I swear, if there is one thing that's been grinding my gears, it's cosplay wig bangs.

Snow Villiers? No problem with his bandana to keep his hair in place.

Noel Kreiss....okay, now were getting a little too exact. I tend to be a picky with how things look on my cosplay, and sometimes there are things I can't help. But those bangs...on Noel's hair...are annoying. I thought it was simple, and overtime as I snipped little by little, I began to realize that his bangs are all placed a certain way and snipped to a certain point.

The center bang is long at the middle, enough to reach between the eyes while the sides of that particular bang are shorter. Though, at different angles, it actually seems like there's two bangs rather than one center one similar to Snow Villiers. One that's just long and the other short (the short one located furthest away where his hair parts)

...Now we get on to the layers of his bangs. One that goes over his left eye brow slightly and is overlapping the center bang. That is where I'm stuck because it seems as long as his center bangs, but on my wig...it isn't the same so I have to compensate by cutting a little shorter...though, it's just hard to get those spikes. His bangs are spiky...edgey, sharp, however you want to put it. It's really tough to SNIP those SHARP bangs and I know it won't turn out exactly the way I want it, but come on...at least close right?

After the bangs comes the front of his hair to the left being swept to the left. These normal would be bangs had they not been curved so strongly to where it's almost apart of his normal hair and could easily go unnoticed, but it's what makes Noel unique in a way that without it, it wouldn't seem right. The correct angle matters.

Sorry, I'm just ranting and complaining, I know...but who wouldn't!? It's stressful! I can't mess this up! I just can't! I had a wig I was practicing on before but, who knows what happened to that, stupid me.

If anyone could give me a tip or two though, it would be so much appreciated. I need those sharp bangs snipped the right way. I've looked at cosplay wig tutorials to cut upwards and stuff but I'm getting a little scared that things might not turn out well you know?

Hey guys, I recently just started a wandmaking business.
Business starts on Friday, and here's a description of 
everything on my Tumblr page.

Hello everyone! I'm currently thinking about selling my entire printed cotton fabric collection, as I no longer have a use for it (explanation will follow in early July for this :)) would anyone be interested? I'm not sure if selling it as a whole or just selling certain parts would be the better option , but if anyone is interested in it as a whole, I'm looking for around £200 not including postage. There's the majority of the cottons I used for the Guardians and had in my latest inventory, save for one or two which have run out as they were only fat quarters. There's just over 100 different prints in my collection, which is all worth around £800-£900 in total.

If anyone is interested, please send me a note :heart:
