One thing before I say anything else.
School has CONSUMED my life. Completely. Don't get me wrong. I love what I'm learning about but I just haven't had a chance to relax...much.
ANYWHO
I've been looking through cosplay photos like mad..and I miss it. A lot. It's really bad when you're cramming for a midterm then you take a coffee break and look at photos with a sudden inspiration to make something. Not good at all :s I really need a creative outlet sometimes to keep me from going insane!
I am excited for the up and coming cosplay season though. I'm going to be tackling another MKR costume and hopefully *hopefully* my dream costume. If everything I do goes right and if I'm still alive...Dx I've been buying lots of paperclay too every week with the weekly coupons in the flyers. it helps when you need a massive amount of paperclay to go cheap like that haha call me Asian
stay tuned for updates of costumes (:
But if you guys have any tips on wing harnesses and time management for cosplay, please share. haha I would be very grateful. I don't know how some people can balance school, a job, volunteering, and a life PLUS cosplay all the time. You people who can, are gods to me <3
I'm also thinking of letting you guys see some of the Munny's (kidrobot) I've been designing. I really adore them and have been making them like mad haha I've been thinking of making the whole Avengers crew as my creative outlet for the year.. I am currently working on a final form sora from kingdom hearts 2 to make as a munny. I also have a huge 12inch(?or smaller) one that i have no idea what to make of it...ideas?
Well, that's all for today. I will be uploading some shots of what I'm working on soon (:
But ta-ta for now

Yearly update?
Wowie! It's been awhile since I've posted anything here! Sorry guys D;
Con season has semi-started for me this year. I unfortunately don't have the opportunity to travel much this summer so my con schedule is being kept to a minimum with only Otafest, Animethon and probably Expo in September.
I realize I never did an update from my con year in 2013 when I went to Anime North...I really wish I did now because it was such an amazing experience to go with ~2sosmia (https://www.deviantart.com/2sosmia) and another friend. I'm hoping next year to go there AND a U.S. con. I can dream right?
This year is a slow year for me in terms of new costumes. It probably won't be till mid
Cosplay update
This year I seem to have so much more to work on for animethon. I am super stoked for this con for numerous reasons-JYB is going to be there (woot woot!), I'm hosting my first panel, and just seeing everyone again-are the top three on my list. I've never hosted a panel before but my sister and I were just joking one night about con survival and staying awake at a convention (since it's too familiar to many of us the night before a con we're pulling an all-nighter to finish everything for the con). That pretty much planted the seed for the panel. I'm hosting the panel (alongside with ~lillywh (https://www.deviantart.com/lillywh)) "The Nerd's Guide to Con Survival" and it's
Otafest summary!
Otafest, as always, was an amazing convention to go to. This year they expanded the venue into some of the (what looked like) newer buildings and it definitely had a more "con" vibe to it. The weather was amazing and seemed to hold up pretty well for the whole weekend.
~lillywh (https://www.deviantart.com/lillywh) helped me with my makeup and bald cap for my Aang cosplay which took pretty long to do. But overall I was so happy with it. For Lillywh's first time doing latex and bald caps I think she did a pretty good job. They are tougher than I thought they would be to apply and it probably didn't help with the massive amount of hair I have on my head.
After getting ready
The smell of a burning sewing machine
This time of year is always my favourite for con season. It means the start of it (for me at least) and fresh ideas for cosplays and putting everything in gear!
Otafest is happening this weekend and I can say that every night since the end of April, I have been working late into the night to get everything done. Soo much fabric, pins and needles are everywhere. I'm excited though. I managed to finish my Hikaru cosplay last week which made me super excited. Pretty much jumped up and did a happy dance :) Got one more to do and I have to pack and everything will be ready to go.
From the amount of sewing thats getting done in the last couple of
