It's amazing just how labour-intensive these native costumes are, but then I expected that. It took me all just day to make Asa's leggings - sewing a rafia fringe, cutting and staining a leather fringe, drawing the designs onto the leggings, sewing on the fringes, and then the snaps, then gluing on the shells. I broke my last leather needle for the sewing machine, and the normal needle was making a total mess, but fortunately I found a multi-use package with another stretch needle (leather gets sewn with the stretch needle) so I was able to finish.
I love how these two photograph together. Next step is Byuri's cloak. I've cut it out of leather already and am in the process of cutting the fringe.
There's another boy doll headed this way - a Limhwa Limho Mono. I've always liked his sculpt and thought that he'd make a great addition to my MSD group, and when one was offered for a really good price I just had to go for it - even though I'd been telling myself "no more dolls for awhile". Yes, I know I shouldn't, but when such a great deal presents itself how can I resist?
