Hey guys, I made a quick little tutorial on French Seams. I’ve done about 20+ meters of them in the past week, so I was on a bit of a roll lol. French seams are a handy technique to know for: - preventing seams from fraying without using an overlocker - creating tidy looking seams inside unlined garments Kind of a noob topic, but I thought it might be handy for some beginner cosplayers :)

some people on insta said i should post my workout routine since i mentioned how im so happy with the results, so here’s my little workout guide for my fellow trans folk! I focused on getting a more masculine body because obviously that’s what I want. I’m so happy with the results, this workout is saving my fucking life!!!! I can’t get on T soon so this has really been keeping my dysphoria in check. I barely get body dysphoria, i love how my clothes looks on me, i love feeling confident for once in my life!!! HOWEVER Don’t go overboard with working out my friends. Do not work out in a binder, you MUST take days off to let your muscles heal, and you CAN’T starve yourself! Fitness is all about health and diet! Take care of yourself. This is also MY workout routine, you may not get the same results as I have! Every body is different.
EDIT: ahh I really didn’t expect this thing to blow up….A few people have brought it to my attention that some of the nutrition here could be wrong/not work for everyone. I apologize if I caused any harm. I think I stressed enough that you shouldn’t starve yourself to lose weight. That’s very dangerous, and if you’re prone to such habits I suggest don’t count calories, etc, and just make sure your diet is very nutritious. I just provided a way to lose weight that my doctor told me about. You don’t need to lose weight if you don’t want to. Obviously if you’re already thin there’s no need to make a goal to lose weight; that’s dangerous. Also, some of this may or may not be helpful depending on your body type. I was underweight before working out so I have no idea how it would affect someone overweight! Please don’t hold this post to such a high standard; this was just my own routine and things I do to stay in shape, I obviously can’t cater to everyone. I literally didn’t expect this post to blow up like it did, this was literally just for a few people. Sorry for any harm it caused!
Tutorial: How to make light-weight wings (Kamael) by *ElenaLeetah
beautiful!
This is one of those tutorials I am searching for an excuse to use next year.
Horn Tutorial-ish
I was going through some old pictures and I realized that I had forgotten that I had taken several progress pictures of horns that I had made a while ago. So, if you’ve ever wondered how I make mine, maybe this provides a little more detail?
Smush aluminum foil in a vaguely horn shape, keep it straight, otherwise if you try to bend it, it might just rip. Also keep it a bit smaller than you’d like the finished product to be.
Wrap it up in painters tape. I haven’t tried duct tape or scotch tape, but I would think painter’s tape would work best since it’s easy to tear off small pieces.
Bend it into the desired shape and throw on more painters tape to reinforce it.
Knead your Apoxie Sculpt A and B into a consistent color and throw it on the base, piece by piece. Make sure it’s a relatively thin coat, because this stuff can get heavy.
This is just one method of decoration, but it’s my favorite. It’s literally just dragging a line tool over the clay before it cures in uneven lines, more at the bottom, less at the top. I usually then slap the horns on an alice band. First I figure out their position by fiddling with them in the mirror and putting a spot of tape on the band where I want them and then hot gluing those suckers on. To further reinforce that, I’ll make little snakes of Apoxie sculpt and wrap that around the horn base to connect to the band. I also wrap a thin layer around the alice band where the horns sit for extra security. BAM horns. You can paint them with acrylic paint or spray paint and decorate with purdy flowers or MORE HORNS. Yay. Mini tutorial. If you have any questions, just shout at me.
PICTURES OF FINISHED HORNS WOOOO
Current progress on Carmen’s chest piece! I decided I wanted to cast one out of pink Ecoflex so that I won’t have to worry about any modesty issues. This will also let me like… put the boobs wherever I want in relation to the rest of my torso, because hers sit up really high as if they’re supported by a corset even though her corset is extremely open in the front. So I’ll end up wearing two corsets for this - one for actual support and waist cinching, then the chest piece, then the costume corset on the outside.
My headcast mold also covers my collarbone and shoulders so it was a really good shape to start with. I love Monster Clay because you can melt it in the oven and pour it into a mold, then tweak the shape as it cools. It saved me a lot of work on having to sculpt my neck and collarbones! I still have a lot of finishing to do but I think this is the general shape I want.
Ya boi managed to wrangle not one but TWO whole wigs this week!! I even scared myself upon seeing that first picture after taking it because I look like I’m making the same face as Lucas is in his concept art and I am just a teensy bit frightened by how similar it looks.
I still have to douse it in hairspray to keep that volume but I think I might have found my calling.
Still scraggly but at least the progress here took basically the same amount of time as the last small bit of ventilating and the end result now looks marginally less pubey.
Everyone struggles with this feeling.
But you know exactly how much work you put into your art, how many hours and how much care and love went into your pictures and no matter the amount of likes or retweets you get, you KNOW the worth of your work.
Alright shitstains listen up because I just found god in a bottle.
If you’re a nerd like me your body’s probably riddled with a few nerd tattoos yeah? Some of ‘em in some pretty obvious places? Maybe you work in a professional environment that frowns upon body ink? Maybe you’re a cosplayer and you have some revealing outfits that you need to cover up for, yeah? Tattoos that you can’t afford that $30 Kat Von D Tattoo cover up because you’re a cheap broke shit?
Story of my life bud.
Now I have a pretty obvious Squad 11 tattoo, because I’m a Bleach nerd and Zaraki Kenpachi is my husband, and honestly it’s difficult to hide it in some of my cosplays because it’s bright and black and right smack dab on my shoulder. Poor planning on my part but hey, squad represent.
You see that glorious miracle up there? That’s Mehron Tattoo Cover. You see those pictures underneath it? Tattoo? What fucking tattoo?! It’s gone!!!! Vamoosed!!! Like I never got the ink in the first place!!!!
This shit is durable, and I mean durable. It’s completely waterproof and that first picture of my tattoo is actually what it looked like after scrubbing at it with two makeup wipes. TWO. It’s not going anywhere
And the best part?
IT COMES IN DIFFERENT SKINTONES. BAM. WHAT.
I mean it’s not phenomenal but hey at least it’s not just “pale as fuck”.
And you wanna know the second best part?
It’s only 12 bucks on Amazon
Yeah. $12. Not $30. Because $12 is much more reasonable than $30.
As for size reference, that’s how big it is in that third picture right there. It’s honestly the best investment I could have made and everybody should know about it.
Go forth and conquer with your newfound knowledge. You’re all welcome.
This gonna be good if I get that chest piece in the future and gotta hid it with certain shirts for jobs ect. Just in case!
I feel like this would hide scars p well too!
I’ll have to try this and see how it compares to Dermablend and Hard Candy. Because the Hard Candy one is like $9.
I’m trying, random toilet graffiti. Pictured: about an hour and a half (overall) of slow, scraggly progress.
I’m gonna make a new challenge.
It’s called the “100 Workouts Until _________” Challenge.
For me, it’s 100 Workouts Until Fanime. I did the calculations and that means at LEAST 4 Workouts a week if I’m gonna make it.
Anyone else is more than welcome to hop aboard and follow along at their own pace :)
I’ll tag posts regarding this with #100workouts so if you’d rather not see anything on this, that’s the tag to block. For reference, my deadline is about 210 days away, so if I can go twice a week every week that should do it.
Because no one ever said saving the world would be easy. Get ready to slay every witch and soldier of Darkness that stands in your way… and look fabulous while you do it, too!
After getting such awesome feedback from my Sports Anime Workout Routine, I decided to make another one - this time, inspired by the kickass magical girls of the anime world!
Just like before, you don’t need ANY equipment for this routine! No gym membership required - you don’t even have to leave your room or put on real-people pants. (Bless.) If you’re more advanced and want to bump it up a little, add some 5-15 lb. weights on some of the moves, but otherwise, all you need is your body!
Here’s how it works: Queue up all of these songs, whether it’s in iTunes, YouTube, SoundCloud, or another music player of your choice. Hit “Play.” Your goal is to get through all of the designated exercises before the song is over. If you don’t make it, replay the song until you’re done! Then move on to the next one. Try to rest as little as possible between each exercise (and each song!) for the best results.
If you’re struggling and want to give up, keep pushing. It’s when you want to quit that the magic starts to happen. Believe in yourself and your own abilities. True power comes from within, after all!
PLAYLIST
Cardio: Sailor Moon Crystal - "Moon Pride" Arms: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - "Connect" Legs: Princess Tutu - "Hall Om Mig" Core: Card Captor Sakura - "Platinum"

How to Ventilate (or Add Hair to) a Lacefront Wig
I’ve seen a lot of really creative methods for adding realistic hairlines to wigs, but in my personal opinion, nothing beats a good lacefront wig! With lacefronts starting to be offered in a rainbow of colors, cosplayers have a lot more options to work with than they did even a few years ago.
But it’s hard to find a lacefront that 100% matches your desired hairline right out of the box.. I’ve heard a lot of people talking about “sewing hair” onto wigs, and there’s an actual term for this: ventilating! It’s accomplished with a ventilating needle or latch hook, and much less time consuming than threading individual wig hairs through a conventional hand-sewing needle. Ventilating kits are relatively inexpensive ($10-$20) and can make adding hair to a lacefront wig a fairly simple, if not tedious, task.

Paper Mache Tricks and Tips
In the age of thermoplastics and resins paper mache seems a little unglamorous and low-tech, but it’s still worth considering as a material if you’re getting into prop and armor-making. If you have low budget for your project but plenty of time in which to complete it, it’s worth a thought.
