I have started adjusting Sayaka's hair in preparation for printing it.
The Edmonton Cosplayers Facebook group had a Christmas party on December 13. I did kig there for a bit but there was only one picture taken of me that I could find. Some people did go outside for a photoshoot but they split up as soon as they actually got outside, and I lost track of them. I didn't want to be wandering around outside in kig without a spotter so I headed back inside.
I created an account on Twitter recently. Japanese kigs seem to be most active there, and a few Western kigs are only on Twitter and not Facebook, so I decided to join there as well.
I am planning to start selling masks on eBay soon. At least to begin with I am only going to sell generics there. I have to tweak the Erika model first though (the jawline is a bit too low near the temples - I made this mistake on several of my masks; also, the wall thickness should be made thinner because I'm fiberglassing my masks now). I am also planning to start making cast masks soon (these will be made using printed masks as patterns; the next order I get for an Erika shell mask, I am going to make a mold from her). For generics this will be the way I make them most of the time (should be less work than re-printing every time); for customs this will be an extra-cost option (since I will have to make a printed mask first to use as a pattern).
Also, January 12 is my 2 year kig anniversary (I'd been working on the original version of Erika before that, but that is when I wore her for the first time). I've definitely improved quite a bit since I started (although there are places where I can still improve).
