Yuuko Ichihara - Foxy Lady #8

paper templates on PVC sheet 
 
I had the ear templates printed, cut them on the outlines, and glued them to the PVC sheet. Every time I went to buy a PVC sheet (or sintra), the only colour available was grey. This time there was only black. It's really not important, but going to paint them gold, It's an advantage. I wanted to glue them with glue stick, but since Anisama, I don't know where I put it. So I hlued it with UHU glue.

cut the outlines with a box cutter
and started cutting the blank areas

Then I cut the outlines with a box cutter, and started cutting the blank areas. I have to do this in small bits, or else my hand will start to hurt, so I'll keep cutting a bit every evening.

I also got a new gold paint, by Pébèo, and tested it. It matches the shoes.

+ this is a cheap and simple way to make the ears...

- ...but my hand starts to hurt after a while, so I can't cut it in one go.

THE CUNNING PLAN 

Keep cutting the blank areas, bit by bit. Make the cane/sceptre template on the computer and make the ruby mock up in cardboard.
