 | 01:56 am - Loudred hoodie mod
So I'm currently planning on making a loudred hoodie, using actual speakers as the ears.
Heres a pic. of Loudred to give you an idea;
The speakers im using are going to be those of a torn apart and reupholstered iPals(see below)
The hood itself is going to be the bulk of the work. The persons head will be situated in Loudred's mouth, and Ill sew yellow fabric around the rim of a thick wire supported hood (for the lips), to get it to keep that square shape.
NOW,
the issue at hand;
I need the speakers not to be all wobbly on the hood, while still being able to maintain the shape.
There will already be a second layer sewn in along the inside of the hood, to run the wire, i thought maybe there was some kind of materiel i could set in there as well?
Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello all. I'm new to Live Journal though I have been keeping my eye on this community and other hair communities. I have read every post and seen every picture on this community, by the way. It's nice to see so many people with pink hair! (Scroll to the bold if you'd rather read the actual question/problem than my blabbing.) ( Click to read the problem and see the pics! )

 | 10:28 pm - Kevin Smith Panel tips
As an Askewniverse devotee the Kevin Smith Panel is at the top of my list. Has anyone been? Does anyone have any tips? For example, how early do you need to get there to actually have a snowballs chance in hell to ask Kev a question? How early for a good seat? Any and all tips are deeply appreciated.

 | 10:05 pm - Felting dreads?
I have very new dreads but decided that I wanted to felt some wool on a few various dreads. I did this with just wrapping the wool roving around the dread instead of using the felting needle. I just used very warm, slightly soapy water on the roving fiber. It has stayed for over a week without any issues. Has anyone else tried this method with success? I figured it would be much easier to remove if it starts stinking or rotting.
My husband doesn't appreciate the dreads. He is a fan of the bright colors of the fake dreads. I really do enjoy the colors, well.

 | 08:20 pm - Baron Cosplay [WIP]
A while back I got the bright idea to cosplay as Baron Humbert von Gikkingen from The Cat Returns.
Currently I'm working on constructing his head and wondering where to get the right type/color fur. I'm thinking the beige from DF would be good for his lighter face markings, but I'm at a loss for his darker fur. If anyone has a suggestion, please say so.
I don't need much fur at all--just enough for the head and tail.

 | 09:45 pm - A new cooling idea
First time poster!
I just saw this linked on the excellent LifeHacker website; how to make a cooling scarf!
http://thesmallobject.com/stenopad/wordpress/?p=2509
Basically it's just sewing a few of those water-retaining crystals used in potted plants into a pouch, and leaving it to soak up water for a few hours. Take it out later and put it on. The crystals won't drip, but they will dry out slowly, loosing heat along with the moisture.
It's use in full fursuits might be limited, since it requires airflow to evaporate properly, but might be very useful in keeping folk in partial suits cool? Or just day to day, otherwise.
Hope it helps!

 | 01:11 pm - 5yr Dreadlock Timeline!
Heyy, I'm Laura. Long time member, first time poster. I just celebrated my dreads 5th birthday in June. They've certainly come a long way. I decided to celebrate by compiling a picture timeline.
They were started by Alin (http://www.dollylocks.com/) of Hair Police in NYC. ("dread perm")
The lovely and talented ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) simply was my wonderful friend and crochet maintainer in Massachusetts for years before I recently relocated across the country.
I am currently representing dreadheads in academia in the beautiful state of Oregon!
Can anyone recommend someone for crochet style dread maintenance in or around the Portland/Eugene, OR areas?? (the darlings are getting a bit messy, especially since the pool opened)
Anyhow, enough language. Onto the pics !!

 | 02:53 pm - Banana or Cylinder
So I've been experimenting... I'm not sure which one is better (in terms of shape, not looks)banana bag or cylinder bag
...maybe both??...btw, just as a heads up, the quality of the image for the banana bag sucks. Flash ruins a lot of things for me... *SIGH* v___v 
( ....I don't like you flash! No I don't!! No no no.... :( )
...fyi, this is a fake cut to my lj. I figured if I'm posting to multiple communities, it's easier to link everything to one post. ^--^

 | 12:44 pm - Another "How Much Do I Need" Post
Yeah I know these are vague and annoying, but I'd like an idea of how much of each color to get for this costume. Full suit; I'm 5'6 and a size 12 (American sizing). I'm thinking 3 yards for white and 1.5 for the black and orange? More? Less?

 | 01:15 pm - Better care for loooong piles of fur
So I've had this one fursuit for a while that hasn't been worn as often lately. Why? It has a fairly long pile of fur and even after endless amounts of brushing, the fur gets very poofy. I'm looking for a way to keep the fur a little more under control now. Less static build up, less standing up and poofiness in general. Any suggestions?
