Updates

My set of Skyrim daggers will for the time being be put on hold. I am planning to make a new katana for a tutorial video instead. So! I need help deciding on my next project this summer!

None of my upcoming cosplay ideas involve swords of any kind, so the design I make will just be for fun (and the tutorial). I’ve narrowed it down to:

Tenseiga (a long-standing wish of mine)

Senbonzakura (the sword of my fourth favorite Bleach character)

Tanjiro’s Nichirin Blade

Pantera (the sword of my favorite Bleach character...but I do own this sword in a live steel version)

OR do any of you have any ideas? I am not looking to make a straight-blade sword. The last three swords I’ve made were straight-blade and I miss making katana. Also, because katana swords are easier to make for beginners, I want to stick with that. Which means, as much as I want to make Sokka’s meteorite jian, or Sesshoumaru’s Tokijin, or half a dozen other awesome swords, I want specifically a katana-style.

Plus, it will give a great chance to relearn tsuka-maki!

Thanks!

I have a new DeviantArt account! Some conventions won't allow Tumblr as a means to use for a portfolio when submitting Artist Alley applications, so I had to set up a DA.

Bonjour les gars! I have added my most recent commission to the pages on the left side of the screen. Bon visionnage et merci!

[dynamicprops]

These swords are absolutely gorgeous. The pictures do them no justice to be honest (and those pics are impressive). I am beyond satisfied with this commission. It's the second time I've used Dynamic Props and I will be using her services again.

I just received and accepted my second paid commission! My first customer was so pleased and happy with the Tarkhatan sword I made for him, he ordered this pair from me as well!

I’m so excited, I can’t wait to start working on this one! A little worried about the hilt piece, it’s not a perfect square so it will be a little awkward to make out of wood...

Hello. So, I got the blade in today (a day early) and I am so happy with the outcome. The sword is absolutely gorgeous and a piece that I will be talking about for years. As I said before, I am so glad I did my research and found you. Your craftsmanship and professionalism are top notch and I thank you so much again. I think you really should list this item. There are people like myself that would definitely buy it. And the fact that the sword is so damn awesome alone warrants a listing :) I will have pics to add to my review when Etsy allows me to review it. It will definitely be getting 5 stars. Once again, thank you so much. It's been an absolute pleasure doing business with you. And I will be coming back for another piece from you. Until then, take care! :D

Late night deadline skirting

Okay so it's not really "late night" but it feels like it to me. I typically am in bed and asleep around 10:30pm because I work early every morning. Thursday is my late night at work, so I don't go in till 11am, which means Wednesday night is my "I get to stay up later than usual" night....which further means propmaking night! I literally only have two tiny bits of material to put together and a few stitches to sew and I. Am. Done. With almost four weeks to go before my hard deadline. Yea, to me this is skirting a deadline. I don't like to keep my customers waiting longer than necessary. I asked for twelve weeks (six to ten is my general range) to complete due to the complexity, but it seems I'm still inside my average time. Yay me now if only this devil fabric glue would hurry and dry so I can attach the final pieces and sew the final stitches.... Ugh. Vinyl.

I recently received a request to replicate this really..... r - amazing prop. Yea I kind of lost it it on the alliteration. Ah well, what was I saying? I'm not sure quite how to go about making the umbrella portion of the sheath...I hate to turn down a commission but how do I make a working umbrella sheath without blowing up my supply and time budget? I'd appreciate any other propmakers' tips or advice on this :)

[dynamicprops]

Hello everyone! I wanted to update everyone and let you know that my Tarkatan Blade commission now has its own page! SO while I’ll be updating directly to Tumblr, I’ll also be updating the page itself :) You can see a link to the page on the left side of my Tumblr where all my other prop pages are!
