The River of the Heavens ✨ A stunning source of inspiration for my Amaterasu cosplay design. Bringing celestial vibes to life! 🌌🌟 #OkamiCosplay #AmaterasuCosplay #CosplayInspo

Lovely snowy day ❄️ Finally got the part I needed to fix my embroidery machine, and Yumigami is now embroidered! 🌕🐇 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

Starting the week with some inspiration from The Wicked + The Divine. The divine energy and bold visuals are the perfect creative fuel for a Monday. ✨🌟 #CosplayInspo #TheWickedAndTheDivine #CreativeFuel

So happy with how the Bakugami embroidery turned out! 🐗✨ Even after a major snafu and an hour picking out threads. It’s a shame these are just underwear and won’t be seen, but I’m determined to represent every god! 🌟 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

I haven’t been posting much, but I’ve definitely been working! Nearly 70 hours logged on my Amaterasu cosplay so far—here’s a peek at the progress. 🐾✨ #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

Because I clearly hate myself, I’m embroidering turkey work along the edges of this ‘wing’ for a wispy, drawn feel. The thread fades from black to white—so worth it for the artistic okami vibe! 🎨✨ #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

Not thrilled about the fraying threads, but also kind of love it. Hand embroidery adds imperfections that echo the hand-drawn style of Okami. 🎨🐾 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

Amaterasu cosplay WIP: working on these paw tufts to go in the sleeve seams! Slowly bringing the spirit of Okami to life. 🐾🎨 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

since this will always be circulating, i might as well be the first one to put it here: the stretch tips i made many years ago… remember to stop and stretch and take care of your hands! be mindful of your work time & listen to your body.

After nearly a week off for family and friends, I’m back to work on my Amaterasu cosplay! 🐾✨ Planning out some details today. Also snuck in fresh ice time on Thanksgiving before anyone else showed up! ❄️⛸ #CosplayProgress #AmaterasuCosplay #ThanksgivingFun

I’ve been too busy for cosplay projects lately, but we took a break today to pick out our Christmas tree! 🎄🐾 #Christmas #DogLife #CosplayerLife

Getting some serious Belle vibes during our Christmas photo session 🎄📚✨ Feeling like I just stepped out of a fairytale! #Cosplay #BeautyAndTheBeast #HolidayMagic #CosplayChristmas

My handsome Collie-flower boy 🌸🐾

Since our dogs couldn’t attend the wedding, we’re doing a special photoshoot! I made this floral collar to match our wedding theme, and he’s ready to be the perfect flower boy. Can’t wait to see these pics! 💐✨
