I just noticed I forgot the #cosplay tag earlier 😆 I still had some photos to post of the armor. I made them out of papier mâché using cheerios boxes as a base.

I made an Athena cosplay from my stash! I had to buy more paper for the papier mâché, and more glue. Everything else is from the stash.

PLEASE take care of your eyes.
Simpsons meme of a bus driver saying, "Don't make me tap the sign" as he taps a sign in the bus. The original text on the sign has been replaced with the text, "See an optometrist before getting cosplay contacts" because it's EXTREMELY IMPORTANT YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR EYES PERMANENTLY WEARING THEM WRONG AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO WEAR THEM AFTER AN OPTOMETRIST CLEARS YOU AND TEACHES YOU TO PUT THEM ON.

#Sk8OvaCountdown day 4, A different era/Different sport. Re-posting another old #renga fic of mine that fits today's prompt! I used to climb and thought it would be a perfect fit for the sk8 plot.

Promo image for a fanfiction: Langa sets out to climb mountains in the States to celebrate his high school graduation. Amazingly, he runs into a fellow Okinawan there, whose passion for climbing reminds Langa of someone special.

#Sk8OvaCountdown day 3, Sleepover/Babysitting.

Here's a throwback to a fic I wrote of good big brother Reki babysitting his little sisters. I made an elegant graphic for this one for reasons you'll soon see!

archiveofourown.org/works/33016732
A promo grahpic for a fanfic: “They’ve been begging to go to that princess party all week," Masae sighed. "I can’t take them now.” “I’ll take them,” Reki promised. He was the eldest, he’d had experience taking care of the twins. He was pretty sure he could handle taking Nanaka and Chihiro to the 'Princess Party' event at the public library later that day. Probably.

#Sk8OvaCountdown day 2, A good match/Hair! #renga

Here's a throwback to the very first Sk8 fic I ever wrote! Now with a pretty graphic!

Promo image for a fanfic: Reki's hair dye needs a touchup, and it gives Langa ideas about his own style. All while Reki tries desperately to keep Langa from finding out how much he loves him.

My favorite part though was sawing up some plastic skeleton hands to make connectors and pendants!

Here are some more details on how I made my #qirong #tgcf #mxtx #cosplay The arm guards are made from papier mâché and food box cardboard. The gem is made from UV resin. The blue details are foam and one (1) blue rhinestone. I also used gold braid for details.

I used HTV for this cosplay and made the tasuki out of braid. The pendant for the hakama knot bow is UV resin that I made.

I went on vacation and found some really great spots to take pics of my #kananmatsuura #cosplay from #lovelivesunshine ! I made the Mijuku Dreamer verison of Kanan and really loved it. I hope I captured her vibe.

While I'm posting old #cosplay, have my #meyrin from #blackbutler #kuroshitsuji plus my bff as #theundertaker and #cielphantomhive that I all made in 2012! I borrowed her colorguard rifle which was fun.

Here's a #cosplay that DID make it to the finish line! I did the Dowager Empress and Sophie from #anastasia back in 2016. This is the first cosplay I entered into a masquerade. We won a honorable mention for our skit! I had fun with the old age makeup.

I can't find a pic of my Sophie though. :(

And an Anastasia. I quit this one because I messed up the circle skirt. None of my cosplays that start with an A have survived. 😅
