Over the next couple hours (Or days, I need to take good pictures of some of them still) I will be adding much of the non-cosplay stuff that I never got around to adding in the last six months or so. Recently, all of my other artistic hobbies have been overshadowed by my love of making costumes, so there really isn't all that much, but it's still definitely who I am.
Speaking of costumes, I have been working on my cosplay for PAX Prime. I can't waiiiit. (I am being Rose as part of a Street Fighter group.) This costume is turning out to be quite the learning experience, and I think it will help me a lot skill-wise for my other upcoming costumes. My version of Rose's scarf is a monstrosity of wire and yellow fabric, so that it looks like it's floating by itself. (Though hopefully it doesn't look like a monstrosity.) I'm not quite cool enough to make it float with Soul Power. The rest of the costume is pretty straightforward, except the wig, but if I can style that, I can style anything, right?

Maybe not actually gone forever
I like to do this thing where I abandon websites for a decade, then come back, as I recently did with Tumblr. (So maybe there's hope of me actively using Facebook again in like six years?) I honestly don't do much that's worth posting here anymore, but I still do a couple cosplays a year, and knit and crochet a lot. That said, I got better at making costumes in the time I wasn't posting here, and have many I can add, so I will probably do that. It is certainly weird to look back at my convention posts here from so long ago. Conventions and cosplay were my life for quite a while, there was even a year I went to conventions in three different countries, and I actually got to live my dream I used to joke about, of being a booth babe for Koei Tecmo. I have so many wonderful memories, and I still love all of my convention friends, though in recent years I have slowed down a bit. (I suppose the pandemic did that to us all) Anything else I make any more tends to be nice enough sweaters and
PAX + Kumoricon + Cosplay + Sadness
I've been busy lately working on my costume and part of a friend's for PAX (Penny Arcade Expo), which is in a little over a week in Seattle. He's being Lu Xun, and I am being Sun Shang Xiang, both from Dynasty Warriors 7. This is kind of a dream costume for me, because I love Dynasty Warriors so much, even from before I was really into video games or conventions. Sun Shang Xiang became my favorite just because she was the only girl that started out unlocked in Dynasty Warriors 3. Kinda silly, but I still like her. (And somewhere along the line I started liking everyone in Wu too much, too.)
I have a good chunk of my costume done. I can't say
