The biggest problem with the gushoushin pattern was the hat. I thought, the first pattern was too big and was sure that I would have to sew the hat again. I had to. But not because it was to big - it was to small. *drop* I was really lucky to have so much of that beautiful blue material. ^__^ Thank you, Yoko-chan!
I had originally planned to finish the gushou before the AnimagiC 2004. But unfortunately, I had so much school work during the last days of the school year that I didn't have a free minute I could use for sewing. In the evening bevore the AnimagiC I sewed until I became too tired... Then I remembered something Yu-chan had said (as a joke?): "When you don't have enough time to finish, make him two cross eyes, then we can take him with us as a dead Hisoka." Well, anyway that's better then leaving him at home after all the work. ^.^; So Tsuzuki didn't have a gushou at the AnimagiC, but Muraki was happy about a dead Hisoka he could carry along with him at a belt that was tied around Hisoka's neck. ^^;; (Gomen to all the Hisoka fans, but we are big fans of Mura. *sways a "Mura♥"-flag*) Anyway, this Hisoka was later even profitable at the cosplay contest, so it has been a good idea to take him with us like that.
... But I feel a little sorry for the gushoushin. His neck is very fragile now, so that he always looks down. (I should do something against it ^^;;) He really had a bad childhood. *drop*
