Yup, if you're a #cosplayer, I'm going to follow you.
Follow back, or don't, doesn't matter to me. I like to see what y'all are doing. It's great brain fuel.
Oh, I do this, just in case you weren't wondering before now:

I've mounted two pair of wings to the foam belt. I still have some decorating to do, paint, and three more pair of wings to attach to the skirt.
Come see my OC Butterfly Fairy Cosplay at Elko Pop Con!

Making templates for the many wings I've got to put on my butterfly fairy cosplay. There will be layers of sparkly goodness involved!

I'm delighted with these defined swallowtail curves! I used a basting spray to place 2mm foam shapes onto two layers of black faux suede. Turned right side out, ironed, then top stitched! Skirt allll floofy!
Next, making and attaching butterfly wings.

I made a paneled skirt for my original character butterfly fairy cosplay. So much floofiness. You can barely see where I'll be anchoring wings between the panels. Flounces and ruffles almost done! One more row.

Five people have already shown me this and it's not even 10AM! I think I'm being commanded to build this.
Wanna know why? I built this one back in 2017.

Might as well advertise my first coloring book publication! It's also how I'm learning video editing. My editing might just be crap....but the book sure isn't!

Let's ask this random #cosplay question while I wait for hot water to work it's magic on my cup'o'noodle:
Cosplayers, you're given 20 bucks and told you have to spend it on yourself, but NO cosplay supplies. How are you getting sneaky about it?
Comments on my lunch also welcome.

I'm doing a little coloring in my new coloring book! It's my first coloring publication. No regrets except I used the 99cent pencils. Don't do that. Kills your hands!
