Who knows what will happen with this whole tumblr thing, but in light, I figured I’d mention that I am currently much more active on Instagram, since I haven’t updated my blog here in a few months.

...Is my Instagram with my cosplay and other stuff if you’re interested.
My fully finished Cersei cosplay! I am really proud of this costume, and being able to make most of it while going to school and work both full time, as well as studying for my boards exam and living a tiny bit of a life.
I’m still totally happy with my scrollwork, I wish I could have made it a little thinner, and I’ve beaten myself up about it previously, now, probably in the future, but I am still so proud of everything I learned and did regardless of exact screen accuracy. All these new embroidery techniques, chainmail, and working with pearly worbla, really great time with all of it!
I am still in awe of it taking 240 hours versus Faramir which took a whopping 550 hours. More than double!! But that costume is on its own fucking plane of existence.
This is one of my favorite costumes from GoT, and I could potentially see remaking it. The birds and lions I am most proud of, and don’t think I could do much better, but now I want to make it using proper silks, silk thread and the such!
But I’m happy this costume has come to a close. As I’m writing this, I finished it about a month ago, so maybe as you read this a month and a half? Month and a week? Something like that. Currently I’m in the mood to start on King George III, so we’ll see.
And here it is…the full, finished piece. My pièce de résistance.
What I started at the beginning of February has finally come to a close. Definitely the longest I’ve spent on any costume. Every bead hand sewn. Every piece of gold bullion hand cut and sewn. Everything patterned by me. It might not be perfect in a couple small spots, but I am so in love with it. I can’t wait to get my wig and makeup on.
So few people cosplay Faramir, and even fewer do the coronation look. Most just sew on a pre-made trim, and for damn good reason!! I say “most” like I’ve seen more than like two cosplayers with this costume, but I’m so happy to be a part of that small group and to portray Faramir and to try to do this costume justice. He deserves so much more love!
Making of a chainmail belt! Let me tell you about this thing…I was already in A Mood, and took about 3 seconds looking at a picture of how these links were. I did about four rows and noticed I wasn’t paying attention and had to take most apart. Then I did it again and realize there was an actual, impactful pattern and took it all apart again. Finally I decided to watch a quick vid and got what I was supposed to do. So I remade those first four rows and once I figured out how to do it, I had to stop and put it down. I couldn’t even deal with how frustrated I was. I haven’t had that in almost two years! But after about an hour, I was able to pick it back up, and it ended up being so enjoyable.
I still have a few more rows left to make, but I needed to order more rings from Hong Kong, so who knows when they’ll get here. But I really enjoyed this once I got what I was doing. I’d love to do more in the future.
The other plates are made from worbla’s pearly art. I really liked working with it and not really having to prime it. I used black oil paint to give it a nice patina.
I love Boromir so much so I became Boromir

Nakia - Black Panther (ECCC)
It took two and a half months, lots of sleepless nights (including one in the con hotel), and some last minute alterations but Nakia (v1) made it to ECCC. I have a bit left to do before she’s done (the beadwork is actually puff paint - yay improvising). So taking a break on this project to work on stuff for Sakuracon and then I plan to finish my beading and some additional detail work before I take her to Rose City in September.

And with this, the last set of pictures from Ladew Gardens, all costumes, are finished! Damn that only took months to go through and post!
But I really love these. Arwen amidst the trees and bushes. Almost like what Aragorn might have seen when he first saw her <3

Costume Leatherworking 101
or, Everything You Didn’t Even Know You Needed To Know About Leather
Hello everyone!
This is Gabriel from Armory Rasa, with the first installment in my series on leatherworking for cosplay. Leather can be a daunting material to get started with because it has a reputation for being both expensive and esoteric, and most of the information out there is for teaching you how to make cowboy paraphernalia. (Joy of joys.) My goal is to create a comprehensive guide focused on armor and fantasy leatherworking, one that will equip the beginning leatherworker with all of the information and skills they need for a solid foundation in the craft.
So welcome to Part 1, which is about the different types of leather and how to choose the correct one for your project. This is the required reading, the jumping-off point for all my other tutorials, cuz you gotta know this stuff first.

Ygritte the Wildling, Game of Thrones Cosplay
Made a quick formal doublet for our LARP season opener the Highkings tournament; cape was a stand in till I can make a proper cavillers cape (hunting for the perfect cavillers hat to finish it off too the next event I wear it too).
To all my fellow creators who haven’t been able to create lately and are feeling down and out: I love you. You’re great. You’re worth it.
While I hope you and I start creating again soon, just know that you’re still incredible no matter what.

“When the time comes, you will be thrown into his path again… Andraste preserve me, I must send you to him.” “What if I can’t? Cullen… if I don’t…” “Maker… no…” “Whatever happens, you will come back.” “Is that an order, commander?” “No, but as one of your advisors I strongly recommend it.” “Heh, if you say so.”
Okay one more photo before the big weekend photo that is definitely a top favourite! Although I do LOVE how this one came out too! Cullen is my boyfriend Inquisitor is me Cosplays by me Photography by a_bachman (Instagram
