One Plus One Creatives

Its the same era as my AV-1, as you can see here.

The Strap for the Rebel is more functional and lighter, but I don't like it.. too bad this doesn't fit! But I had an idea 8)

I got some Pilobond for another project I did, I'm glad I had it, as its just what I needed. Flexible yet strong.

I Channeled Adam Savage here and masked masked MASKED

I didn't think this part through.. but it was fine 8) Just sat for a bit and thought about my next steps.

I didn't think well enough though, as this was my second attempt. The first time I just glued loops, before trying to lace them in the eyeholes!

The next day I peeled off the tape and was not surprised at the result. But the visible glue isn't going to be a problem

I wanted to be sure the added straps would hold fast. so I spent some time sewing them to the best of my ability. This was fun, I didn't know what I was doing.. but that's okay. I realized that the end of the string needed both stop and stay somewhere, so grabbed some superglue!

I looked my paints and pens, and scored with this Gunpla marker, this was PERFECT, check that out! Inside that pen, is a thin, semitranslucent paint, so it soaked into the shoelace instead of laying on top of the fabric, and intereacted with the microscopic (I think that's what happening anyway) airbubles in the dried glue in a very satisfyingly-invisible way.

Not too Shabby

Yeah this was great! I'm glad I got to do some new things with this little project. It took about 4 hours all told.
