even had snow on the mountains! Exciting stuff, sadly I had no time to go on a cold leisure photographic road trip due to work... but snow of any kind this far south sure is a rare and amazing sight!

I did manage to get some more work on the Yukata though! While working on Hrist's parts, I decided Lidia needs one as well... only problem is Lidia's needs to be bigger, and bader then Hrist's :X So I'm expecting some wild obi for her. I had some silky left overs in black, and have been working on it while enjoying the rain outside.

Yukata Work

Started working on a simple Yukata for Hrist for February's event this year. Muslin test seems to be somewhat of a success. Never imagined sewing a few 'squares' together would rack my brain so much. Either I'm putting to much thought into this, or I'm making it more difficult then what it is. Planning to do a make or break version of it soon. The kind where you use the real material and hope for the best :P  If it works out, I'll be making one for Lidia, as Lidia's been modeling out Hrist's Yukata for me. Lidia's armor's slightly faster to get off the Hrist's. As hard to believe as that is ;)
Well there's my update/project rant.
Should have photos for the new years! Speaking of.... for those who have been following my little blog this year, special Thanks! It's been a wild and crazy year for making stuff. I'm hoping for another good year.
Have a Happy New Year everyone! :D

Hrist's Helmet Work

A day off! Finally, and it went by all to fast -_- but it is what it is, and it was a rather productive day...

Got a ton of work done on Hrist's helmet today, almost all the modeling work is complete. A lot of checks before I start to get the model prepped for printability.

Lidia's Trip to Saguaro Lake - Photo Story

Had some time to work on a photo story of the photos I took at Saguaro lake about a month ago. Seems like a distant memory now however. X_X

Posted the story on the Dollfiedreams forums.

Lidia definitely had a wonderful time. Looking forward to doing hopefully more in the new year.

New Parts and Helmet Work

New parts arrived today here at the Workshop.
Few pieces include:
-Hrist's helmet template
-Hrists final left gauntlet.
-Secret project. (More on this near January)

Finally can get these gauntlets done once and for all :P Hrist has been wearing new and old variations for months it seems.
As for the helmet template, it seems to have a real good fit. Now I just need to find some time to continue modeling it for the final print. Been working several jobs lately and it's sure taxing any free hours I have these days..

I did manage to do a video for the sake of my creative sanity a few weeks ago which it seems I forgot to post on my blog! >_>

Looking forward to starting the painting of these parts!
