~~t-minus 119 days until Katsucon 2018~~
shiny-side-up, scribble on it with the color of sharpie you want your gems to be. After doing this, you use the super clear hot glue and make hot glue dots over the colored area. I was skeptical at first, but the hot glue will settle so you don't have pieces jutting out in weird places. Once it dries, you just cut it out and BOOM! - gems. Honestly, I love doing this so our Pokémon-Jedi will probably have a lot of them.

I love doing original characters because it lets me be as creative as I wish with the designs. I suppose that's the artist in me. HOWEVER, with creative freedom comes the constant anxiety that you could've designed something better than you originally had. Man, am I finding myself anxietied (because that's a word now, I declare it) over this Moltres-Jedi mashup. I decided to scrap the entire armor build that I ALREADY did because it was too bulky. I'll for sure use it in the future for another cosplay and I plan on recycling some of my feather pieces into both Zapdos and Artincuno, SO IT'S ALL GOOD. I wanted to make the armor part of the cosplay thinner, more feminine, and streamlined. I started with the shoes - and actually ended up doing them twice before I was happy with the design. I only have one done right now. Hahah. I currently have that and the headpiece done - ready to prime and paint - and the cloak pretty much finished, aside from a few details and weathering. Does anyone else deal with constantly wanting to change their designs?!?!I seriously have anxiety attacks over these things and I don't know why. I'll sit and obsess about pieces until my stomach hurts and my heart races, and then I have to change it. I have a hard time like the decisions I make and I'm constantly seeking validation for my work. I don't like that. I'd like to be confident in my abilities... You see, I'm having this problem now with the headpiece. I think it looks to Native American.. and I'm sure there's no way to tell until I have it done and secured and I'm wearing it for a bit. I'll probably end up changing it.. it's starting to give me an attack. Things in red haven't been started, things in purple have been started, and things in green are done.
