| My first full 'all by myself' costume that I actually felt was 'wearable' to an expo/con... it was all done by hand and was just me experimenting without a real clue (so it's not the best costume, but hey!) I do like to edit things on it and so pictures may vary between cons ^_^ I hope to keep getting better at this!! So far worn at: MCM Midlands 2012 (Telford) CICAE 2012 (Cardiff) Cardiff Amisoc Cosplay cafe 2012 (Cardiff)*same day as CICAE Amecon 2012 (Keele) And random events in-between :P This is one of my favourite costumes as it's one of my favourite characters ever, I'll be up for wearing this any time!! And I'm always looking for a Ghibli group to join ;) | |

...and the work on this costume starts again ¬_¬ (Posted 24th July 2012) So a couple of things bothered me about this cosplay when I made it and one of those things was the ears!! |
|
Finishing in time (I think)!! (Posted 17th February 2012) Well I've spent the last couple of days trying to smarten this costume up, I'm sure there is a lot more I could do to it (as this is officially my first 100% made by me costume with all the trimmings!!) but I think I'll just stop and wear it tomorrow and see how it goes :) I can always work on it again some time I suppose (like re-making the shoes which look sooooo bad lol!!!) |
|
Making a face! (Posted 29th January 2012) Wooooooooh! Happy with the progress! Got a nice wig (which needs a little trim) in a local shop for cheap ^^ have started the mask and ears too!!! Also Dyed fabric with tea for the shoes!! So I hope this will be finished on time, I've have a lot on at uni and work which has slowed me down ¬_¬ |
|
Getting there... slowly :P (Posted 22nd January 2012) Instead of making her spear from scratch I got a free cardboard tube from a material shop, I shall paint this when I have paint ^^ have been making teeth today for the necklace out of some Plastiroc stuff and the white vest is made too (It took me ages as I sew everything by hand). Shoes, wig, mask/ears and spear left now and 3 or so weeks left :) |
|
Shoes (Posted 8th January 2012) Found some very cheap slippers (£3 in new look) and I hope to put material over them for her shoes :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Will start making her spear today from Cardboard and paper mache! |
|
THE DRESS IS DONE! (Posted 30th December 2011) The dress is done, the dress is done, the dress is done :) now I can start on everything else!!! (Only after I do some university work though!!) |
|
Second try (Posted 29th December 2011) Ok so yesterday I went shopping for all the materials for this costume (minus the weapon and necklace) then I came home for a sewing session with my younger sister. She made a fab Piplup hat and I made the dress for this costume, which although was 'fine' it's not really going to do and needs to be re-done therefore I have more material today to have a second attempt :)and I'm going to use this persons pattern to try and get a more accurate result! |
|
Getting started...? (Posted 28th December 2011) I am going shopping for materials today to start making this!! So excited!! Hoping to make it in time for Telford over a month away :) |
