Introduction post: this account will primarily post work-in-progress updates and finished photos of the costumes and props that I build, as well as stuff from conventions I attend. I mostly do work for myself, but have lately been taking on more commission work.
A couple of one-day builds to get ready for the work Halloween event. I'm mostly assembling a closet costume, but I couldn't possibly not add a bit of flair. This is not a pipe. This is a pipe-shaped object.

Thanks to @gravesandgenealogy.bsky.social for these beautiful shots of the custom cloak clasps ready to ship out.

These were a commission for a fellow cosplayer that we designed together. I etched the designs into steel, dished them using3D printed dies, and riveted-on the fittings.

I'm doing a small commission for some custom LOTR-inspired cloak clasps. I wasn't sure if my 3D printed dies would be able to dish the steel this much, but it was no problem at all. I'm so happy with how they're coming out!

This past week I should have been working on my costume for Chicago TARDIS, but instead I played with metal. Among other things, I molded and cast a piece of Rohan hardware that I have been dreaming about for a decade. Then I copper plated it, and finally brass plated it.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

Guys thank you for allowing me to fly you to my private island. Have fun but please respect my boundaries vis a vis minors trafficking. That’s just for me, sorry. Help yourself to ANYTHING in the fridge tho
Kash Patel says the FBI has NO information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself.

SEN. KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"

PATEL: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals."

Super pleased with how the colour on the wool turned out! Greys are so tricky to dye because they read so differently depending on lighting or neighboring colours, but I’m very happy with this!

This is Meeting The Moment, from Pritzker.

Please watch this 90-second clip.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

The Aragorn coronation vambraces are complete and polished! I learned so much from this build, and I can't wait to make another pair or a related piece again someday.

I'm so tired of being told not to be distracted. I'm still pissed they didn't make him release his tax return in 2016. I am just adding more to the list, not being distracted. WTF am I supposed to do with the knowledge of all these crimes I'm not being distracted from? 🤬

I recently had to start a buckle project over when the person I'm making them for noticed he had sent me the wrong model. I thought the melting buckles would look cool, so I decided to film the whole process.

An impressive #Roman cavalry helmet with a face mask that was made of iron and plated with silver (Nijmegen-Kops Plateau type). The mask was attached to the iron helmet, which was covered with horse hair showing an elaborate and highly decorative hairstyle. 🧵 1/2

With a recent successful shipment to Australia, my creations have now ended up in at least eight different countries representing three continents. I just think that's cool.

(I did have a shipment waylaid in El Salvador for a while on the way to the UK, but I don't think I can count that.)

I'm still waiting for any of those who say "woke" as a pejorative to define what "woke" means to them and why it's so frightening to them.

I logged in to Pinterest for the first time in a long time, and the first image in my feed is my own photo of my own costume that someone else uploaded with no credit or link back to me. 🙃

Here's the truth.

You can't stand with trans people and take a gig with Rowling. It is impossible. You can make donations, you can issue statements of support, but at the end of the day you are choosing to work with the single most prominent transphobe who uses her money and platform to harm us.

I knew having a garden was going to be enjoyable for us, but I never considered how exciting it was for the vegetables.
