So, I never posted about my obsession with “The Arcana” game from Nix Hydra haha. I have drawn a lot of pictures of my apprentice (with her love Julian). But I also have a thing for making flowers from games haha. So, I made the Deadly Starstrand. I used glow paint to make it glow in the dark too (sadly doesn’t show well on my camera haha). I am hoping to put a tutorial on my YouTube for how I made it at some point. I hope to put more Arcana fanart on here along with other content. :)

Disclaimer: I am not a professional wig stylist. This is just a trick that I found works for me on some of my wigs that I’ve accidentally fried. It will not work on all types of wigs but it should work on most. A good rule of thumb is to always test the heat of a flat iron on a small section of your wig that doesn’t show before you start straitening it.  Hopefully, if you follow this rule you will not run into the problem of frying your wig. If you do over heat your flat iron and you melted the fibers into a hard lump, sorry, but it’s probably not recoverable.

Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to message me http://cosplaying-on-a-budget.tumblr.com/ask

1/19/14 http://shinjigif.tumblr.com/ added: I’ve got a tip for straightening a wig: If you have a straightener that doesn’t have heat settings and you cant put it on a lower heat, try to put some parchment/wax paper (i dont really know what its called but its the paper you bake things on) around it!! it lowers the heat and makes it safer for your wig! Remember to always try this out on a strand that people won’t notice when you wear it!!

1/9/14 Anonymous wanted to clarify that parchment paper should be used since wax paper will melt into your wig.

Zelda Ocarina of Time cosplay wip.  The Pauldrons(shoulder armor) I still have a lot of work to do till they are finished. They are in a very rough stage right now. I plan on buying some Worbla(a thermoplastic) to encase these in for added durability ( I am also paranoid that if I coat these with resin it won't cure properly and mess something up lol). But this is some of the stuff I have started or finished as of now. I just ordered the fabric for the dress as well, so hopefully I will have some updates on that soon(the earrings will probably be the next thing finished).
