So I might be still blinging this out for a while

so I'm bouncing back and forth on various projects today:

1) Trying to figure out how to rewrite The Full Ronin
2) Writing Flip of a coin Chapter 45 (halfway done)
3) this ffxiv shirt insanity I'm going to wear to both Pax East and FFXIV fanfest
4) Finish art on ipad

Folding and sewing the purple ribbon piece into a petal shape

More folding, now it's a petal!

Youtube tutorial showed how to get the petals folded down using lighter to melt the materials together and that's so imprecise for me with the large lighter I have so I'm just sewing the petals with black thread 💀

Posing with a Star Wars book (Halloween at the library at the time in 2016, I believe) with my own custom Jedi costume.)

Posing with a Star Wars book (Halloween at the library at the time in 2016, I believe) with my own custom Jedi costume.)

Looking at this makes me a bit sad because I made my own awesome Jedi costume. It's long since put away in my sewing room because I don't want to think about Star Wars ever again.

At least I can appreciate the hard work I put into making the outfit.

Kind of jack of all trades: with art, fics, and fiber arts (knitting/costumes)

Fics: archiveofourown.org/users/kiapur... (standing at count of 16 for FFXIV)

I normally tag my art as #kiaart, #ffxivart, #kiacrafts

Five other FFXIV themed costumes made with some 3d printed props!

the back of the boots, deglazed, blue tape added for the gold portion to be painted later. Red paint shown to be added.

the back of the boots, deglazed, blue tape added for the gold portion to be painted later. Red paint shown to be added.

First layer of red down on the boots. Card with instructions show how to paint boots: Clean if dirty (these boots were clean), deglaze or sandpaper (I deglazed), paint in multiple thin layers, allowing to dry between layers, and finally finish off with a 4-coat finisher to dry for 48 hours. (I have two coat finishers in high gloss and satin, I'll be using satin)
