"Buttons, buckles, ruffles, and lace!"
*glances at title* Hmm… I’ll have at least 2 out of 4 of those on my Terra costume. My shoes have lace trim and my necklace pendant is really a big gold button with a plastic gem stuck to it. XD I doubt I’ll find someplace to fit in buckles or ruffles though! I was thinking a bit earlier about possible things to include in the outfit and it occurred to me that I should dig out the large amount of jewelry I made a couple of years ago for a crafts show but didn’t manage to sell. I know I did at least a couple of lariat necklaces with beaded tassels. If there’s one long enough and in good colors to go with the dress, I imagine I could wrap it around my waist to go with whatever scarves I have.
The second panel for my Terra dress is progressing well. I’ll probably be able to finish the flowers on that one later today or tomorrow. And then start on the next panel sometime over the weekend.
To help pass the time while working on the sequins, I’ve been watching some DVDs and decided to watch the third arc (my favorite) of The Twelve Kingdoms again. I had watched my new Gankutsuou DVDs a few days ago and during the episode regarding Haidee’s past, I was reminded somewhat of Princess Shoukei’s backstory from The Twelve Kingdoms. Although in Shoukei’s case, it was really her parents who brought disaster upon themselves by having hundreds of thousands of their people executed for petty crimes.
And after watching a few of those episodes again, I’ve decided for certain that one of the cosplayers I took a picture of at AnimeNext was cosplaying Shoukei. Now, I feel kind of dumb for not recognizing it at the time because she hadn’t done the blue hair (although I can’t blame her since Shoukei’s hairstyle with her princess outfit is nuts!) and the fact that Twelve Kingdoms cosplay is so rare that I wasn’t really expecting to see any other costumes from it. And embarrassingly, I was wearing my nyosen uniform when I took the picture; my reflection was in the glass door behind her. ^_^;; Good to know that a few more people are cosplaying Twelve Kingdoms these days though.
