Since I was bored...
Aug. 9th, 2009 10:42 pmI finally took a picture of the Sakura pouch I made from the Omiyage book. The front looks like a cherry blossom while the back has a tiny pouch. I actually made the pouch a little bigger than the book said but it’s still so tiny, you can’t fit anything much bigger than a few pieces of candy in there. I completely handstitched this one, mostly while I was on vacation in the Adirondacks. (Check here if you missed my vacation photos and wanted to see them.) The colors are a bit murky in the photo; it’s a bit brighter in person. The design looked pretty in the book but after making it, I don’t think it worked as well as the other one I did. It’s cute but the little pouch is too tiny to be of much use and having the pouch there makes it look awkward when you try to set it down with the flower facing up. :-/
LJ didn’t work for me a good part of the weekend and I didn't feel like getting the corset and panniers out to continue on Ekaterina yet. So, I made a Cure account. ^_^; I figured I’d eventually get to it although I didn’t think it would be for some time. Still in the process of uploading stuff although I’m not planning to post nearly as much as is in my other galleries.

It’s been a little tricky figuring out how to add some of my costumes since I’ve done some pretty minor characters and not all parts of the site are available in English. Like when I went to add my Twelve Kingdoms stuff, nearly all the character names were in kanji only. ^_^; Luckily, I found a Twelve Kingdoms fansite with an extensive character list that included the names in kanji so I could copy and paste into the character search.
I’m not sure what to do with my Zodiac P.I. costume though. I’ve never seen another cosplay from that manga on American sites and apparently there isn’t even cosplay of it on Cure! o_O; It also looks like no one there has cosplayed Sarah and Cyndia/Cecelia either. From a tutorial I found, it looks like new series and characters can only be added through the Japanese version of the site and it looks kind of complicated. Any tips from those of you who also have profiles there?
