VEGETA WIG REVEAL
🐉Anyone else excited about the new Dragon Ball movie?!?!

I impressed myself with the results of this wig, although it needs some adjusting; the weight distribution is off so I couldn't trim the lace back as much as I wanted. So I either need to adjust the weight somehow, or need to find a way to blend the lace.

Either way, I think this is more along the lines of what we want for a live action Dragon Ball movie, am I right?!?!

🖤 Astronomicon was super fun! I'll definitely attend again! There were so many great cosplayers, check them out in this Metro Times article photographed by Josh Justice! 🖤

Pop culture convention Astronomicon returned for its fifth year, this time at the Burton Manor in Livonia. Detroit rap duo Twiztid and their record label Majik Ninja Entertainment hosted thousands of fans, cosplayers, and a who's who of pop icons, including Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor,...

Fit matters - change my mind
I knew the suit was just a little big on me, you can tell by looking at the fabric creases. But after tightening it up, the difference is night and day. Would you agree?

💙 I love sewing 💙
Learning new skills is difficult and defeating. I needed this win. Counting down to Motor City Comic Con!

I don't usually go for accuracy, and I also don't usually make things out of foam. But I pushed through the fear and now I'll be capable of making absolutely anything.

🏹 Katniss commission complete! SWIPE to see the wings!!!

🏹 This was such a big deal to me. Not only was this my first long distance commission piece, but also my first time making wings of any kind! And I couldn't have asked for a better client! I learned so much throughout this process and I'm very proud of the finished pieces.

🏹 This cosplay is a collaboration between a few people. I can't wait to see how everything comes together in the end!

🏹 I'm particularly proud of the wings because I don't work with foam a lot. I did a lot of research on different ways to make foam feathers, none of which served my specific purpose. So I'm planning to do a tutorial about how I did things a little differently! Cool, right?!?!?

Progress on what has been a secret project, an unexpected Ariel costume! I loved the idea of a shipwrecked version of Ariel, and I did not expect this LITERAL BEDSHEET to turn out so glamorous and Greek goddess-like.
