Grand Canyon🏜️🌵☀️ Embroidery with beadwork, 2021 #embroidery #embroideryart #landscapeart #mixedmediaart #miniatureart #threadpainting #beadwork #hoopart #embroiderywork

First test stitch with December’s new embroidery machine! It took about 10 min to stitch but about 3 hours to get the windows software on my Mac :’D

I like posting my crafts but even so I’m not subjecting any of y’all to the CRIMES that happened at today’s needle felting class. I knew the first one was going to be ugly but damn 😂😭🫣

We are thrilled to finally announce our 2025 schedule! 📅✨ Thank you all for your patience and enthusiasm. www.cosplayamerica.com/schedule-2025 (Note: Schedule is subject to change.) We can't wait to see you there! Let the countdown begin! #CosplayAmerica #CosplayAmerica2025 #cosplay #convention

More cons need to do show and tells and costume displays. Seeing cosplay up close and hearing how ppl made things is both cool as heck and SO helpful for learning and generating ideas. Cosplayers are doing crafting in ways no one else is! #cosplay #crafting

Guest Programming Announcement - Silk Painting It's been done for centuries in Asia, and now painting on silk has become very popular in the US. @dreamydecember.bsky.social gives an overview of this beautiful traditional technique. #CosplayAmerica #CosplayAmerica2025

Just completed diamond painting! This is one I inherited from the lady who started me on the hobby (she was giving it up) so I didn’t pick the design, but it ended up reminding me of an Islamic tile which is really fun. I decided I don’t like square dots though they did NOT want to stick.

Guest Workshop - Wig Transformation: Texturing and Spiking Wigs Your character wig probably isn't costume ready right out of the bag, but @malindachan.bsky.social is here to help you defy gravity with some wigmancy! #CosplayAmerica #CosplayAmerica2025 #CosplayWorkshop

I bought a yarn spinner but not an actual ball winder so instead I’m out here with the world’s stupidest lollipop

It was 15 degrees and actively snowing, but we managed two hours outdoors. It was a great location and a fun time!

I wore a zhongli inspired look, which I did not make, but I did make the wig and accessories! I was able to keep warm pretty well.

This weekend my friends and I went to the ice castles in cripple Creek to shoot! It was a very beautiful, very cold time.

New video on YouTube today, kicking off a new project 💜 youtu.be/hwyvq-lJfAM

Okay this is actually brilliant for closures, it’s so low profile! This gambeson continues to amaze me with its design choices.

A super fun project I did with Chey several years ago was doing a duo of Sakizo's illustrations! It was so much fun going to rhinestone hell with all the detail work we got into 🥰 Angel- leviathan.costuming (insta) 📸 Happy Pause Photography (insta) #cosplay #sakizo #fairy #angel
