Description

All patterns were drafted by myself. As much as vinyl is hard to work with, I love sewing it. I dunno, it's like a love/hate relationship. Boots were hand painted, zippers are made from craft foam and attached with snaps.

A big thank you to Kyandi for providing me with red vinyl and casting the lovely resin gems that are on my bracers, and to Animeisha for donating the pyramid studs I used for my belt.

The wig is made out of 2 wigs, the base wig being a ravished red femme fatale from amphigory that I had cut bangs into, and straighted out with a flat iron (on low of course), and the pony tail being my Mink wig (cosworx red Punky XL) with a clip on it. The wig is a bit heavy. It was lots of fun to figure out how to make the wig since I'm no good with wefts and extensions. I think it works rather nice. It may not be the darker red that her color is, but I think it works well. :)

The gun was made specifically for the ACP Gurren Lagann Contest.

Materials used for the gun: 2 cans of Navy Blue Spray paint, Pink spray paint, Yellow & Black acrylic paint, PVC pipe & random pieces, Sprite Bottle - for the green plastic used on the scope & lenses, Plastic suction cup dart - for the inside laser pointer, Toy Gun, Foam board, Poster board, Googly Eyes, D-Rings, Metal Hook Screws, Duct Tape, Packing Tape, Model Magic, Cup, Joystick, Paperclay, Craft Foam, 20oz. Coke bottle top, Super Glue, Epoxy, E6000, Vitamin Water Caps, and Super Sculpey. I don't have the pink strap attached here, but it is now.
