I finished the censer for #Vaelus! The file is from @dangerousladies.ca and was super easy to work with, it even opens!

They look a little silly with pajama pants but I did get the thigh garters finished for the boots and the buckles added

I finished applying the gold leaf to the censer for #Vaelus! I've used this method for Crocodile's hook but this was so much harder, it's a very complex shape. I need to buff it and seal it still so this isn't the finished sheen

I got the boot covers for #Vaelus done! Next step is adding the buckle on the feet and making the thigh garters then I'll have the legs fully finished

I am currently very invested in Critical Role Campaign 4. With some stuffed animals I already had and scrap fabric I made my own Pin! The only thing I had to buy was the button eyes. It was a very fun side project

I also apparently played thread chicken for the buttonholes. I finished the last one and went back to grab the thread for hand sewing and saw this, lol. Thankfully, I can hand sew my finishes with a different thread, but if I had run out sooner, it would have been a big problem

Vest is sewn, buttons holes are done. I need to hand sew closed the lining and sew these 8 buttons on then the vest will be finished

Next step is cutting into the actual fabric which is probably the worst part of it all

Started work on the vest, I had to make two mock ups (I didn't do a lining for the second) because the hips were so off, but I believe I'm happy with the fit now

The fit of them, I left the hips pretty loose so I can have my wallet or phone in my pocket and it not be super noticeable

Jaskiers pants just need to be hemmed and a hook and eye added, then they're done!

The buttons arrived today, I love them. They're probably a tiny bit big, but I really wanted that flower detail

Got in #Jaskier vest fabric! I drew the design and sent it in to Fabric on Demand to be printed on cotton twill. It's a little more muted than I wanted, but I was expecting the colors not to be exact. I'm just thrilled the design came out great and seems to be the right size

I've only seen the live action of One Piece, but my friend absolutely loves it and wanted to cosplay The Cross Guild, so here I am making Crocodile and his hook. I 3d printed it, smoothed it, and applied gold leaf for this very shiny result

I had my dad help me rig some lighting for the eyes because what I had previously wasn't working for long enough. Will this be better? I'll find out at Kamicon

Got a decent amount done today! The next step is hand sewing the collar closed, so a good time for a break

I picked up pant fabric for Jaskier from The Witcher S2 and washed his shirt fabric (it has subtle little dandelions). I've been slowly getting the stuff for him when I can because there's a lot of sewing involved and that's not my strong suit so each piece takes a lot of time and energy for me

Picked up the fabric for Astarions shirt attempt number two and got it prewashed. It's a 90% cotton 10% linen blend and I'm very excited to see how it turns out

The hoodies I made for two of my friends this year! The Stardew Valley one had so many colors of thread to change. It turned out so cute and was worth it though. The back of Buggys is a little splotchy in sunlight, but I'm very new to screenprinting and still learning

I made my friend a Buggy hoodie for the holidays and I always test my embroidery before putting it on clothing so they get a little Buggy patch as well because I have no need for it

I cut out 2mm foam for the waistband pattern and added heat n bond to the fabric, sandwiched the foam in between and ironed it closed to create a fun textured effect

I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's mostly a functional prop so I can have my phone and wallet on me seeing as Astarion doesn't have pockets

I 3d printed some details and painted everything. Last step was gluing it all on and adding magnets to the hindge pieces
The files are from WolfwithSword on printables resized to fit my needs

I'm making the Necromancy of Thay for #Astarion! I started out with a fake book (so it can hold stuff) cut out some holes in the front for lights to shine through and glued amethyst crystals over it. Made the face shape with foam clay. Added hot glue and tissue paper with modge podge for texture

Got the little fabric parts sewn today. All that's left now is just the detail stitches that also attach everything together
