I have really been slacking on updating my tumblr page, oh wow.
Here’s my tentative plan/ idea of a plan for Metrocon!
I’ll try to post more on my cosplay tumblr, I’ve really been tending to only post on the facebook page unfortunately.

when do you think commissions will be open? I'd love to commission you for a cloth piece!
Hopefully soon! I’m in the process of cleaning up and organizing all of my sewing things and will hopefully have space to work again by the end of this month. Also since the holidays are over and I’m not swamped at work I’ll have time to take commissions!!
NOW THROUGH THE 25TH!! USE COUPON CODE "SPOOKTOBER" TO SAVE 13% OFF ANY PURCHASE OVER $5!!!
Having a Halloween Sale!!! Coupon will work on all my spooky necklaces, which are ready to ship and should make it to most places by Halloween!!!
Added new items to my etsy store!! Just a few of the smaller items I’ve been piling up. More hairbows and bags as well as another cowl or two will be on the way soon since my schedule is allowing more crafting time and I might be opening commissions back up in the near-ish future if I stay on track and get all my smaller etsy projects I’ve been planning finished!
I am so bad at keeping up with this Tumblr now and I need to try and do a better job at posting things here! My Facebook page has been more active so if you want to follow me there too you can find it here.
Here’s some hall shots I found of me as Furiosa and wufawns as Capable! Photographer is Rodney Brown and the photos are from nerdcaliber.com! I didn’t finish the arm to the extent I wanted to and two of the nuts popped off the bolts and disappeared on me (luckily after the photoshoot we did!). I have a lot of mixed feelings about DragonCon, this was my first year and everyone got sick and we missed a lot.
Furiosa progress for Dragoncon!!!! The Arm is the biggest part still left, I also need to make the emblem on the belt and the waist pouches. (Also a haircut haha).
Finalized (?) my DragonCon lineup! Furiosa is 100% on Friday, so I'll be her on the drive up. Since I'm felling a bit pressed for time I put my original plan of Flemeth on hold, but I'll still be Dragon Age in the Parade on Saturday as one of my Wardens so I'll still match fairypsychic‘s Morrigan. At the aquarium I'll be either Vaporeon or I'll be rewearing Elizabeth (with some new improvements). Sunday I'll be Ruby to fairypsychic‘s Sapphire and Sunday night I'm going to do a comfy modern version of Hawke from Dragon Age (either default Marian Hawke or one of my custom Hawkes, Emelia. It entirely depends on if I want to wear a wig.), and Monday I'll be Sera all day until I leave to drive home.
Decided to add to my Sera cosplay by making a Flask of Frost (from the tempest specialization) to hang off my belt!! I think it turned out rather nice and I’ll probably make 2 more to list in my etsy store for sale. I’m also working on a Jar of Bees!! Inquisition needs Beeeeees!!!!!

how did you make the tunic for sera, i cant get the hang of it, and yours looks really good !!
Thank you!! I made my base for the tunic out of a dress pattern and drape patterned the rest on either myself of my sewing dummy.
Sadly I had to cancel my flight to DCC due to heath reasons and will not be attending :(

Sera as she’ll appear at DCC this weekend!
I may have the knee pads but that will depend entirely on if I can get out of work early tomorrow and finish packing before I start trying to finish them. I’ll for sure have them done, along with her bow and quiver for Dragon Con in September however!!
omg! Im going as Hawke, and my roomate is going as Morrigan! We should totally meet up for pics!
We should!! I’m planning on being Sera on Sunday

Hi! So uh I'm making my first big prop and it's a bow. I'm using EVA foam but I have to put something in the middle to hold it together, would a metal bar be a bad idea? The con I'm going to say to use as little metal as possible so I don't think I'll get kicked out lol but I want to take it to other cons too... Thoughts?
I just had a long conversation with my friend about building prop bows the other day haha!! As long as the metal bar is completely covered in the EVA foam I think it’d be ok to use at most cons since it’d be completely “padded” by the foam. It’d also be a good core piece since it’d be rigid enough to build around and it’d be a nice solid core to hold your prop together.
Another idea me and my friend were talking about would be to build the base of the bow out of PVC pipe, and heat bend it into the basic shape, then build all the detail out of foam, possibly worbla.
Best of Luck! I hope it turns out well and that you have fun at your convention! :D
It’s still a ways out but this looks like it’s going to be my final Metrocon lineup!
I’m really excited to wear Axel again, and I’m prob going to fix up my wig and Lady Loki I’m remaking 90% of since I re-designed how I want it to look. I’m also really excited to finally finish my Hawke cosplay and Fionna will be my first big formal event/cosplay at a con.
