Welcome to the blog! It's slowly being updated. I'm pretty lazy after traveling almost 20,000 miles this summer.

Finished Monoblos Armor

WELLLL.  No more progress photos, but here's the finished (and now retired after only one convention) armor.

The convention overall was pretty amazing from the previous year.  Much more events and people, though not overwhelming like Fanime.  To watch a full review/thoughts/recap of my convention experience, check out my YouTube link on the sidebar.

Paper Mache Clay Tutorial (WIP)

While there's so many tutorials online to make this, I figured I might as well post my own.  It's a WIP for now, as this is my first version of the recipe.
I'm not sure how the clay in other tutorials turns out, but this hardens into an extremely strong shell.

Items needed
Some type of paper
3 or more bowls (just for ease, not really needed.)
Pasta/or something strainer
Elmer's (or some type) of safe, non-toxic glue. (you'll use a good amount of this.)
Flour (only a little bit)
Salt (a small amount, like a tablespoon, just to prevent mold from growing.)
Gloves (not really needed, but really helpful.)

The creation of the clay/paste will take about an hour, depending on how much you have.  Applying it will take probably another hour, again depending on how much you have.  Left out on a hot, sunny, non-humid day will take about 7 hours to dry.

This will get stuff messy, so be prepared to clean up the mess.  Pictures of the mess below might be a bit gross too, so sorry.  D:

Now for the tutorial, hope this can help someone!
