The skin, hand claws, feathers and paint are pretty much all that's left to do. And some more jaw help, but I'm not feeling enthusiastic about that. I need a pulley or something.
The fabric is pretty much all cut. I've sewn the body and legs together, with zippers and velcro. No pictures at this time because I am lazy and it would kind of just look like a sewn together mess. I wanted to attach the gloves and claws to the rest of the body skin, but it just occurred to me that the claws might not be a good idea in the washer/dryer. Hmm. Maybe even more velcro is in order.
My dad said I should enter the Santa Barbara Summer solstice parade with it, but I don't know if I could wear this thing for a whole parade route. He also said I should hang out onstage with he and his band at the same event, apparently as a novelty. They play oldies, which only vaguely relate to dinosaurs. The solstice theme is "Jungle," though, so who knows. I tried to tell him that it might be a bad idea to have me onstage with expensive music equipment, since I am liable to knock things over with my tail possibly. He did not seem to understand my concern, and said the stage was decently large. Additionally, he probably doesn't understand that I can't dance, much less in a dinosaur suit.
O hay guise. I has claws nao. And arms attached to the main body, and velcro on the arms for wingyness. I am currently in the process of drawing stripes on with permanent markers. I probably should have gotten a Fabricmate dye pen, but they were like $4, and sharpies were $1. I did some quick math and the sharpies won. Still need to do everything with feathers, and sew up the chest and stuff. And get a real life and job. Oh wait.
Water bottle grabbing action!
