In my previous Expo round-up post I forgot to mention one of my favourite moments of the whole weekend ( Read more... )

The Expo was fun. The actual event was quite cool but definitely more enjoyable was getting to see my friends and make new ones. Especially PrincessMark and Xangelwingx, who I'd never met before, you guys were incredibly cool. As ever I was envious of other people's costumes, especially Angelphie's perfectly tailored Rinoa and Elizabeth and ( Read more... )

It's 4am. I am admitting defeat. After a herculean effort by both me and Pete it's become clear that we can't finish Lizardman and Xianghua in time. It's annoying since they're both 80-90% finished but on a costume of the scale of Lizardman the last 20% means another 15 or 20 hours of work and I'm exhausted. I haven't been sleeping properly and the ( Read more... )

Yesterday was very productive as I managed to finish off four major pieces of Gramis's costume, meaning that I will most likely be able to finish him off today, tomorrow at the latest. Larsa is already almost complete so I will be able to put the costume together and do the last few tasks tomorrow as well. Then on Tuesday I should be able to get ( Read more... )

I'm taking a break and surfing the net for a few hours because I feel like I've been cosplaying forever. Literally all my free time at the moment is being spent making costumes and it's going to stay that way until the Expo. Which is entirely my own fault for picking 4 stupidly complicated costumes so close to the Event. (But on the other hand it's ( Read more... )

Today has been a bad day ( Read more... )

My teeth are fixed! Hooray! And my liver condition has almost reverted back to normal. I feel so much better - I hated being ill, it totally sidelined me for days ( Read more... )

I've been having a rough few days. I finally registered with a dentist here in Cardiff because I thought it was a sensible precaution in case I needed one in an emergency. During my check-up I was told I needed a filling which I got a few days ago. Obviously something went wrong because I've had severe toothache off and on since it happened. So I ( Read more... )

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you all had a good time. I spent a productive weekend watching Pete play Final Fantasy XII whilst I worked hard on my costumes. I'm really pleased with how much progress I've made but I'm especially pleased with two pieces I've been working on. The first project I started isn't finished yet but I'm hoping it'll be ( Read more... )

The best laid plans of cosplayers aft gang aglae. My lovely Expo plans have come apart at the seams because Louise and Russ, who were going to be cosplaying Star Wars and ./Hack Twilight characters with me and Pete, won't be around in May, so those costumes are being postponed until the October Expo. Louise has had a change of fortune at work and ( Read more... )
