crafty crafty craftiness

I've been doing some crafts and watching movies recently. so here are some things:

almost done with my bedazzled sheild.

made a first whack at an apple of Eden.

I'll make a better one eventually, I swear.

And my sister got me this guy. I've totally loved Jericho from first sight. He's blond and mute, what more could you ask for?

Wreck-It Ralph

I don't suppose I ever mentioned that I got to see Wreck-It Ralph a week before Monday. Well, I did. And I haven't stopped thinking about it since. (the only problem is that it has reawakened the gamer in me and now I want to spend all my time playing my DS)
The other thing I forgot to mention is that I made a Polyvore account a while back.
Like always, one thing led to another:

 

One dilemma is that overalls are so out of style that it is part of what gives Ralph a retro charm. Here I substituted a skirt (because I like skirts) and suspenders. The hulk keychain is to call back to Ralph's giant hands. The shoes are a nude platform which will be subtle and yet help with portraying his taller stature.

 

 Ralph's design was super easy and plain, so I went as casual as possible here. For some reason, I felt like a skirt would look bad for this outfit. I dunno. And a little gold hammer necklace because I don't need to explain that.

Since Vinellope wears kinda plain clothes, I decided to deviate most here. I replaced her hoodie with a cute mint sweater (because I'm really big on sweaters now). Since the ties brought a pop of color, I added a pink bowtie. Cookie earrings because the outfit itself does not scream "sweets" without something obvious. And striped tights because they're cool.

Matt. What are you doing. Colors don't work like that. you can't feel them.

More Rinestoning and other things

Spent another night rinestoning:

SPARKLE!

But then we ran out of white. So that's all we got done.

My sister ordered more wigs from The Five Wits, but I only have pictures of her in the Gothic Lolipocalypse in the color Bloody Mary (she had gotten a second art bang zodiac star and the gothic lolipocalypse in café frangelico):

As you can tell, I really like these wigs.

 My friend gave me a bottle opener (apparently they are a common item to give away at races) and my sister had told me about how much Lady Blackhawk drinks. This was the next logical step:

HAWKAAA!

And lastly I got a good haul from Newbury Comics a coupe days ago:

I finally found a copy of the director's cut of daredevil! (don't judge me but I love that movie) and all these were $4 a pop. What a deal!

horrible blogger is horrible at updating

I'm amused by how many times I've written on this blog about how I am horrible at updating. I'm always like "I wanted to update sooner but -insert excuse here-," but I never get better at updating.

So here's an update:
I did my nails in the beginning of the week (but then broke a nail when sewing so they look ugly now).

Assassin's Creed 3 FTW

I also hung out with Antonia and Raven and started working on a sparkly shield for my Captain America costume (seen here and here)

the shield was bough on sale at CVS for $6

Here it is after two hours of gluing.

 It's a children's shield so it will be small enough that I won't want to murder myself while bedazzling and it won't cover my costume when I pose.
