Happy #wipwednesday Some things are moving along now. I did the main carving of the sword on Saturday. I'm waiting for the rest of my materials to arrive before I can do any more. I'm planning to have a mixture of carving and 2mm craft foam for the details. I also spent some time on Christmas day restitching the beaded hair chains to the ribbon. I don't want the chains to become tangled in the hair. So I've stitched them to some organza ribbon. Hopefully this will prevent major tangles. #thunderboltfantasy東離劍遊紀 #thunderboltfantasycosplay #xieyingluocosplay #東離劍遊紀 #torikenyuuki #katsueiraku #蠍瓔珞 #cosplayprogress #pili #pilipuppetdrama #handmade #beading #beadwork #cosplay #cosplaywip #swarovski #七殺天凌 #quishatianling #sevenblasphemousdeaths #nanasatsutenryou #foamprop #foamcarving #foamsword #propsword https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbKJjYDpj8/?igshid=26vplk17v1wx

Happy #FateFriday! Here's another expressive shot from my early morning Sunday shoot with @mouzycatphotography at #Youmacon 2019. The costume is from @uwowo_cosplay and the wig is from eBay. I made the black skirt and red thigh highs. I have loved this Rin design for a few years and I managed to snag the costume back in the summer. I plan on wearing more incarnations of Rin in the future. #fategrandorder #fgo #fategrandordercosplay #fgocosplay #fate #fatecosplay #rintohsaka #tohsakarin #rintohsakacosplay #rin #red #brunette #sexycosplay #femalecosplay #michigancosplay #midwestcosplay #over30cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B5vJh50j5uF/?igshid=8xqu6snw57f0

@redthreaded #fallforcostume #daytwentyfive #day25 #warm Not only is this costume physically very warm but the story between Asuna and Yuuki is heartwarming and heartbreaking. This skit was exactly what I imagined. I was glad that @c80sthingamabobs and I were able to spread all the sword art feels. #swordartcosplay #swordartonline #mothersrosario #yuukikonno #asunayuuki #asunayuukicosplay #yuukikonnocosplay #michigancosplay #midwestcosplay #over30cosplay #claracowscosplaycup2018 #c4teamusa2018 #teamusa2018 #teamusa https://www.instagram.com/p/B4D02pOjyog/?igshid=faclggfsmq3i

I was commissioned this summer to make a custom character kigurumi. I've made two for myself but this would be the first time I'd be making one for someone else. They requested #filo from #Riseoftheshieldhero . I love the show and wanted to do best birb girl some justice. I used two kinds of blizzard fleece from @joann_stores as well as a couple of the felt squares. I used @simplicity_creative_group 8276 and then created all the custom details myself. I used #6dembroidery to digitize the eyes I drew in #gimp then used my @husqvarnaviking #DesignerDiamondDeluxe to embroider the eyes onto a piece of felt. I used #robisonanton embroidery thread and @pellonprojects tear away stabilizer. The kigu was sewn on my #Opal670 machine using #gutermann thread. Other embroidered details are satin stitched freehand on my Opal. The kigu closed in front with snap tape and features rib knit cuffs. The wings are encased in the arm seam to reduce bulk from the fleece. #cosplay #sewing #kigurumi #customkigurumi #customcosplay #cosplaykigurumi #kigurumicosplay #riseoftheshieldherocosplay #filocosplay #filofialqueen #filofial #birb #bestbirbgirl #bird #birdkigurumi #michigancosplay #midwestcosplay #over30cosplay #atelier #customgarment #wearablecreation #handmade #vikingsewing #vikingserger #vikingembroidery #vikingpfaff #machineembroidery #customclothing #customembroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/B17OtmtjvqA/?igshid=1cdxw2nyubkof

Happy Monday! Time to celebrate August with some Black Clover cosplay! This lovely shot of Mimosa was taken by @cwolfeimagingcosplay at the end of June. I'm wearing @ardawigs Ferrari in Ginger Blonde. I used a vintage @simplicity_creative_group pattern for the blouse and a corset pattern for the cincher but the rest was drafted by me. Thanks to @quidvispatch for the Golden Dawn patch. #blackclover #blackclovercosplay #mimosavermillion #mimosa #vermillionfamily #princesscosplay #femalecosplay #ardastyle #goldendawn #goldendawncosplay #shounenjump #shounenjumpcosplay #asta #yuno #grimoire #magicknight #royalcosplay #cutegirl #bestwaifu https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ySir3j2kL/?igshid=19j7rj2wqd176

Feeling the #FireEmblem love this weekend. Flashback to #youmacon 2014 when I wore #emmeryn from #fireemblemawakening 📸 @mouzycatphotography . I loved the textures and all the applique that went into this. All of the designs were hand drawn based on a high resolution reference image. I did all of the satin stitching with metallic #governmentgold thread from #robisonanton Sewn using @husqvarnaviking machines. #fireemblemcosplay #exalt #greenandgold #sewing #handmade (at Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ey7zqDIXr/?igshid=1i0olcgsafkfb

Thank you to @shockolateenergylove for sharing this photo yesterday on FB and for your kind words. Giving awards to cosplayers and judging craftsmanship and performance is one of the best parts of this hobby. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for their costumes encouraged me to keep pushing myself and getting better. Also this is one of the few photos in existence of my Suzy Q cosplay from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. #jojosbizarreadventurebattletendency #jojocosplay #battletendency #suzyqcosplay #suzyq #cosplaycontest #midwestcosplay #michigancosplay #finalfantasycosplay #saintseiyacosplay #athenacosplay #rydiacosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bd1p7jTh5/?igshid=1rbazpmddkkpj

I was trying to be tsundere but I'm not sure how well it worked out.
