Embroidery for Esther Blanchett update. Really liking how it is looking :D I think the whole skirt done like this will be pretty and I am excited to do more ^^ but first a little lolly break hehe.

Embroidery and 3d printing update. Its coming together :D finished the first little section within the 5 for this panel ^^ there is also the top section...so there is a ton to go but wooo happy with how it looks. Think the three blues work well together. Also 3d printing has been going ok ^^

Update on Esther Blanchett cosplay progress. Been doing a little bit more printing, just put another one on ^^ Also started the embroidery again and a lot happier with it this time. I made the skirt first and then have drawn up three panels so far. Working on the middle one out of them first.

Sewed the skirt together this morning and drew up 3 of the panels. These are the blues I got. Started the embroidery on the middle panel I drew up, just using two strands at the moment and love it a lot more. Doing the outline in the darkest blue to begin with.

Some thoughts on my embroidery attempt number 1. Have redrawn the design and thinking I will add more shades of blue to make it more my style. Plus the first printed piece, which I am very happy with. Files from Dangerous Ladies.

Plus these two because lens flare feels so right for this outfit. Photography by @cassasshots.bsky.social #dwaekkigym #straykids #changbi̇n

How cool are these photographs I got back from @cassasshots.bsky.social Dwaekki Gym outfit for the win. #dwaekkigym #straykids #changbi̇n

Start of figuring things out for an Esther Blanchett from Trinity Blood cosplay. So in love with this blue I got for the embroidery floss. Also been figuring out the embroidery pattern on some mock up fabric after I made a test of the underskirt/petticoat thing. I think its looking ok ^^

I made an old pair of jeans into a skirt today. Its the start of my Wolf Chan/Bang Chan outfit ^^ I am so excited since I had so much fun making my Dwaekki/ Changbin one :D Excited to be using stuff I already have too. Feels good to repurpose stuff that I don't like wearing into something new.

Added another necklace and tried it on with the nails and shoes...though I ended up cutting off my feet in the picture anyway >_> oh well. But think the sky nails are cute and they complete the look ^^ even though they aren't pink haha. Excited to rewear this with the new twist this friday ^^

Finished up my Dwaekki Gym outfit and accessories just need to find shoes but thinking white sneakers will do the job haha.

Thinking I might end up wearing this for nova (Dwaekki Gym outfit).Need to finish decorating the bag. Thinking I might paint a pair of sneakers pink since I can't find any I like. I am a bit worried if I try and paint the crop bra that it will stretch weirdly over my boobs so might just leave that.

Got out my supplies for Nausicaa out again.

Oh my gosh, feeling very cool in this costume but dear god do I need a lot more practice with my dressing. Hahaha, the obi is so bad :S but I shall practice a lot more this coming week ^^ hopefully have it down more for nova the week after.

Just waiting for obi and obijime to arrive but everything else is here for Junko 😃 my obiage has bird too eeee. Need to style the wig still and add the little white flowers. I am also going to dip dye some gloves so I have the black fingers, and I think I have some supplies to do her neck scar.

Glued magnets to felt then sewed this to a wig cap to go under the wiv but still have them poke out on my forehead. Then glued magnets inside the mask and now I can take my mask on and off easily and not have a big strap 😃 woot woot

So I just did the last touches on the mask and am pretty damn happy with my effort. Not 100% like the game ref (right image) but as close as I can get it to look. I am excited to get all my stuff in the mail to complete her costume. Next to style the wig and figure out the flowers in her hair.

Mask in the sunlight this morning. Thinking I might give it a light dry brush of a lighter colour on some spots to bring it up a little but just debating about that still. Really excited about it still and can't wait to put it all together with the kimono...and like need to style the wig.

I know Junko's mask is more like wood/gold kind of thing but I can't seem to get that so this is the next best thing haha. I really like how gross and creepy it looks. Will take some photos in the sun tomorrow to get the real effect/colours. But for now feeling super pumped about this costume.

Started the painting. Just waiting for these layers to dry and then can do more 😃 having a lot of fun so far.

Mask has finished printing and now to sand and get it ready for painting.

25 hours down woot woot. So excited about this mask. It's printing so well so far...here is hoping I have just cursed it hahaha.

Started on Junko cosplay from Silent Hill F. File for her mask from Krotek-inc on cults3d. Really excited about this and have ordered some accessories for the kimono dressing from aliexpress. Still looking into the main parts, which is really fun. cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...

First half of the headdress for Shar printed. It got a bit dodgy there but it is done so woot woot to that.

Take 3d printer apart to fix problem....create new problem...damn it

Onto the third eye. Really happy with how this is turning out so far. Bit nervous about making the pants as I don't normally make pants but think it will be a good challenge.

Saw this Arlecchino from Genshin Impact and am in love with this design. Have started the beading of the eyes while more stuff prints for a Shar from BG3 costume :D all the progress today

Back to working on Kallen from Five Star Stories today. I had a great time over the weekend at the convention and am pumped to be working on things after being inspired to work hard. So back to hand embroidery. I find it so relaxing and really love it.

Got Sester Genessa out again and debating how much side boob I want hanging out to change my under leather top to match hers :S Also need to cut down the front flap as its just pinned smaller at this point. I am going to embroider the back one today ^^

I have officially finished Jeanne from Bayonetta 3. (I am not doing her shoe guns at this time even though I have printed them) So in love with how this costume has come out and can't wait to wear her for the Championships of Cosplay at OzCC next weekend.

Getting out what I have so far of Pillsbury by @3liemarie.bsky.social I need to take it all in since I have changed shape which is nice. Dug out the other supplies I had bought for it so far. Lots to do on it but thinking I should be able to get it done fairly fast as its pretty straight forward.

All 4 One gun number one complete. Really happy with how it has come together. Files by Dangerous Ladies.

Woo painting the scarf's today, just did the second one all in one go since I found my plastic table cloth. Need to do about half the first one still. But feeling good about almost being done :D Then to just hem them and add the details and attach to the guns.

Makeup test and full try on of the costume so far. Excited to have submitted for the Oz Comic Con Championships of Cosplay. Can't wait to hear something in the coming weeks but super proud of my efforts either way. Files for the bracelets, watch and the guns by The Dangerous Ladies.

Started making the grey bodysuit for Cel from End of Abyss. Been trying to figure her outfit out with limited references but thinking she has a bodysuit under the jacket hahaha so went with a grey one. Also thinking I will give her knee protection and trying to pick a gun hustler for her right leg.

Ordered some fabric for the jacket and foam to make the helmet. Excited to get started on this when the supplies arrive. Need to figure out what to make the rest of the outfit out of as can't really tell what it is. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

I want to make a Cel from End of Abyss costume because I think the game looks so cool....I just want more images of them. Damn you game and not being released yet.

Begun printing the shoe guns but made them 80% size as the full size ones were huge. Debating getting them done for OZCC too. Will see how I go with assembly and printing all the parts...and the second one. The dangerous ladies files came with magnet spaces but debating attaching them permanently.

The 2nd fake gun is almost finished, just need to add the dime's to the grip. Then onto the scarfs themselves and scarf detail adding and Jeanne will be complete. 3D files for the guns by Dangerous Ladies.

And with the high gloss protective coat and buttons added the shoes are officially finished 😃 I also finished the second glove. Need to get back and finish the second gun next and onto finally doing the scarfs that I have been putting off for some reason.

Jeanne update; Finished one of the gloves. Finished the red on the shoes, needs sealing layer still. Gilded the second gun and styled the wig today. Lots on the list to go still but wooo progress. Really happy with how it is looking, couldn't wait to try it on with the shoes.

Finished sculpting the second shoe and started painting it. They both need another coat and the straps to be fully painted but wooo its getting there :D So excited that I should be able to get it all done for applications for Championships at OzCC. Can't wait to try on what I have done so far

Did the gilding on one side. Going to seal it in soon and then do the other side. Then continue to paint it. Really happy with how this 2nd one is coming along. I am so happy and excited about my Jeanne cosplay I can't wait to wear it for an upcoming convention. 3d files by dangerousladies

Working on the 2nd fake gun today. Purple background base down, black base for gold leaf to go on top down. White still needs painting and then cleaning up the lines once the gold has been sealed with gloss varnish.

I have been working more on Jeanne today. I made and attached her buttons to the dress and picked up the wig from the post office as I had missed it. Needs a style as its just straight out of the bag here to see what the colour was like. Big list of things to finish still but I will get there.

Because my ankles are a little larger then the ankle straps for the shoes I have made these little extenders out of spare ankle straps. They need to be painted still but they make it so much more comfy to wear. I am so happy with how they worked. Need to make two more for the 2nd shoe.

Gloves painted, next to add strap details. Shoe #1 semi painted. I got the paint today and was super excited to see how it would look so have partially painted the first shoe for Jeanne. Need to add the 3d details to the 2nd shoe and then paint it too.

Bracelets are finished and fake gun #2 is coming along. I was able to file and sand the pieces and get them to fit together better today. Need to fill the gaps in the gun and glue on the remaining pieces. Then its onto painting :D (or maybe a bit of a sand depending on how it looks)
