#joyleaf

After two weeks of holidays in USA there was still one week time to relaxe and plan some shootings with two of my friends, sadly I see mostly at conventions. Thanks to Pasta I could shoot 5 costumes at 3 days. All costumes was made in the same city (Kassel) in middle germany. It was the first time to be there outside of a convention haha.

Here the whole list: - Absinth fairy - Joyleaf from Elfquest (Comic) - Inari Kinuka from Zone-00 (Manga) - Lady Eboshi from Mononoke Hime/Ghibli (Anime) - King Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones (TV-Show) Photo by PastaCosplay Costumes/Makeup/Wig by my/Naraku

Joyleaf Makeup test I'm glad I make make up tests for new characters. Need to darken the shadow in my face and a better fitting for the wig. But more or less it's fine for the first time. What is new for me: - this kind of eye makeup. It is so weird to edge the whole eye. I just plan to change the back part, but don't know how. Good to know I have 2 till 2.5 weeks till convention. - a curly wig with elfears....omg....I swear, I hear my rustle hair all the time. So for all people at convention. When I don't understand you, it is because I hear only 50% XD What will change: The ears - I get new better fitting ears.

And the last part of this costume: super cheap weapon. This quiver and arrows are not the best what I made, but for a one day work good enought.

ELFQUEST Some small updates for my next costume. It is the first time I painted leather. It is a sweet and suprising fast work. Some shadow painting on the belt and it was ready to wear. 

To the other costumes before it is a nice easy and different work with leather and pleather. I used some old shirt pattern and changed the front part. All hems are just cut and burned to have a natural ‘ripped’ look. You can’t see it here but the pants has some brown ribbons on the bottom legs and brown patches with decorative stiches. The horrible fact: it looks better on the dress former, than on me. Hopefully it changes with Make up, wig and weapons.

Cannabis has always been seen as an addictive element. But in reality, they are quite beneficial because of the results they offer in terms of treating health conditions. No doubt, cannabis intake in moderation will work well to get relief from a lot of health ailments. They work well for treating chronic pain, depression, PTSD, social anxiety, alcoholism, drug addiction, and much more. However, it is essential that the person has control over himself and consumes cannabis only under the guidance of a professional. There are a lot of studies going on that are helping identify the benefits of the same in the long term.
