#faux leather

[clearlyaginger]

Controversial opinion but if I search for "leather roll" and the next thing that's recommended is to search "real leather fabric by the yard" and I search that and then there's only 2 results for actual leather and they're like 12x12 squares only and everything else is faux leather I think that whatever brands are tagging their faux leather as real should have every board member, ceo, and high-ranking employee shot in front of their families and fed to the dogs.

Side note I also think companies that manufacture faux leather should have 1,000 plagues.

how do you keep your pants up when you’re performing? it’s incredible!

belt.

i started this with a sheet of upholstery vinyl that i laminated together front and back using heat-n-bond. i then cut out each of the pieces i needed and painted the edges with a black satin paint to create the illusion of burnished leather! i used riveting tools to cut out all of the holes on the belt, and of course, to install the rivets that hold the buckle in place.

the first belt accessory is the potion! i’ve had this bottle sitting around for like three and a half years now, empty, from the target dollar spot around halloween. it was finally time to put it to good use! the solution is water, acrylic inks for color, and gold and silver mics powder for the shimmer when agitated! i was trying to capture the nuances between the greyish color of the turtle master potion in recent updates, and the bluish purple of the enchantment glints prior. after mixing it up, i simply sealed it with some silicone. all of these materials were just things i had sitting around my studio already, which is awesome.

i cut and painted more strips, and modeled a potion holder after ones i’ve seen at every renfaire and convention vendor hall since i can remember. no use changing up a formula that works! i did end up adding a decorative cover to the snap here, and painting the rivets to match the belt’s hardware.

using the same processes, i made a loop to feed through the loop on the totem!

again modeled vaguely after another design for a sword frog i liked online, i sketched up a pattern for a weapon frog! i wanted it to be somewhat versatile since i’ll have more than one weapon i’ll want to put in it, so i opted for three snap straps to hold whatever weapon it is in place. again, i covered the snaps with decorative ones and painted all the rivets gold.

it fits toothpick with just a little give, so it can fit a weapon up to just a little bit bigger around than toothpick’s upper handle!

originally that was everything i had planned for the belt, faux leather wise, but I realized there was no way in hell i was carrying a bag with this cosplay, so I wanted a pouch for my phone. I made a couple mistakes while working on this. most notably, I chose a metallic cord for the thread. why did i do this. it took probably twice as long as it would have had i just used embroidery floss because of the nightmare challenges metallic threads pose.

I do think it ultimately turned out nice, though!

The only pictures I have with all of the finished pieces on the belt at once are on the next full costume sneak peek, so you’ll have to wait either for those to be ready or for me to finish the wither skull props, whichever comes first ;)

The Costume Choices for Villains in 2000s and 2010s in fantasy and loosely historical films really did something for me.

I love the aesthetic. Prefer fake leather for wearing though. As a filmmaker it's visually rewarding the way it catches light.

Also rewatching Guy or Gisborne YT edits is definitely helping me write Thorin under Influence of Dragon Sickness for Chapter 2 of "Burglar of Mine" a Bagginshield Time Loop botfa fanfic

Petey saw some little dogs wearing clothes and she said that she wanted some, too!! So I bought her a biker jacket. She paraded around the house, wagging her tail, with a big grin on her face. I think that she looks great in her new jacket. She thinks so, too!! Now, I just have to get her a motorcycle!! Or I can get one for me and she can ride in the sidecar!! That would be very, very cool 😎😁😍 Vroom, vroom...

Petey is a biker dawg!!! Woof!! She's sooooooo cute in this jacket!! Dontcha think so?
