Ciel: The Wig

Hi!

When I ordered the wig, I knew I would have to cut it because in the reviews section of Amazon, they all said it was too long. When I got the wig, it looked like this:

Cool, but more like Undertaker than Ciel.

Then I cut it. It was my first time cutting a wig. Actually, it was my first time cutting hair at all, but I am very happy with the result!

Me wearing the cut wig. (LOL you can see the hair on my shirt ehehehe)

I basically just grabbed sections of the hair, then cut with the scissors pointing up, to get that layered look. For cutting the back, I put it on a teapot as a form, because we don't have a foam wig stand.

Here is a picture of the wig with the hat on, the way it will be in the final costume:

Happy happy happy. Okay.
That's basically it for today. :D

Ciel: The Shirt

The shirt. 

Hi!

As you can see, I've finished the shirt, so now it just has to be sewn into the coat. The coat in the picture's actually the prototype for the coat, I'm just wearing it to show how the shirt will be framed. We haven't actually worked on the coat yet.

I actually made it by using a used tuxedo shirt that I found at my local thrift store (ever my friend), then hot-glueing lace trim onto it, instead of just buying a ruffled shirt. Which probably would have been more expensive, so I'm happy about the way it turned out.

Anyway, I also got the "earrings" (my ears aren't pierced, so I got fake gem stick-on things), and buttons for the coat.

Things are moving smoothly!

Ciel: Quick Update

Hi!

I've ordered the wig and rings, so they should be coming soon, and I just got this fabric for the coat:

Lovely blue fabric! Yay!

It's a bit darker than I wanted, and pretty stiff, but it's nice and velvety and will work nicely!

I've also worked a bit on the shirt, but it's not finished yet, so I'll post about that later! 

Aaaaand...That's basically it, I'll post more when some stuff is done, or when I get the wig (yay!) which I'll probably have to cut.

Anyway, bye!
