If you know, you know.

Ribbon #1 for ALA. I will also have a large excess for Fanfest

Ordered a stack of ribbons for ALA. It's been a while; hadn't realized how much it costs 😅

I have a couple ideas for another set to hand out, but I'll need to decide soon.

Also good motivation to make repairs and updates to Emet. December is going to disappear before I know it.

Halloweening a day late in that lazy cosplayer style. You know you're at a cosplayer party when everyone's lazy costume is still better than what you'd see at a work party.

I wasn't in Emet-Selch for long on Saturday at Anime Impulse, but it was worth it for the absolute pleasure of meeting @colin-ryan.bsky.social (Alphinaud), Robert (Estinien), and Jason (Haurchefant). All were so sweet to the fans, even with 2 being crazy jetlagged.

Doing a bit of a makeup test while I sew (just in case I do finish). Mostly it's a test of how strong eyelash glue is and if I can avoid touching my forehead.

The glue is holding on, but I've been almost touching my face every ten minutes

We are finding out if I can complete this before Saturday. Finishing this bolero coat section was a big step, but I still have some important things to creatively finagle my way through. Like a standing collar with trim on all sides and somehow floating in the front 🙃

Looking at this hairstyle I need to cut into my wig - it's basically a bob.

One of the biggest FF villains...and he has a bob cut.

I will never look at him the same way again

Want a Rush Order for DragonCon? Now’s your chance!

FYI I have updated my KPDH score to 8.5, so there's no need to call me out to the parking lot

The best thing you can do for a small business when you can't financially support is to tell someone about it!

Many people I talk to say they would have used Lumikha #Cosplay Resale sooner to buy/sell secondhand if they had known about it. Please help to keep spreading the word💖

It's everywhere...

Secret wine dad lining in progress

Matching paint to resin color has been a trial, but this is close (finally)

The more I piece together this outfit, the less it makes sense

The irony of being on the floor putting together a sewing desk/cabinet so I don't have to be on the floor is not lost on me. Or my back

CINEMA

I've been bad at finding motivation to cosplay the past few years, so I'm going to attempt to hold myself accountable by posting next year's plan. Diving into villains with a character my tired body and droopy eyes are a good fit for - Emet-Selch from Final Fantasy XIV
