I have finally finished :iconlittlemarin:'s Gauntlets. It took forever to get the red stain and semi-gloss sealer which delayed me greatly. I was about to contact Tandy Leather because they hadn't charged it on my account, until right before shipment. So I got the stain yesterday and they are done today! ^_^ I ship them tomorrow.

I did run into a few problems with sizing. They seem to have shrunk during the drying process because I had Nytengale (our Phantom Ganon cosplayer) try it on before it dried...no problem. I had her try it on again last night...and it was really really small! lol so I cut out a little bit of the base around the wrist and the top layer of leather covers it so it looks the same but it's a little more stretchy now. I hope it fits her or I'll have to make her a new pair! lol!

I realized my problem though. The wrist to open space ratio should be 1:2 so that it sits comfortably around the base of your thumb and you can slip your hand in and out easily. (you can also tuck the tails of your glove in as well) lol I didn't think of that when I made hers, so I hope it fits. It will probably be really snug but I hope you like it Little Marin! ^_^

Leather molded, glued, stained and assembled by me. ^_^

You can get a pair too for only $88, or $100 with gloves included. ^_^

I'm not entirely sure! I don't really have a consistent con-going group as I would like, we just kind of go where the wind takes us. I was hoping to go to one that I was told I should go to, but I think because I gave away all of my extra prints at the end of the con, I lost the information about the con that was written on the back of one of the images! D:!! XD!~ Wait, no, I found it and I see nothing </3 Damn. XD!

Do you have any you would recommend? I mean, personally, I just enjoy going to places where I can see people that are completely passionate about what they do in their free time and for some, in their work time XD!. And some perverts, but still, that comes with every batch of people. </3 XD But yes, I know my friends and I would love to go to some fun ones <3 :) so any advice would be wonderful to hear <3 :)

lol, tragic! haha! ^_^

As for here in town, we attend Filmcon, which is much more of an informational convention than anything else. Usually I don't attend many panels at large cons but this one is really small, even smaller than Geek-Kon, but it's really great. It deals a lot with film making and there are photoshop tutorials and techniques and they have prop masters for movie sets come and talk about the industry, etc. For all practical purposes I think you would love it! ^_^ Not enough people registered this year so there won't be one this fall, but maybe there will be another one in the spring. I'll let you know! Otherwise, we just usually attend ACEN, Wizard World Chicago and this year Youma-Con. We would like to get up to Anime North one year though and maybe Anime Iowa another as long as finances are in order, and perhaps even a road trip out west to California eventually!

If you ever want to combine your group to travel with us, I'm sure we can accommodate. ^_~

Hey! Filmcon is right before my birthday! Haha! (I just looked it up) It sounds very interesting <3! It seems that Wizard World Chicago doesn't have any details up for the next year yet, so I'll be looking though that site before I go into detail about whether I like it or not <3 But I have a feeling I will seeing as it's more of a marvel comic feeling place rather than just anime. I'm a lover of Spider man (and his dork <3 <3) and Batman (with his manipulating abilities) <3 :3 Genius! <3 :D Youma-Con sounds fun! But I probably cannot make it this year </3 (that's around the deadline for my portfolio to be done, and I have to have a set of perfect/very well done pieces by then X-x; D: ) So hopefully I will be able to get a few things done and over with, and also because it's in Michigan and there isn't quite as much time as I would hope for to plan for a con </3 (our troupe is so big we usually have to rent one of the four suits and an extra room when we go to ACEN XD) Of course, I have a feeling we will be splitting up a bit now I think, but It was fun to get suites while it lasted XD! <3 I'll see you at ACEN and possibly Filmcon then! :D

I cannot wait for ACEN; and I still need to give you that picture of you I drew! I was totally planning on bringing it but I had forgotten XD!

Cool! Yeah WW is cool! It's much more of a buying con so it's not as fun for me usually because I don't have money most of the time, lol, but it is a cool place! and this will be my first year at Youma-Con so I'll tell you how I like it! ^_^ Pity you can't make it though, that'd be great.

And ACEN is always great! Can't wait to see you there again too! ^_^

Oh and the picture? Wonderful, I just want to see it someday! ^_^
