I was wearing a heat-tech shirt + fleece lined jeans under it too for the snow photos 😆

Thank you! It’s been 84 years 😂

Yaaaaaaasss! 💖

Thank you! She’s still my favorite of the priestesses 💖

FFX does have a bit of that!

I’m about to summon something, but it be Genbu and not an Aeon 😆

It was a very fine grit, and I like to wet sand. It will look frosty before clear coat.

Thank you!

Truely, we’re rooting for the people of Minneapolis 💖

The good news: Takiko is finished. 🎉
The bad news: no ice castles 😢

With the tensions in Minneapolis, our group decided it wasn’t a good time to be tourists.

We’re going to visit the same group of friends in Wisconsin instead. I hope we can still get some nice winter photos.

We had some troubleshooting with the resin printer, but the last of the gems have been sanded and hit with a clear coat

Many thanks to my hubby for handling the 3D printing 💖

Just the pink resin gems left to print. Assuming we don’t have printer issues, Takiko could be finished tomorrow.

I used fabric + HTV to make a Genbu summoning scroll for a prop

Kyle 3D modeled the pieces I needed, though the resin printer has been a learning experience.

Doing some surgery to get a metal band inside the hat to provide more support for the accessories.

For the missing components on Takiko’s Shinzaho, I used worbla + apoxie sculpt. To add some extra detail, I stamped with a filigree clasp.

The references aren’t consistent on the number of stripes for the hat; I settled on 5.

She’s long overdue, but I’m so happy she’s almost done 💖

My struggle with something like this on Etsy is shipping fees and time (depending on where they’re coming from)

I’m currently working on her hat and assembling pieces for her Shinzaho/Shentso-Pao/necklace. Going with the Genbu manga colors, which are different from the OG FY anime.

Visiting Michaels later this week for some more beads before resorting to online, and Kyle is helping 3D model the rest.
