It's okay to be broke with multiple WIP cosplays and no new cosplay plans for the new year . or to to still add new plans in, despite your best judgment Or to not do any at all! . With all this new year positivity, it's okay to not have any plans at all, and to do what makes you happy. <3 #cosplans

These local and amazing fabric stores in the SF Bay area make JoAnns look like the school section of a wallgreens, haha . Shiny fabric adventures to G-Tex @gtex_fabrics / @gtexllc , with punster @wireheadarts, in this many part series showing you that you don't need JoAnns to craft!

JoAnna: "We're doing such a great job together! Let's get a selfie!" Micahela: "Fuuuiine. But I'm not smiling. A corporation asking me to smile is offensive." . I'm sure your new years resolution is to support small businesses, rite? . Joanna: @hellogwello Michaela: meeee 📸 @blizzardterrak

Reflection time! Lessons learned from doing  the top 9 of the year: don't forget to repost old content. 4 of these are not taken this year, and that's okay! . he majority of these were all done with friends. Like only 2 out of 9 were only me in the picture. Also, I got 2 videos in here, what?

For #wipwednesday I've been trying @ this inflatable props deal; I want cool-looking hands for Momo! I got a bunch of inflatable tools to prototype! Glues don't look great; heat continues to be my dear friend I think I'm brave enough to make hands now? #momocosplay #momoayase #momoayasecosplay

POV when you have an idea for a pose, but worry that you might get kicked out . I suggest you chant the quote "ask for forgiveness, not permission". And do it super quick! .⁠ From: Spy x Family, Episode 13 visuals⁠ Anya: @hellogwello⁠ Yor: Meeeeee⁠ Photog: @BlizzardTerrak⁠ #yorsday

WIPWednesday is trusting the process! For my #momoayasecosplay , I tried to make a hair style that preserves the wig length for reuse; but, I gave up & I needed to cut it. I studied & tried out wig styling tutorials . But GAIS all of it was worth it. Felt so confident & cute in this cosplay.

"WOW is this what a family christmas looks like??" - Yor . Love how dramatic this shot is! Tall Yor, tall church!⁠ .

Ever hear the characters in your head? My inner Momo's saying: . "Oh! These glasses are cuter than I thought. Keep them for me." . "Ya sureeee?" . "Yeah; it's so cute, Okarun won't know hit him." . Series: DanDanDan Char: Momo Ayase, school uniform Made/ by: Me 📸: Photobooth at @potobox_norcal

Which one do you like more? Gold gilding, or rubber n' buff? For #wipwednesday I'm sharing my journey to being a novice gilder! It's an old technique on applying gold leaf onto objects! We start with 3d printed pieces; it's my 3rd time trying it, and I think these don't look terrible!

"IT'S TIIIMMMMEEEEEEEEE!" - Mariah . It's time to inundate you with all of these cute xmas pictures, including this one that's just perfect for a family postcard! . From: Spy x Family, Episode 13 visuals⁠ Anya: @hellogwello⁠ Yor, crafted by: Me Photog: @chrispang.productions

Of course, I'd be the kind of artist who'd try a very complicated design as her SECOND silk painting Long-time friends of the channel know my first cosplays was one of the most difficult garments to make, haha Now the question is: how should I wear it? Around my neck isn't good

Happy dance for a new dress! It took a bit, and many mistakes were made! But I'm so happy to make something that fits me so well! The pockets are super deep, and I lined it with upholstery fabric to make the skirt drape dramatically like that. All of the iconography for the next dress was in place.

"I only wear black or red. It's is easier to hide blood stains." - Yor . YES she looks great in other colors but red is already SO good on her. The strength, the life it represents! .⁠ Series: Spy x Family, dressy!⁠ Yor: Me⁠ 📷: @oscarc.photography

NO TRAGIC LESBEANS HERE . Now I can add "Youtube videos" as part of things I cosplay.

We interrupt this regularly scheduled crafting & cosplay posting to celebrate this internet holiday, and post about the #CosplayCasa newest mascot, Luna! . I'm slowly trying to acclimate her to outdoors! My current step is the harness! look she's the purrfect little baby panther who can do no wrong

It's that time again! Ren faire time means we get eeveelution time! I wanted to try and make another umbreon, not just the many UmbreYors, but with super-quick made ears, and clothes that I just love wearing! . And of course I hav my umbreon babies! . Cosplay: Umbreon 📷: @chrispang.productions

New cosplay alert! . FYI the skirt was made out of upcycled totes bags, and I feared that it was going to read too dark and not enough blue. Leave it to dear photog friends to shed enough light on the matter!  . Series: DanDanDan Char: Momo Ayase, school uniform Made by: Me 📸: @wireheadarts

My entire last week of progress was for my booth @makerfaire ! So much laser cutting and figuring things out quick! . Next, onto another deadline! I gotta upgrade my Momo Ayase cosplay with something I've been wanting for a while: light up earrings! . Which one do you like the most?

Would you trust this Yor with your life? . . Series: Spy x Family⁠ Char: Yor, with a completely upcycled & reconstructed dress Made by: Me 📸: @bart41541

It's so satisfying when it's all together! Here's my booth for @makerfaire , for those who couldn't make it!  . I made a space where you can have fun with light-up props, all made by me! I setup props, even ones you can write/draw on, a phone stand, and let you take pictures and play!

I was WAITING to  find a spot to take this industrial embroidery machine class @makernexus and the wait is over . there are far lots of extra steps needed for it, but it's exciting to embroider this badge in prepping for Maker Faire Mare Island, their logo in my color scheme! A great badge addition!

Here's a preview of some potential spots for us at @makerfaire Mare Island , in the Dark room (but in light, haha) We (plus a @wireheadarts on a video call ) met the Maker Relations team, and they were amazing! We'd be GOLDEN with these spots! SEW excited for Maker Faire Mare Island! Who's going??

"Oh! It's Okarun!!" - Momo . Her most outdoorsy clothes are bright, neon colors and 90's bomber jackets! So, I designed around her retro style/availability/affordability! . Series: DanDanDan Char: Momo Ayase, beach version Made/Styled by: Me 📸: @chrispang.productions

Do you see any differences between the unwashed, machine-washed, & machine-washed+dry fabrics? . For my new project, (euni_chobot 's K-pop Demon Hunter's Zoey's magical girl designs) I needed something shiny for her light-up skirt. . @gtex_fabrics suggested liquid satin, and here's my wash test!

Don't tell me you also don't gravitate towards shinies! . This is part 2 of many where @wireheadarts & I share the amazing fabric store options in the San Francisco Bay area! There are SEW many good things in these stores, we don't need JoAnns LOL . Would you buy the Barbie fabric?

Momo Ayase & the KPop Demon Hunters are all magical girls, and I'm all-in that mode for #WIPWednesday ! Working on Momo's skirt! + my latest cosplay build, @euni_chobot 's magical girls rendition of KPop Demon Hunters's Zoey. Here's liquid satin from @getx_fabrics that may be good for the skirt!
