Great thanks to personnel of this beautiful place for their patience to crazy cosplayers.

There is some interesting story about making Yuuko’s kimono.
As you can see there is white pattern on a red fabric – it was made using thermo transfer technique. It is very simple and interesting method of transferring images and patterns on different types of fabric.
But at first I tried to apply this pattern in a way familiar for me - draw directly on fabric with white acrylic paint. By this method I use for a long time, use it in making many costumes such as this and this.
Unfortunately I was disappointed The fabric from which we made kimono has waterproof effect! And of course you can imagine what was the outcome - the paint just rolled right on the fabric in the small white balls
At first I was very upset and thought that we will have to sew kimono again, but then an interesting idea came to my mind - to use the technique of thermo-transfer.
As you can see I cope with this, the technique is very simple to use, the material for it (special thermal transfer film) you can buy from companies that make printing on t-shirts, mugs, etc.). in Internet I found a lot of information and useful recomendations.
In addition, I also learned about thermal transfer paper - this is such a special paper on which can print on regular printer any image (in mirroring) and then tranfer onto the fabric using the electric iron! I think, all cosplayers immediately realized how many can be implemented with it!

Отдельное спасибо персоналу этого замечательного заведения за терпение проявленое к сумасшедшим косплеерам.

Есть одна интересная история о том, как я делала кимоно Юко.
Как видите, на красной ткани есть белый узор – он нанесен с помощью техники термотрнсферного переноса. Это очень простой и интересный метод перенесения картинок и узоров на разные виды ткани.
Вначале я пыталась нанести этот узор привычным для меня способом - нарисовать прямо на ткани белой акриловой краской. Этим методом я пользуюсь уже давно, применяла его при изготовлении многих костюмов, например этого и этого.
К сожалению меня ждало разочарование Ткань, из которой мы пошили кимоно, оказалась с водооталкивающим еффектом! И конечно Вы можете себе представить какой был результат - краска просто скатывалась прямо на ткани в маленькие белые шарики.
Сразу я очень расстроилась и подумала, что кимоно продеться шить заново, но потом мне в голову пришла интересная идея - использовать технику термотрансферного переноса.
Как видите у меня все получилось, техника очень простая в применении, материал для нее (специальная термотрансферная пленка) можно купить в компаниях, которые занимаются печатью на футболках, чашках и тд.)., а в интернете я нашла много информации и полезных рекомендаций.
Кроме того я узнала также о термотрансферной бумаге - это такая специальная бумага, на которой Вы можете напечатать на обычном принтере любое изображение (в зеркальном отображении) а потом с помощью утюга перенести на ткань! Думаю, все косплееры сразу поняли, сколько всего можно воплотить в жизнь с ее помощью!
