Wonderflex, Y U SO EXPENSIVE?!

So I discovered a nifty product called Wonderflex. It's a thermoplastic material that you can bend and morph into any shape with the help of a heat gun. It is also fairly light weight and you can make some pretty cool shit out of it like armor. It also is able to bond to leather, wood and fabric. Here is a great example of what you can do with Wonderflex:

   
Armor and all work made by Kamui
 
So I decided that once I got my paycheck, I would buy some so I could make some bad ass stuff. However, I did not realize how much this shit costs...It's absolutely ridiculous! As far as I know, there are only 2 US sites that sell Wonderflex. One is cheaper than the other, but their sheets are also smaller. Cosplay Supplies is the site that offers the cheaper/smooth Wonderflex whereas Dazian sells the more expensive, but larger sheets.

At the moment, I am in a conundrum...Should I spend a little more to get the bigger sheets or save money and buy the smaller ones? As I said before, I don't really know what I'd make, but I do know that I want to make something. 

On a completely out of nowhere side note, I am suddenly able to draw again! I've drawn 5 pictures already since last night and I'm mostly proud of them. And on another random thought, I now own a mountain bike! It was $25 at Goodwill and I need to replace the back tire. That is something I can handle quite easily. Everything else appears to be in working condition on the bike, so I'm a happy camper!

Until the next time I am able to update, bye-bye~!

Behold! My Tonberry King. :D

There Are Some Things You Should Know About Me

About The Blog
  1. If you did not catch on, I am a dork, geek and complete nerd. This blog will be about my obsessions and interests that fit into those 3 categories. Don't like it? Then move along, there's nothing to see here!
  2. I have a social life (amazingly) so it's hard to say if there will be definite updates on set days. All entries will come and go as I see fit depending on what's happening in my life at the time.
About Me
  1. I love to learn, and I especially love random facts! Tell me something awesome and I'll adore you forever!
  2. At the moment, I only play one MMO and that is Guild Wars. No, I do not do WoW. I prefer to keep my soul and social life. Want to team up on GW? Look for me on there as Lizzie Warden !
  3. I love the Japanese culture, which means I love anime, mangas, cosplay and of course anything and everything asian! But I promise you I am not a weeabo -shudder-
  4. I'm not as big a gamer as I used to be, but I did recently buy Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for the PS2. I can't wait to start playing it!!
  5. I really want to play the Assassin's Creed games...badly!
  6. I spend a lot of time on Reddit, mainly in the f7u12 section.
  7. I love fashion and will occasionally modify my own clothes should inspiration strike.
  8. I try to collect action figures and memorabilia. I have a really small collection, but it will hopefully grow one of these days!
  9. Systems I own: PS2, PSP and NDSLite. I crave the newer systems!! D:
  10. I've been getting into Otome and VN games. They are strangely addicting and I have a hard time stopping when I play.
  11. I do read fanfiction. I enjoy a good story, especially smutty ones.
Okay, that is enough information for now. I don't want to overload anyone that stumbles upon this and decides to stick around and read it all. 

I leave you with a gif from one of my all time favorite animes, Wolf's Rain. Until next time, bye-bye!
