Artist's Comments

Saw this tutorial -> [link]
...And remembered I'd been wanting to make a pair. It was hitsuzen. =w=

I think they look a little silly actually being worn(normal), but I'll probably wear them around my neck from now on just in case I have to suddenly cut up an onion or get caught in a dust devil. It's best to be prepared for such things, really.

Jar caps and a bunch of stuff I had lying around. I did go buy those little round things though.
The fur looks a little weird, I'm not sure what it is to be honest. Someone gave me a bunch of vintage fur collars and such to cut up for crafts, and that on was the weirdest. They called it camel, but I think maybe it's sheep. Then again, I've never seen a camel up close so what do I know? =w=;;

Btw, I'll trade my sou~er, artwork, for some suede. ;___; I wanted this to be black or dark brown, but all I had was that red/orange stuff... It was only just barely enough too.


It's 12 now... I feel nonsensical...

Wow that is really really cool. It makes me wanna commission you to make some goggles for myself. Like in the picture: [link] or for the spiral on his necklace. Me loves Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

I saw a mason jar on my counter today and it reminded me of the tutorial. >< I need to make my own, have a ton of deer leather left, lol.

Yours look awesome though, I like the spikes.

I am completely and totally out of suede to make the belt and such from. </3
I think you could make the goggles from something red and either get yellow sunglasses or use a yellow transparent CD case for the lenses maybe..?

Is it manga or anime? *has never heard of it*

I just stole some from the cabinet when I woke up yesterday morning... >.>
Gah, this year at Chasco Fiesta I'm just going to get a ton of buckskin. Dx I regretted not getting more all year. Where do you buy yours..?

Thanks, I wish I'd had a third pair one size larger though. |3

It's anime that's a few years old. I've only recently come in contact with it. It's out on DVD if you have the moolah for it but otherwise it's a little hard to find to download and watch. If you wanna download it's easy to find on Anime Source but not anywhere else.

Got 5 skins for $80 on eBay awhile back. What's Chasco Fiesta? Never heard of it before. But now that I think about it, Micheals sells bags of hide scraps, more than enough leather for goggles. I think I may grab a bag of that.

Oh...
It's a big parade/festival/pow wow celebrating a false story of our towns' history involving a love story between a Catholic and Native American.
Or something.

I don't even think the event planners know what it's actually supposed to celebrate. |D

I know I'll be able to get a lot of scrap pieces for stuff like this for about fifty cents to a dollar each, and small craft quality hides for less than $10, so I don't really want to go spend a lot more on eBay or a craft store when I can just wait until later this month... Dx
I hate waiting though...

We don't have any festivals like that here.
Bags of scraps here aren't too bad, have some nice large pieces in it, plus I have another idea for the excess.

I only go to eBay when I need full hides.

No pow wows? O.o There are like 2-3 a year around here.(although I've only been to Chasco)

They don't have those at the stores here. :[
They did have individual squares at JoAnne's, but it was $6 for pretty much 1 square foot... (Maybe that's a good price, I don't know. ^^; )
