I have returned! Escaping from the bird app with my cat.

I still have buckets of progress to share for Red Mage but I wanted to take a second to share me wearing it while at AX! It was so nice to not have to worry about a hoopskirt for a change. 😂 Photo by @yummygamorah #cosplay #cosplayofinstagram #finalfantasyxiv #finalfantasy14 #finalfantasycosplay #finalfantasy #redmage #videogamecosplay #sewing #3dmodeling #3dprinting #AnimeExpo #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RuUOWjz5d/?igshid=1mwq0u0eokvec

✨Red Mage Hat Emblem Process!✨ I was so proud of how the gold pieces came out for my Red Mage so they get their own post! I sculpted these in zbrush and had them printed in SLA by the rad dude, @carlmartincos. After clipping the support material, I wet sanded these bad boys up to 1000 grit before hitting them with a metallic spray paint. Once cured, I sewed them to the hat using the loops I modeled into the backs. It was way sturdy and I was happy my design worked out! Fun fact: My feathers are cruelty-free and came from a rooster named Gaston. His owners scoop up the feathers he drops in the yard and he is lovely. ♥️ #finalfantasy14 #finalfantasy #cosplay #cosplayofinstagram #ffxiv #ff14 #finalfantasy14cosplay #finalfantasycosplay #sewing #finalfantasyxiv #videogamecosplay #videogames #squareenix https://www.instagram.com/p/B0B-k2ijeGY/?igshid=1kwyv1rrl9nqv

I have a huge love for a certain lounging penguin king. 🐧👑 I digitized this design over my holiday break so I've been dying to see how it would turn out. Probably going to put this on the back of a jacket for myself. 😉 #embroidery #videogames #kirby #supersmashbros #smash #dedede #kingdedede https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTpd_jDfnq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f3wtd4pcivm6

My top 9 for 2018!!! ...I think I see a pattern 🤔 Y'all love that Astrologian and I'm glad. ✨🌙✨ Photos 1,4,5,6,8 & 9 by @ashsnapem and 2 by @solaris.studios 3 by @kiyanocturne #astrologian #cosplay #finalfantasy14 #finalfantasy #cosplayer #2018bestnine #2018 #sewing #sewingroom #videogamecosplay #cosplayersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Br1L6S3DMGq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bqi59n2ky5lg

💜Those who guessed Sailor Saturn are right! 💜 I'm doing Super Sailor Saturn to be specific. I started with the collar because they're honestly my favorite part to make on sailor fuku. I used woven cotton interfacing to stabilize the collar and I'm so glad I did! It allowed the stripes to go on with no warping or puckers. I'm using a combo of Zan's pattern and some fuku patterns I made years ago last time I made some classic senshi. 🌙 #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #sailormoon #sailorsaturn #sailormooncosplay #anime #sewing #costume #コスプレヤー ＃コスプレ https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSq479j15y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m6p3brpbsjjy

I've been still trying to figure out what my next big project will be but in the meantime, I've decided to work on a simple project to get back in the swing of things (I've had this fabric in my stash for at least 2 years). Can you guess who????? 💜⚰️✨ #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplay #sewing #anime #fabric https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp40CFSDUvX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3nbun3amipaj

Embroidering some velvet with @kiyanocturne this weekend! Loving the gold thread on the black velvet. This is piece is the right lapel on her jacket for Riku. FYI, velvet is a jerk. 😅 #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayer #idolish7 #rikunanase #idolish7cosplayer #embroidery #sewing #anime https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpxhh0OjguZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wbf8erec7ary

About to leave for Disney this week and I'm so excited! I get to attend Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this year so I put together the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland! I wanted to make something with fabric I had on hand and this totally worked. The ruff and white part of the tunic are poly satin and the heart is cotton sateen. I embellished the heart applique a bit with silver and gold because I couldn't not be a little extra. ✨❤️✨ Shout out to @sumikins for posting a great video about making ruffs. I stumbled on it when researching how to make these! #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #disney #disneyworld #mickeysnotsoscaryhalloweenparty #aliceinwonderland #whiterabbit #disneyparks #aliceinwonderlandcosplay #コスプレヤ＃コスプレ https://www.instagram.com/p/BoH0XQaDUSI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=biodgvi6wksy

Some cute shots taken by the lovely @kiyanocturne! She, @binkxy, @ilik3d0nutz, and I had time to goof around and take pictures during San Japan and I'm so glad we did! Shooting with friends by the Riverwalk was so much fun! It made my heart so full. I hope to do it again soon. ❤️ #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #finalfantasy #finalfantasycosplay #finalfantasy10 #ffx #ff10 #yunacosplay #yuna #yunabraska #fate #fatecosplay #コスプレヤ ＃コスプレ https://www.instagram.com/p/BoCh7NnDDR-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i01xptaygba7

This sash is from my Miaka costume (early 2016). I've been upgrading this costume this year with stones and reworking parts. The sash is red and gold silk dupioni with custom embroidery and applique. I've been trying to revisit costumes I've neglected over the years and I'm so glad I did! Before this year, I had only worn this costume once and now I'm invigorated to wear her more often! ✨💖✨ #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #fushigiyuugi #fushigiyuugicosplay #miakayuuki #miaka #sewing #embroidery #applique #コスプレ　＃コスプレヤ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnl9tcxA3gk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ukbllzl43a4

Preview for some happenings that will be going on at my 3D printing for cosplay panel at San Japan! The purpose of this panel is an introduction into incorporating 3d printing into cosplay. I'm so excited! ✨🌸✨ If you've never done it before, is there anything specific you think I should cover? If you're familiar with it, what is something you wish you knew when you started? #cosplay #3dprinting #cardcaptorsakura #3dmodeling #sanjapan #コスプレ ＃コスプレヤ #clamp https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmtib21ACvT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s08l2svfrc3
