Got A Friend To Help Me Make A Duct Tape Dummy Of My Torso! Gonna Make A Breastplate Type Item For A

Got a friend to help me make a duct tape dummy of my torso! Gonna make a breastplate type item for a @magicmeatmarch costume, then I'll probably try to pull a corset pattern off of it.

I haven’t really decided what aesthetic I’m gonna go for though. Current thought is wide at the shoulders, maybe with attached pauldrons, then some big scales/plates overlapping down the center and tapering down to the crotch, with straps/buckles at the sides. I might try for a boob/pec-window sort of thing, but I haven’t had many ideas about how to integrate that idea with other pieces I’ve done so far.

I'm at Arisia! Got me two tables filled up nicely with leather masks and armor and jewelry! Hooray for getting enough stuff produced to have a respectable booth, even though I only had a week's notice!

I should try to be better about showing the small things I make. So here's a bracelet someone bought from my Etsy last week. Both scales and rings are stainless steel. I do a bunch of different colors with scale mail because people like them, but I gotta say, stainless steel is still probably my favorite material to work with. It's just straightforward and satisfying. And of course, here's the link to it up on my Etsy.

This seems annoyingly prescient.

Nice Tumblr ya got there...would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

My contribution to @magicmeatmarch this year! It’s a set of armor fit for a light and swift fighter. It protects the important parts while avoiding restrictions on mobility.

I’d been wanting to make a larger breatplate-type item for a while, this felt like a good excuse. I went with the overlapping plates motif that I’ve used in a number of other projects. It’s secured in place with Too Many Buckles along the sides. When it’s all tightened up it has a bit of a corset nature, straightening up your posture. Made it a bit tricky to do the over-the-top twisting-to-show-off-tits-and-butt poses. But I persevered.

The codpiece, bracers and cuisses were older designs, but it’s always good to fit them into matching outfits.

Aaaand updated photos of my jackal mask!

I feel silly for forgetting to make people other than my boyfriend wear it for product photos. But that’s fine, he looks good in it.

Only a few more things to post and then I’ll finally be done with the photos from that October photo shoot!
