I'm not really satisfied with the pics of my Millennium Ring that I already had on here, so I uploaded these. Please excuse my poor attempt to blend the two pics together. Please forgive the size as well (it would have been bigger, but I took the pics with my DSi in a not-so-well-lit room, resulting in bad quality pics; tried to fix this by shrinking and sharpening them).

HOW I MADE THIS
First of all, I got some sturdy cardboard (not the kind used for boxes; the kind used for the back of a sketch pad and such). I drew 2 circles on it and cut them out (making a ring). I also cut out a triangle that would fit snugly in the ring. I super glued the pieces in place. Next, I made a batch of salt dough (home-made play-doh made by combining salt, flour, and water). I rolled the dough into a rope and placed it over the cardboard ring. I shaped the dough over the triangle cut-out and cut the sides to make the dough cover it. I used smaller ropes of dough to make the outer parts of the eye, and the little details around the ring. I rolled a piece of dough into a little ball and poked a hole in it with a straw to make the inside of the eye; I used a similar process to make the little hoops that hold the needles. I used another rope of dough for the hoop at the top. The needles were made by rolling the dough into points, then slightly squishing the tops while puncturing them with a straw. After it had air-dried for about 24-hours, I added support to the outer features with super glue. I painted it with 3 layers of acrylic black, then ran thread through the hoops, connecting the needles to the rest of the ring. After that, I coated it with 2 or 3 layers of metallic gold spraypaint.

EDIT: I think I've found a shirt that will work for my cosplay. Just have to buy it and mod the sleeves. However, that still leaves the wig (I absolutely REFUSE to settle with a felt one)... Also wouldn't mind having a dual disk (classic). In particular, I'm trying to base the cosplay on this pic: [link]
EDIT 2: Ordered a shirt that was even more like Bakura's, but still long sleeve. That's easy enough to mod. I just have to worry about it getting here.
I'm not even sure if I would be able to make another. Of course, if I could, I would need a bit of money for my time, effort, and materials. Even at that, however, I'm not sure how it would stand up to shipping. :/

Mein Herz öffnet sich, ich will befreit werden. Weil du da bist, kann ich ich selbst sein. Man sagt ich bin immer missmutig. Aber mein Lächeln wurde nicht vernichted.
Don't worry. I will figure it out somehow. Might take longer than I expected, but I'm sure I'll come up with something. I might do work study next semester to get more pocket money, or ask for long white wigs for Christmas. Dad keeps saying we're too old for presents, but he can't keep from getting us stuff. XD
