Lockdown and Teddy Bear Cosplay Update

Hello everybody!  I am sad to report that the lockdown, which went into effect at Level 3 on May 15 or so, has been extended all the way to June 28 which means I will be unable to attend the second half of the Cardcaptor Sakura exhibit!  Though they do offer ticket refunds, you need to turn in the Thank You card and if you attended the first exhibit, you get half the money back.  There's no way I'm turning in the Thank You card or my ticket holder, so I'm just going to hope the exhibit gets extended!!

I had been working on the new wig for my teddy bear's cosplay, however, so have some progress photos!

It's tedious, repetitive work, but I like the effect!  The "hair" is actually yarn that I tie to the bun cover and then untwist and straighten.

The natural curliness of the yarn does also give some volume, so it's best not to make the back of the wig too thick with too many locks of yarn (my mistake from the first wig) otherwise it becomes very difficult to trim it to look flattering.

For now, I am making a bob-length wig which I will then straighten and trim into the more layered pixie/bob cut that Clear Card art Sakura has!  The hair near the top is made of yarn that I unwind before I tie it on so it looks finer.  I will be looking up some hair-cutting tutorials to see how to get the correct shape for her pixie-style cut!

If the exhibit ends up not being extended, I will find somewhere else to set up a photoshoot with her new wig.  For now, her CureCos account has older cosplay photos!
