It's wearable chu chu chu!

Progress on Ulala. There is so much interfacing and crinoline net and horsehair in this outfit to give it that gravity defying futuristic sci-fi look. Even the boots stand up on their own

I summon Dark Magician Girl to the dress form!

The dress is done (I'll do the brooch later). Everything is removable. And Imean everything. The skirt and cape have snap tape and all the other pieces have 1/2" snaps. The corset top has light boning and a front zipper.

It's time to duel!

This is the second cosplay I'll be working in tandem with Ulala. This is for my friend so we can be yugioh nerds together! This is just the mockup and now it's time to s-s-s-sew

#yugioh #cosplay
Left, right, chu chu chu!

I've been enabled to finally cosplay from an early rhythm game and Ulala from Space Channel 5 is it. Also my first Sega cosplay!

Here's my wearable mockup!

I'll be working this in tandem with another project so stay tuned!

Best girl cheerleader friend complete!

I feel so cute in this! I'm so happy that I finally made this outfit. Finding this perfect fabric really helped. Can you believe I only spent about $20 to make this?

Finally making Téa's school uniform! It's a modified suit jacket pattern I picked up eons ago to make the outfit and never did. Also real pockets. REAL POCKETS.

All I see is a monster in me

Transformation video for my D&D Bowser! Finally wearing this cosplay after I made it forever ago. I scared a few kids in this haha

That girl is poison

And also half the floral aisle at a Michael's.

Ivy, Lady of the Forest, is done! And just in time for Rose City this weekend hooray!

Sometimes you need to take apart a fabric flower bouquet.

I bought a bouquet of purple flowers at Michael's for the headpiece, but i wasn't sure how I wanted to put it together. Then it hit me. Just so it the same as the leaf hips!

So I cut flowers in half and sewed them to felt over floral wire.
350 mini roses later....

Ivy has all these spots up the skirt hem and sleeve. I wasn't sure how i wanted to add them, but this is the last of the forest. Roses obviously!

I bought two packs, about 350, put on some good TV, and nearly a week later, spots! It's fun to touch!

I've used every leaf that I could find in the house.

For real. The hip leaves on Ivy's dress needed more than the garland I bought, so I salvaged more leaves from other bunches I had.

It's amazing how this cheap leaf ribbon looks good when it's sewn down to the fabric. #cosplay #dccomics
Today in Zelda, I went to the beach with my friends and picked up rocks

I'm indulging myself and making Poison Ivy.

Dress is made of a rayon bedsheet and a table runner so far. Dress and flowers are both dyed using Dye-na-flow

I feel like a forest goddess. I had 3 hummingbirds circle me while talking pics, trying to figure out if I'm was food.

Today in Zelda I caught a bug. My sister wanted me to find a stag beetle. I got close!

Loki is complete!

I've changed a few things including adding a halter to the bodysuit and changing clips in the bangs to make them sit flatter. Also added the hairpiece which is attached to the ponytail clip with elastic plus bracelets made of furniture foam.

Loki got her hair did!

This is my Wedding Peach wig, so I didn't want to permanently alter it. So I made a clip on that also pulls the bangs up to hide them! After some trial and error and a lot of crimping, I have finished the styling!

#fireemblem #cosplay
Entire town is out of cell service and internet. Thank goodness for libraries! Cozied up in a corner by the audio books and worked in a quiet little nook.

Hopefully service will be back tomorrow. This wifi is not in fact booming like the ads say
Loki progress! My wig matches my garden!

I got some full photos to submit to Rose City and got a few fun ones with my tripod dog Noelle who really just wanted to sunbathe. She's not afraid of me in cosplay so it was fun to get a few silly pics

#fireemblem #cosplay
Accessories update!

The thigh emblems, belt, and shoes are done! I tried something new and used taco and ice cream sandwich boxes as the base shape under spandex. And that makes for some amazing durable shapes!

I'm getting close to finishing!

Lolol maybe he learned it from watching squirrels!
Monday challenge: post the least flattering photo you have of your pet

tbh I envy his ability to sleep anywhere
Thank you so much! I feel divine!
I thought it would be too but it's surprisingly not. I just folded and painted. The sun did most of the work. When I get back to writing, I'll for sure write this up as a tutorial!
A video of the sun painting! Well part of it. The process took over 20 minutes to paint the whole back skirt, and the wind and heat fought against me. But the result is amazing!
