Random thoughts...

So, here's all the stuff about to go down...

 I'm trying to finish Crona for All-Con... and I REALLY want to make a Ragnarok backpack puppet to go with it... otherwise the costume is pretty plain.

 I will be making more costumes for McLennan Community College this semester.  I'm not sure what I'll be making yet.  I meet with the designer on Monday.  

 AND, I'll be speaking at my old high school to the theater kids and possibly doing some costume work for them. 

 OH!!! And before I forget!  I got my panel schedule for All-Con... I'll be presenting at Noon on Friday and at 10 am on Sunday... Come by and say 'hi' and talk costumes with me!!!!  

 Other than that... I've been thinking about possibly doing a blog schedule kind of thing... like each day of the week would be a different kind of post... for example, every Friday I'll post a picture of another cosplayer/costume that I like and talk about why...  

 What do you think?  Would you guys be into that? What other things would you like to see?  

 It's just that so far, all I really blog about is projects I'm working on... and some weeks... okay... months... I don't have any projects... so there really isn't much to post about...

 Let me know if you have any ideas or things you'd want me to discuss.

 Crazy busy and doesn't understand why...

    I think that would be a great idea! You could post more often and we would get your perspective on different cosplays. There is a websites I go on to pass the time and get inspired by the awesomeness of cosplay,

    I also would love to see some information on makeup. I have seen your video on creating a cosplay makeup kit and found it really informative, but I am seriously lacking in technique and product know-how. Thought I would throw this idea out there.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Lust

  Fullmetal Alchemist Lust Completed Sept. 2010   Items Made: Dress This costume was awesome to make. We kind of deviated from the actual design in that we made the dress floor length with a slight train and there's a thigh high slit up the front of the leg (sexy). The dress itself is made from hunter green satin with a black chiffon overlay so the dress looks black with a green tint. Because if you look at a lot of the anime pics, the highlights are done with dark green. The gloves were store bought and the detail was burgundy cording hand sewn onto the glove s.  The tattoo purchased from an online vendor. If you want to see better pics, CLICK HERE .  One of the photographers nabbed some cool shots.  But they're his property so I won't post them here.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Fairy Wings

A Midsummer Night's Dream Fairy Wings Completed November 2014 Items Made: Two Large and Seven Regular Pairs of Wings I was asked by the costume designer at McLennan Community College if I could make 9 pairs of fairy wings for their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.   I had never made wings before, but I said yes.  They came out AMAZING and now I'm a wing making master!  lol! We needed wings for Oberon and Titania and the four named fairies in the play, plus they added 3 more because reasons?   My only parameters given by the designer were that she wanted them to be insect like... not high fantasy... and that she wanted Oberon's to be up and Titania's to be down.   This was my design for the fairy court.  I believe these were based on bee wings.  I thought bees were also fitting as the fairies flit about caring for the queen. For Titania, I used cicada wings as inspiration.  I thought at fi

Friday Favorites: X-men cosplay

Image
I've decided to change my original idea a little... originally I was going to pic one costume or cosplay and critique it.... Well that proved way too difficult so instead I'm just going to grab several various pics... themed of course, and run with that... I'll try to make a few comments on each so you can maybe see it how I see it. So today's cosplay theme will be X-men.  Why? Because X-men are awesome!! Here's a really good example of Colossus showing the power of makeup and simple cosplaying.  This guy isn't that muscular... don't get me wrong, he's not scrawny, but with makeup and using highlight and shadow he's given himself the illusion of a much more muscular physique.  The rest of his costume is just a pair of cargo pants and an X-men belt buckle... a buckle of which I need to find one for my very own.  I really would have like to seen one of Colossus' more recognizable costumes though... But that's okay.  You don't see
