Recorded from last year's NDK, and seeing as NDK 2016 is upon us, why not show some of the fun that we all had during the slow hours?
since I never actually uploaded any photos from day 1 of ndk here’s a tired rosie selfie with my bird mom in the background
I wanted to post a compilation of some of my pictures of bride/punishment/artbook Sakura I created for NDK 2015. There were a lot of challenges with this cosplay especially once we put together a skit that I had to do a lot of running in.
Major changes in how I made this dress for stage:
-High low skirt for easier running but led to having to create a crazy pettiskirt out of deco mesh. Yes, that stuff people make wreathes out of.
-I hand painted all the accents in gold instead of using piping or cording. This made the dress lighter.
-Altered headpiece/veil accents for greater effect on stage
-All the heat set gems! This beauty sparkles like a disco ball under stage lights
When people see this dress in the photo I think a lot of cosplayers get scared of all the techniques that they may have to learn to create it. However, I think cosplays like that should get people excited. I learned heat cutting, hand painting, jewelry making, and was forced to use a lot of critical thinking about how to make this a functional cosplay I could actually walk around a convention in. I also got to experiment and have fun with using opalescent sheers and angelina fibers for the Tsubasa decals my entire group had on their costumes.
If you are interested in seeing the skit the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPyWoymvde4
We are skit 54 and start at exactly 1 hour into the video. Things went wrong, things went right. We ended up winning Best Craftsmenship in our category. I will have a post up about the WIP of this costume soon as well.
Thanks for reading!

I know it was a while but I loved NDK And all the personal people who I met and got to see. It was very encouraging to see people who related to people and enjoyed them selfs. They didn’t judge each other for the weird, quirky, and special traits about them.
