The Weave is strong

Just popping by… I seem to have almost completely transitioned to insta and it’s stressful for me to even try to keep up with too many regular social media, so I don’t think I’ll try very much to keep up with my tumblr anymore at all. If you need anywhere to find me, it’s under insta name kestrelohara.

I guess I could always just completely cross-post from insta, but I probably won’t answer comments/messages here then.

Sorry for my lack of activity here; I’ve been mostly online on phone lately and the tumblr app is glitchy for me there even at the best of times :/ I’ll be answering comments to previous photosets posted on here later (very overdue I know).

Anyway, this is another one of those dolls I got sent off for face-ups, then never did anything with. He was bought during a super sale at junkyspot some years ago, as I’d seen a few Monos with custom face-ups that looked great, and the deal was too good to pass up. Just the other day I put him in the “magic wig” (he’s now doll #4 sharing it), and he just looked amazing? I’m going for something like this for his wig (I’ll be making him one with bangs for sure, either chin length regular or chin length stepped), and I’m thinking preppy style; navy and dark blue suits, wine red shirts, bow-ties probably. Or possibly something akin to the fashion by Wazigen Shizukuya. I might make one of each and see what looks the best, or he might wear both styles.

Now I need to find him a name oops, and then a character.

It was the first cosplay she ever did. After needling her mom to sew her the costume and order her a wig, she spent the next evenings sitting up late, forming a wonky necklace out of clay and too much acrylic paint. When her parents nagged her to go to bed, she just stuck her tongue out, until they threatened to not let her go to the con after all. It wasn’t perfect. But with all the compliments and requests of “can I take your picture?”, it was all she ever wanted.

Kessie’s Katara cosplay is finished…. well, apart from the shoes. Honestly I may just remake the whole outfit, because it turned out I’d left most of my single-coloured cottons at my parents’ so I had to work with the scraps I had. And I had no dark blue satin band for the necklace.

But on the other hand; yay BJD cosplay photoshoot. I’ve always wanted to have one tbh, I’ve just been too lazy to actually make a cosplay outfit. I may do some outdoors sometime later.
