Guys, idk how Ame photography (facebook)  makes me look cool and intimidating but uhh?? I love it. 

My main goal for this year was to step up my craftsmanship game, which I think I achieved! I made two petticoats (my only goal for 2016), made my first corset, and started learning embroidery and armor making. I entered my second cosplay contest ever, and got an honorable mention. I continued to build friendships in the cosplay community and make some new ones too! I think I improved my bodypainting and makeup skills too. Thank you guys for your continual support in this past year! My main goals for 2017 are further improving my makeup skills, keep working on more prop and armor builds, and continue to enter craftsmanship competions. Here’s to an even better 2017!

Making bubblegum progress. Not very interesting stuff, but it needs to get done. But I have like 10 yards of lace coming in the mail, so there’s that!

A little bit of behind the scenes of how I typically plan out a cosplay! I’m a pretty visual person, so sketch pages like these help me hammer out the details, as well as serve as a bit of a check list when I’m budgeting. Looking forward to working with chiffon, though. So floaty and pretty!
