Karakuri Babble is a daily column by the editors of i360.com, usually on topics tangentially related to anime and cosplay.

In the past we have endorsed many things; in the future we shall support many others.

Been going slightly crazy working on the production of physical objects. It's so different from what we normally do! Lately, I've been trying to make armbands for Anime Expo, modeled after Aya Shameimaru's.

I figure it's a good joke, some subtle cosplay, and official-looking enough to make us look a little more credible (haha). But, you know, this is a totally different medium from what I'm used to, and it's taking me an ungodly amount of time to re-derive the entire lore of applying designs to fabric from tutorials found on the internet. Hence the lack of updates. I apologize, but not in any way that involves changing my behavior. So I guess I am unrepentant?

Still, though, my vinyl came in today, and I expect to have completed armbands this weekend. So that's what I've been working on.
