I'm at that midway point of recovery where I feel like I have the energy do things, but then get quickly humbled by the resounding no of my healing wounds protesting in agony

Survived my surgery

Wow yeah it's been a busy couple of weeks with Chch and Welly Geddons. Next up is Auckland and then I'll get a nice long mandatory break (recovering from surgery)

Feeling the fomo that I won't be able to complete my Cosplay For You entry in time. But please appreciate the disgusting jiggle physics in this abomination of a prop

"Competitions aren't part of the cosplay community" is such an ignorant and self-centered take. Competitions are a FOUNDATIONAL part of the cos com that have been there since the beginning. They encourage people to push the limits of the craft and learn new skills. They inspire more people to get

Artistic burnout and radiculopathy - it's not an anniversary I wanted to celebrate, but it's been about 1 year since the onset of numbness, tingling, stabbing, and burning in my dominant hand, arm, shoulder, neck, and back. The pain keeps me awake at night and severely limits my ability to work.

Even the windy weather couldn't deter the good vibes at the Newtown Festival market today.

Belated Christmas gifts for my dnd group. Custom keychains of everyone's characters

It's taken me a whole week, but I finally finished unpacking from Geddon (chronic pain sucks)

Knights ahoy! What was the first game you played that had a gauntlet cursor? Mine was Diablo II. This metal pin draws inspiration from historical armour, fantasy films, and video games.

I'm at Great Games With Pals this weekend, 10-4 both days at the Memorial Dominion Building

The release of Borderlands 4 is upon us, and the Timekeeper's Order must be hunted. Little fun project by me, the vaulthunters getting ready after telling each other their stories. Inspired by the "Yeah" scene from Demon Hunters. #Borderlands4 #animation #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS

Screaming shaking crying I got tickets to see Motionless In White!!!!!

A daily occurence

I'm one-shotting bosses with the fourth sword

Not being able to buy a drink at my 35th birthday lunch because I forgot my ID ahahaha 🫠

The most photogenic WOAP burger I've had so far (The Stag Night from The Polish Sausage Company)

Made a faux baguette for an upcoming group cosplay. Pool noodle continues to be the MVP cosplay prop material.

Did you know Chessex Dice containers are the perfect size for safely transporting needles+thread in your repair bag?

Pssst a tip for bluesky #cosplayers that I found helpful: In the alt text of your posts, include the name of the show/game/book, the character, and the word cosplay. That way, when people search something like “hazbin hotel cosplay” it will come up in the search results. Hashtags don’t come up—

5 hours + 1x recycled box + EVA Foam + stash fabric = a grimoire to carry around all my loot. This is the second time I've built Dynios; the first version was a dust jacket wrapped around a text book. It was great for shoots, but not so practical for cons. Now I've got options for every occasion.

I've platinumed Clair Obscur and now I don't know what to do with my time except for trying to convince everyone else to play it too

We've only had Tulip for 3 sessions but if anything bad happened to her I would go Chaotic Evil

So, apparently, the company that owns the Big 4 sewing pattern companies (and Perler fusible beads among other brands) just sold those assets to a liquidation company. Those are the last printers of tissue paper sewing patterns AFAIK. Kind of crazy. craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...

The weekend before con is for going through my WIPs folder and calculating whether I can finish any of my old sketches in time. Current contenders are Ekko(Arcane), Emmrich(Veilguard), and Maomao(ApothecaryDiaries)

Pretty chuffed with how well this pattern turned out! I've got more fabric on order so hopefully that will arrive in time to sew more of these little guys for wellygeddon + overload

April is going to be a busy month. Here's where you can find me ~

An Omen of Mothbois (like mothman, but baby)

She looks so terrified of getting stabbed by that needle 🥺 Girl, I literally sewed you from scratch.

If you're 555 then I'm 666, what's it like to be a heretic

Jinjer has got to be the most accurate-to-recording live band I've ever seen. Absolutely flawless.

We're at Newtown Street Festival today; you can find us outside the New World!

Some new handmade bookmarks that will be for sale this weekend at Newtown Festival

Monster successfully Hunted

You are magic ✨

Picking up my sculpting tools after a hiatus

I continue to make weird shit

I am absolutely delighted ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️! Kim commissioned me a Aestra doll from our friend @kayoss.bsky.social for Xmas. HER eyes!!! The expression!!!

Thought I'd feel more FOMO from not signing up for WCPF this year, but now I'm free to watch the #CriticalRole C3 finale livestream instead! Throwback to last year's event with this photo taken by @/havecamerawillsnap (IG) of my Prism Grimpoppy cosplay.

🌻🐝

A couple of December invoices paid through this week, so now I have tickets to Jinjer and Slipknot 🤘

Yeah, mood

Boosette and Chompette my beloveds 👻⛓️‍💥

Socks ARE great xmas gifts
