Now you know how I love seeing artistic creativity, especially when it’s original work, and especially when it’s budget-friendly. This is fabric creativity, not paper, but it’s right up my alley all the same. <\/p>\n

The artist is Kankywompous<\/b> – see her work here<\/b><\/a>. Her project – that reminds me of Project Runway – was to create a Japanese kimono outfit (kimono, obi and haori) for a small contest on the following Saturday. To find the fabrics, do the cutting and sewing of all the pieces from Wednesday to Friday (night) – and oh yeah, there was a “real” job during that time too – I’m applauding! <\/p>\n

And check out the result! <\/p>\n

\"Shoshuro<\/a> and \"Shoshuro<\/a> <\/p>\n

And they won first place! The artist mentioned, “I started cutting and sewing about 11am Wed and stopped at about 10pm that night with both the Kimono and Obi finished at that point.<\/p>\n

The Haori I had less time to work with, as I had work in the morning, so after I got back on Thurs, I started the cutting and sewing of the jacket. The Haori is lined with the same print as the outer layer, but in a brighter color to add a nice pop.<\/p>\n

At the event, which is part of a two day CCG Event for Legend of the Five rings, it placed 1st in the costume contest (out of four placings).”<\/p>\n

You have to admire that kind of creative rush (and can I add, I absolutely love<\/u> that lining!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
