Oh, so that's where that hat is from!

ladyofthethreadFirst, thanks to everyone who commented on my progress pic last time! ^_^
I’ve been rewatching Gankutsuou as I work on the costume and finally figured out where the hat comes from. It’s been puzzling me since Eugenie has one in the pic of the outfit that’s up on the official Japanese site but there wasn’t a hat in the episode where I capped my reference pics. Turns out the outfit reappeared for like half a minute in a later episode and she had the hat then. So, now, I feel like I should try to have the hat although I still have a lot to do for the jacket. x_x (Someone please yell at me to start more than 5 weeks before the con the next time I do a costume with so much fabric painting.) Ordered the wool felt version of this and just got an e-mail that it’s been shipped. I’m hoping it’ll get here soon so I can start covering it with crazy patterns. Meanwhile, I’ve been working on the jacket pattern and painting my shoes.

stillvisions posted my solo Count D photos from AnimeNext the other night. ^_^ I think this one is the most interesting since it looks a bit like I’m blending into the grass. (Kind of fitting since D is a nature spirit/god and there is that artbook pic where his hair is green and turning into vines.) The golden glow is from the gold reflector he was using for outdoor shots. The rest of the set is on his site
And since NYAF is in another week, I should figure out if a birthday tea party thing is happening or not. I haven’t had much input so I’m going to say that I’m going out for tea after the con ends Sunday afternoon and that anyone on my friends list who’s interested in coming along can join me. (Actually, I’m not even sure where I’ll be going. Anyone have suggestions for tea places? ^_^;) It’ll be informal and I don’t expect presents at all.
