Part Two of GingerNut's Diary~

I hate making cosplay accessories in general. I've just come back from my best friend's house after spending FIVE DANG HOURS trying to mold polymer clay into... yes... a mellennium ring from Yu-Gi-Oh.

*SHOT*

Yes, I'm going to Otakon this year and cosplaying as Bakura. I thought this would be easy. I thought this would be simple. I was wrong. Trying for two hours to fit six screweyes into baked polymer clay was pretty much my version of Hell. My friend and I basically spent quite a time cursing loud obsenities to noting in general while constantly repairing cracked clay.

They say that making your costume is half the fun, but is it really? If you are a fellow cosplayer, please share your frustrations as the anime con season rolls along. It'll make me feel better, that's for sure.

....Now I have to do english homework... Geh...

Mainly Otakon as I can drive

Mainly Otakon as I can drive to it. My budget can't afford getting plane tickets and a hotel room for about three days. Cons are getting to be rather expensive for me =/

I have not really had any

I have not really had any costume woes.

The last pain in the ass costume I had was creating a solid snake in the box box.
We did full game detail with all of the markings seen in the game.

It was not as much crafting it that sucked as the fact that by the end of the night you couldn't breath properly in the house because it reaked of sharpie marker and paint.
