So I'm sitting around doing pretty much nothing today (one of my days off ) when it occurs to me, I could use a new cosplay outfit...

...and I promptly put that thought aside and went about being lazy.

Later on, I start thinking again, and realize that I could easily use some wire and strings to make a fully functional tail for a cosplay, controlled by my fingers. That got me thinking, I never did get around to making my Gaia Online avi cosplay.

Long story short, I've drawn out some rough sketches of the wire/string assembly that will go under the cloth. When constructed, I will be able to manipulate my tail and ears using strings attached to rings on the fingers and thumb on my right hand. Both hands will be concealed by paw-shaped gloves, so it should be just about the coolest thing I've ever built!

I've put up some photos of the sketches, if anyone is interested. They are located in my scrapbook, because I'm too lazy to flip through all the categories to find the proper one...

Now you may ask yourself, "Why is he posting a journal entry here, telling all of the workings of this project to anyone who reads this? Why doesn't he just complete his little project and post the finished product instead?"

To that I reply: I'm lazy. If I don't post it here, and no one shows any interest/encouragement in it, I may well lose interest, and this magnificent idea will be lost in the chaos that is my thought process.

So feel free to let me know what you think about this little project of mine!
