and the other ring i made together for kuroshitsuji was the sakujun one. (tore out the flowery ring base for undertaker but not for this) it's purple pink crystal in the middle and the sides are hotglued patterns so it looks like it has 2 overlaps. it's spray painted gold.

following that i started on my sakujun.
making it according to the novel version is a pain because there's so many flowery embroidery details. i hate working with my golden thread cos it snaps so easily but i like embroidery.

anyways i did the embroidery parts first (sleeves tip)


then the sleeves head embroidery


had to sew yellow backing for it so it doesn't look too messy from the back xp


then i attach the tip detail to the sleeves


and the sleeves head to the blue top i made




and i attached the sleeves to some yellow shirt i bought off the auctions very very long ago and sewed the collar on.


here's the embroidery for the front panel


and then it's attached to the top


i actually unsewed that front panel and resewed it THRICE because the first time it was resewed i couldn't get it through my head (-_-`) then the second time those add-ons at the side bothered me a lot and i had to put a backing to the panel before resewing it again. does the final piece look different?


with the added jewels



and the inside of the collar


and finally my skirt

zip on the back


and i made the loincloth last (whatever you call it, that long piece in front of the skirt)

following yasuaki is sakujun from saiunkoku monogatari. will be doing the novel version though! there's already 1 japanese who has done it so i'm more or less going to take her as an example since there ain't a lot of pictures on sakujun of the novel version.
