Hm. It would appear I have two new orifices. Yesterday I clung to a very patient 5hi_tenshi for dear life in a dodgey little chemist. It's been going on ten years since I last had my ears pierced, and I can still vividly remember the screaming -.-; However, this time proved to be much less painful than my ailing memory served. And the little sliver studs will be just about ready to take out in time for AVCon, so joy!

Also, I've managed to get some cosplay materials. I need to create a big-ass wing (with help from a certain Manifest technogeek), and was wondering if anyone knew what I could use instead of feathers. I was thinking of cutting out hundreds of cardboard feathers, but like most of my cosplays, that sounds a smidgen dodgey ^^;

Duct tape... my god. That is awsome. I don't suppose you have any pics lying around? ^^;

Mini tutorial
1. Draw your wing shape and cut it out of some cardboard. I used a fruit snacks box. Don't forget to cut out a piece to connect them.

2. Cover the wings with duct tape, and attack the connector piece. Make sure it'll look good on your doll of course.

3. This is the trickier part. Cut a small piece of duct tape, then cut it in half. You're left with a little square of duct tape. Fold that in half but leave space at the top. Cut away one of the sides at the top so you're left with a little duct tape rectangle with a sticky flap at the top. That's what you'll use to put it on the wing. Then cut the bottom edge so it looks like a V. Stick that to your wing.

4. Repeat a zillion times until you're done. In the meantime say goodbye to your fingerprints, they are now part of your wings.

5. Get some clear elastic and using duct tape, secure it to the wings. make sure it'll fit your doll of course, but if it doesn't you can always do it over. You can make the straps out of duct tape but this way you won't see the elastic as well. I got my clear elastic at Walmart.

(Idea originally crom craftster.org. I just modified it.)

Oh my goodness! That is indeed quite a creative (and spikey) tutorial XD Thanks very much for posting that *tackleglomps*. I see what you meant about the whole futuristic look it has to it. For some reason I can see some Gundam cosplayers stealing this idea ^^;
