Hey guys,

So, as you know, I've been working on a Sandflea costume for about eight months: here, here, and here.
Well, the costume is completed! Not only is it completed, but I recorded an episode of AO on how to make it. =] View that HERE.

For those of you that would prefer to have a written instruction of making it, well, you came to the right place.

3. Use the chalk to trace the curve of your head onto the fabric.

2. Take of hood. Stick tack through the back of the chalk mark and stick on the eye. (repeat for each desired eye)
3. Try on again to make sure it's what you want, before you make it permanent.

5. Put on hood and pin mouth where desired.

SWEATER
It's a Freddy Kruger sweater. go find one. If it's Halloween, go to Hot Topic.
Hey guys,

IRON CROSS NECKLACE
This one looks good.

PANTS
These are important. If you forget these you'll look silly. And possibly get arrested.

If I think of more things to add to this, I will.

In Color! Clock

Hey guys,

So yesterday while taking my lunch, I stopped by Ikea. I decided to take a look and see if they had a clock that fit the size of the "In Color!" belt.

I found a clock for a really cheap price. So I got it. I spent some time designing the spiral part (fairly accurately, might I add). Then I sized the actual belt, using pictures and found out that the clock I got was too big. But I already spent all that time on it, so I kept it a clock.

For those who can't tell what the hands are, the hour hand is a missile (was originally white, but got smudged so I marbled it, might fix it...)

The minute hand is the sword

The second hand is what I'm calling the "splew"

As far as the outer circle, I still might paint it silver, but that all depends on money... and how lazy I feel.

I'm thinking of doing a run of these, If anyone would be interested in buying one, let me know.
