i’ve been working on Mitsuha’s hair tie/bracelet from Your Name! learning about kumihimo has been fun, but this style is a lot harder to do than the simple friendship bracelets i grew up doing. keeping the tension consistent between knots has been tough.

i used this vid as a tutorial!

Well it’s been over two years, but I finally finished this bracelet! (It didn’t actually take two years of work, I just put it aside to work on other projects).

I also learned that the pattern I used isn’t actually kumihimo, alas! It uses knots instead of braiding. Still, I really like how it turned out.

hey check it out i made something!!

i’m making a Vash cosplay for Dragon Con and really wanted to try my hand at this papercraft pattern i found. it was uploaded years ago with no instructions to be found, but i managed to cobble it together after finding another person’s extensive progress pics of the build.

still needs paint, but it was super fun to put together and i love any prop with moving parts.

yes you can!

some progress on this prop! before painting i did three layers of watered down wood glue, 1 layer of black gesso, then a base layer of black spray paint followed by silver. may have been overkill but i wanted to make sure the card stock would stand up to layers of paint without warping. after that it’s just weathering and detail!

Nearly done! just needs some more detail work then it’s on to the holster.

i really, really enjoyed this show! so much of it felt catered to my interests, like the slow character driven scenes and the general sense of humor. can’t wait for season 2, hopefully it won’t take 2 years for us to see mobius remember loki ☠️
