Kraehe cosplay queries (shyyyy)

[brokenxskies.livejournal.com]

Hey all! Thank you for the wonderful welcomes the other day!

I've never tried cosplay before (I'll admit, I always admired cosplayers however thought I was too cool for it ^^:;) but one of my friends has 75% convinced me to give it a go. I still haven't persuaded her to watch PT but I'm getting there :)

Anyhow, I was thinking of trying out Princess Kraehe, and went through the archives back to 2007 but couldn't find what I needed, so I have come to seek your help and experience, oh wise ones!

( questions for the wise )

Thank you for taking the time to read through my queries, and muffins to those that can help me! If I end up making this and become brave enough to go through with it on the day, then I'll put some photos up :)

EDIT: Below is an image of what I've done so far. The tulle doesn't stay...horizontal so it won't last if I add the second layer of material on top :( I think I may go with astrobright68's idea of using some kind of board...however foam board is so so expensive where I live. I entertained the idea of using garden canes to try and support the tutu but then I came into the problem of what would keep the canes up. Ah, I'm rambling...

Long Ago, In a Kinkan Town Far, Far Away~...

...Yeah. Tory did another trailer to Tutu, and it was to Star Wars: more specifically, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I did this as a second entry to nuitsongeur 's AMV contest as well as to just do a trailer again, since I haven't done one since my Prince of Persia Tutu trailer back in January. The Star Wars series is the only science fiction anything that I love with all of my heart, and it was fun to do this, even if Phantom Menace is not as dear to me as the original trilogy. Still, the trailers I made this out of (I edited two of them together since only one showed Anakin and the other had better dialogue for the other characters and a better finale) had great audio tracks that were awesome to put together with Princess Tutu, even if the sound effects at times were tricky to match. I hope you enjoy~! ♥

Edit:

Sorry i kept you all waiting but it was 1am here and i was really sleepy XD

thanks to tomoyoichijouji for the scans :D




this one was best to work with for me I'm still not sure about some words but i guess i can tell what it's about

what i can read is:

"Neulich war es auf dem Land! Es war [Armer]* das Kücken** gelb,den/der Nafen*** grün Das**** nur auf der***** grünen[...]

in the next line the last word is (i think ) zusammengetragen which means carried together... yeah makes no sense

and further down i can see the word Bauer which means farmer



*it looks like it's written with a capital at the beginning although this is wrong; i also have sometimes problems what i'm supposed to write with capital letters XD

**I'm not completely sure if it says Kücken( could also be kuecken maybe) but it makes the most sense to me in the context

*** that 's what i read there but that's not a word, not a german one at least, maybe it's supposed to be naßen/nassen

**** and again with capital. maybe a new sentence starts here but i can't see a dot( or period? don't know what to call it in english)

***** here it actually looks like fer but that's no german word either, so i thought maybe they made a mistake here

so a rough translation would be:
Recently on the countryside! There was a poor yellow chick on the wet(not sure about this word) green that only on the green[...]

yeah that's all i can tell XD sorry
i might ask some friends if they can tell more from the scans :)

Edit2: I've been beaten XD

I'm pretty good at deciphering barely-legible handwriting, and I think the letter that looks like a capital N is actually an H. This would give us the opening:
"Herrlich war es auf dem Land! Es war Sommer. Das Korn stand gelb, der Hafer grün. Das Heu auf..." something something.
That is:
"It was lovely in the countryside! It was summer. The grain stood yellow, the oat green. The hay of..." etcetera.
The word before "zusammengetragen" looks like "Haufen" (pile), which seems to make sense in context. I'm neither German nor a farmer, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

so yeah, this makes a lot more sense XD

Edit3:last one i swear XD

I found out that this is actually the beginning of "the ugly Duckling"

just struck me that it could be it and i checked my book yesterday in bed
although it differs a little( for example in my book it starts with "Es war so herrlich draußen auf dem Lande" ) but i guess it's still the same

makes we wonder why i didn't think of it before -___-'
