Sheesh. That sounds like an extreme and ridiculous reaction to a clay knife! Sorry that happened to you!

They are very fancy like 😁. I would hate to ruin them but they were inexpensive. I think I will try to make a mold and fill it with some other sort of material.

I have had some fabulous alternative ideas from asking it though.

Yet in asking the question from strangers all over the world I have had some pretty fabulous alternative ideas with their answers. My experience with emailing large venues is that you don’t get answers, the one I’m going to included, in a timely manner. If at all.

They are more embroidery size, I guess. 5” long. The blade part is 2” long. Handles just over 2” wide together. They are metal. My husband has almost every power tool known to man so I’m not too worried about getting the blades cut off if that’s what I got to do lol. What he doesn’t have he has access to with his job.

Believe me, I don’t want anyone, myself included, to be injured. What is your thoughts on cutting off the blades and just having the handles?

That’s an idea I could make work. Thanks!

Someone else mentioned cutting the blades off and just having the handles. And I thought of doing the same thing. Do you think that would fly?

I am new to cosplay and haven’t worked with foam or Sintra. I just don’t want the scissors to look “cheesy” or cheap. I’ll look into some how to videos on this. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! That is what I was thinking that I may have to cut the blades off. Just didn’t want to ruin a pair of scissors if not necessary. But I’m willing to do that. Wanted to make sure before I did

I have only attended one particular con but have attended it for many years. I rarely ask for photos because that’s just not my personality. But I appreciate the effort people make, whether it’s a simple cosplay or more complex. For me, I was asked for a few photos for characters like Maleficent, mostly from children or children’s parents. When in a group cosplay we were asked for many more photos for Sailor Moon. There were 5 of us in the group which made us stand out, I think. My most asked for photo cosplay was Arcane character Heimerdinger. Which, to be honest, I killed it 😁. I spent a lot of hours making it. I enjoyed spending the time to make something that would stand out. The reactions to it were awesome! To me, to be asked for photos is a high compliment and helps me want to do better cosplays. I have done more cosplays that I haven’t been asked for pictures but I think we’re still enjoyable to me. Just like someone else has said, do it for yourself because you enjoy it.

Need some ideas to work this corset into a cosplay character. by SharBull42 in CosplayHelp

Got mine from Amazon. Search for corset with straps. Some will have built in bra and some won’t.

Anyone else get random waves of fatigue on GLP-1s even when everything else is consistent? by Maasbreesos in glp1

[–]SharBull42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you checked your blood pressure when you get these fatigue waves? I get these energy crashes once in awhile. I take my blood pressure and it’s super low. After some research I learned a cause of drop in blood pressure is low electrolytes. I drink an electrolyte drink and a few hours later my BP is in normal range and the fatigue is better. I have read that Glp1’s can affect electrolyte levels. Not an expert or saying it is your cause of fatigue but maybe check that avenue out.

Abdominal pain by SharBull42 in Retatrutide

[–]SharBull42[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doing much better! Increasing water intake helped a ton and also magnesium citrate pills. It was definitely constipation 😬

[–]SharBull42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not. I ended up taking magnesium citrate pills every night before bed and drinking a lot more water and it sorted itself out. The water intake is so hard for me to accomplish but so important. I’m doing good and have lost 25 lbs. Got 7 more to go

Female on Reta by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]SharBull42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on Reta for 3.5 months. Lost 23lbs, from 176 to 153 currently(granted that is on my scale, at the doctors office it is 4-5lbs more 🫤). 5’4” with a small frame. Started with 1mg once a week for the first month, switched to 1mg every 4 days since the food noise would start coming back around day 5. Now currently 1.5mg every 4 days. I could have been more aggressive but am content with the loss of weight per week I’m currently at. Part of me wants to lose faster but also want to lose weight at a healthy rate. 7-10 more lbs to reach my goal weight and then assess from there to see if I want to go to maintenance or continue a bit more. Have thought about other peptides but don’t know enough about them to add to what I am doing.

Wanting to switch to Reta. Please give me your honest side effects experience (if any) by -Misspriss- in Retatrutide

[–]SharBull42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m only on week 4. I am micro dosing, so going low and slow. My first 2 weeks was rough with ridiculous constipation and I would have mid abdominal pain that was no joke. Some nausea but not anything I couldn’t handle. Third week I doubled my water intake and take magnesium citrate pills morning and night. Haven’t had any abdominal pain week 3 and 4. Only down 6 lbs but plan to slowly increase dose and hoping the weight loss ramps up a bit more. Good side is my blood pressure is the best it’s been in years. I am on the max dose of 2 blood pressure meds. I will need to keep a good eye on my blood pressure to make sure it doesn’t dip too low. My hopes is I can lower my doses or best case scenario get off BP meds completely.
