lets see... ~sakana and me were debating much earlier if we should just stick to photoshopping or doing out an actual eye. I was kinda thinking BRS w/o an eye AT EVENT is kinda disappointing... though i have totally no idea how to kick off too.

at 1st i conceptualise it as more like a ball of fire, with a more sphere-like item in mind... and walked around my neighbourhood stores for inspiration till i get a semisphere hair accessory as the base. With reference to illustrations, i roughly cut various layers of flames to stick into the sphere. Material wise i hope for a transclucent look so i got blue clear folders and did layering. Then the problem... SIZE. The shape is pretty cool we think, but the size is too big. And that type only has that size or bigger. We tried to cut it but it was too hard and we ended up breaking a few items anyway.

So i looked again and tested with 2 other types of other shapes and sizes... i even tried using gashapon cover or duplicate a semisphere of smaller size by eproxy. ..all failed T.T It's a heart attack when we ALL agree the flames on the 1st prototype looks best Q.Q

then i stopped and get busy for Cendrillon shoot. After which i destroyed all the previous prototypes, emptied my brain and look into the figurine images instead. I played around with hard paper to make another prototype then apply it to the plastic sheets. It seem to work, but too transparent. So ~sakana bought me another slightly opaque plastic sheet and i try again... ok it didn't too bad.

Then comes the horror of HOW TO PUT ON?! Tape, fishline, elastic band... ok fishline + velcro seems to work in the morning. But it failed when we put on after all the makeup and wig. Then comes hairpins... somehow it managed to stay.

and unexpectedly the material captures light sometimes which made it look like a glow. It came as a surprise really

ok i'm tired. i need to sleep.
