Nia costume progress!
Yes, that's right, I haven't forgotten my goal of finishing my Nia costume by next weekend! Today I started working on the jewels and the wig! I don't have the time or the outdoor temperature to do resin casting for jewels right now so I tried a different technique using hot glue gun glue in the mold. It worked. So cool. I just sharpied them the right color after. These are just my stand in jewels until the weather gets nicer i.e. closer to Fanime.
Here are some progress shots of the wig!
I brushed out the curly wig because it would give it a lot more volume which Nia's hair has TONS of. Besides, it's easier to work with it when I don't have to worry about keeping the curls nice and neat.
I've only gotten about half of it done right now because my back started hurting from being hunched over so long and I stabbed my finger with the stupid curved needle >_<
anyway. PICS!
This is the inside of the wig where I was sewing the blue wefts in. Very time consuming. That's about as far as I've gotten. Gotta sew the other side on and then another layer into another layer of the hair. good times.
I went ahead and pinned everything in to see how it would look when complete :D I'll need to trim and curl a few strands and whatnot but I think it'll look pretty nice!
Yeah, the front'll need some trimming and whatnot. I didn't want to use the blow dryer since everyone else is asleep so the front cheek curls are a little crazy. I'm excited to finish this!
Anyway, I'm gunna go pass out now. Tireds~~ NINI!
