Arwendë Luhtiénë's cosplay and fandom life

Italian Renaissance 2025 upgrade, WIP: Upgrading the sleeves of this gold-yellow late-15th century damask kirtle/gamurra for an Italian Renaissance outfit (this kirtle also doubles as the underdress for my 15th century Burgundian court attire) 😀☀️. They were originally only detachable at the shoulders, but I adore the Italian Renaissance looks where the sleeves are also cut at the elbow and along the arm (I chosen to have buttons added at the arms and use lacing for the rest), so that the camicia/chemise shows through in more places. It's been a while since I'd bought so many satin gold cord for all the laces lol xDD. I got a cotton batiste Renaissance chemise (camicia) from @fiorentina_costuming 🤩✨, which fits perfectly and is so comfy!

Jewellery-wise, I got a replica of an Italian Renaissance necklace from @renaroquedesigns , as well as a pair of Renaissance/Tudor-inspired earrings from Frogsandprinces (both on Etsy). Really like how it all looks together! (and I've been definitely wearing these earrings for fancier daily looks as well ✨). I debuted this upgraded look during a Summer trip in Florence in July 2025.

Just updated my hair Blogger with my take at a couple of Elrond styles from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, from a 2022 nature shoot. Featuring a fishtail braid as half-up with front mini braids in front of the ears (combining elements from the LotR and Hobbit Rivendell styles) and a multibraid variation (close to the Dagorlad Elrond style, prologue of FotR)

Even though I'm an astrophysicist (in a current Project Hail Mary hyperfixation 🚀✨💙👎), so far I've only done one piece of actual space art, a nebula & star cluster watercolour for the 2023 IG Spacetober challenge ✨🌟💫🌌. I quite enjoyed doing this painting, and adding the stars with white paint splashes and a toothbrush was so satisfying 🎨✨. Definitely want to make more space art in general (and Project Hail Mary fanart in particular). Also featuring bi colours, so happy Pride month 😁💖💜💙!

🎨Media: Watercolours (white watercolour for the star splatters)

🌟Reference: None per se, but I based the technique for this particular nebula painting on one of Vanessa_paints_ (IG/YouTube) 's nebula tutorials.

A year ago we attended the 2025 Estelcon (8-11th May 2025), the annual convention of the Spanish Tolkien Society, held in Canet de Berenguer (Valencia, Spain) ✨😊📚🎶📸🌊.

Flower embroidery practice (2022-25) 😃🌸🍃✨ (III - August 2025 -May 2026). Finally done! I started this project back in July 2022, on and off, practising with some flower designs on a piece of linen, following tutorials by slowly_embroidery (IG/YouTube). I'm generally keeping the main design and embroidery stitches from the tutorials, but changing some colours and sizes and adding some personal touches as well 🌸🌻. . FInal design includes some large blue flowers, a tulip, a design of leaves and sequin+beaded flowers, a bouquet with leaves and flower beads, cast-on stitch '3D' purple flowers alongside some leaves, a 'bouquet' of ferns/long leaves, a purple heather/lavender design, some beaded yellow leaves, a rose and a blue pansy. . 🌻 Stitches: -BLUE FLOWERS: Outline stitch for the stalks, long and short straight stitch for the flowers, lazy daisy stitch and French knot stitch for the leaves. -SEQUIN+BEADED PURPLE FLOWERS+LEAVES: outline stitch for the stalks, herringbone stitch for the leaves, French knot stitch for the centre of the flowers and some small leaves, and two types of beads and sequins for the flowers. -TULIP: Outline stitch for the stalk, long and short straight stitch for the tulip. -BEADED BOUQUET: Satin and padded satin stitch for the leaves, outline stitch for the branches, and various types of beads for the flowers. -3D FLOWERS: Cast-on stitch for the flowers (the most complicated stitch I've tried to date), and herringbone/leaf stitch for the leaves. -FERN BOUQUET: Split stitch. -HEATHER: Outline stitch for the stem, lazy daisy stitch for the flowers. -YELLOW LEAVES: herringbone/leaf stitch + beads. -ROSE: Stem rose stitch -PANSY: Split stitch for the stem, long and short straight stitch for the leaves and petals.

Throwback to a July 2017 Missy-inspired look ✨💜😁 for the one and only wedding event I've attended to date (my cousin and his husband's wedding). I had recently debuted Missy in 2016, so I decided to pair this gorgeous burgundy dress with Missy's hairstyle, boots, and a very similar make-up look.
