Hello fella's,
Here I am with a new blog. This time it is related with the bracelets. I continued working on them because they are my training material and I need to finish a Cosplay outfit before the 19th of October and darn, it is approaching fast! That day I will be going to F.A.C.T.S. (the largest convention of the Benelux).
Oh well enough blah blah blah... let's see how the work on my bracelets are evolving!
 |
| First I made my own Mod Podge with some old leftover glue (the blanco tube) and did 50/50 glue and water but it was still way too liquid. So I added some extra glue to it. Now it is better but still pretty liquid. Next portion that I will made is around 75% glue and 25% water! |
 |
| Then I hot glued the pieces of my bracelet together and ironed them afterwards (between sheets of flyers) to fold them into the right direction. (3 seconds of ironing and then you get around 10 seconds for heat-forming them). When that was done, I started with covering the bracelets with the Mod Podge. It took me half a day to add 7-8 layers on them. |
 |
| When the Mod Podge layer was done, I added the first layer of paint to it. My initial tought was making it gold or silver, but I hadn't it in my reach and I didn't wan't to buy it as it was just a test object. So I took the blue and it seems perfect for the cosplay outfit I have in mind. So lucky me!!! Now it still needs one or two more layers of paint and a layer of varnish! |

Look who is standing on his own now! Great job of him (^_^) Well this will be the last blog of Yoshi before he is finished but also to let you know that Project Yoshi will be put on hold, starting from today as I am going to continue on my bracelet (see other blogs) to gain experience.
This because in less then a month a pretty large convention is coming up and I wishes to have my cosplay costume finished by that time... So that project will get the priority now in front of Yoshi. For the progress of that costume, I'll also post some blogs ;) So there will be blogging activity in here ;-)
Well to stop the chitchat... here he is... proud and stout!

Yoshi keeps growing all the way... still 14 pages left to go! I love it, but there is a small thing about it that I don't like that much (^_^). Now that he is getting bigger, I have to stand up all the time to glue the next pieces to his body. It also caused me one time a misplacing of the pieces so I had to do a small surgery on him. Took a small sharp scissor and had to cut it loose and glue it back with scraps of paper on the inside.
As you could see in the last blog regarding Yoshi, you could see that I had connected the arms with the head thanks to a small bit of chest pieces. Now in the meanwhile, I've finished his tail which is a funny piece when separated from the body and attached it. Now his belly is also almost complete... 5 more pieces and the belly is complete.
The only items that remains after this are his legs/feet and his backshield. I am wondering how long it will still take to finish him completely. Below you can see him growing!!!

Above you see him as he was in the previous blog and his cute little tail!
Here the tail was connected but I had to be very very carefully as it was
only connected to the body with 4 small pieces!
And this is how he looks for the moment! For me he is marvelous!!!
