I got my outfit and accessories finished and didn’t have to do any really last minute things. I don’t consider the weekend before as last minute no matter what Rob says 🙂 I made the pearl necklace, the earrings, and the purse. I strung the pearl beads on crochet cotton and added an old-fashioned looking…

Halloween 2023
I chose my costume last month, and decided on a 1950s housewife. I already had a dress, and thought this will be fun and fairly easy. I ordered shoes that are not exactly right for the costume, but will be wearable at another time. I made a pearl necklace, because it is an absolute must-have…
Halloween 2022 Steampunk
OK, here is everything all put together. I did my foundation make-up pale on purpose. It didn’t work the way I was hoping. But it was pretty cool
Steampunk Hat
I made the hat that went with the steampunk theme I decided on for Halloween. The first issue was printing the pattern. I printed it, and cut out the pieces of paper, laid them out on the EVA foam, cut that, and started to put it together. It was incredibly small. It fit in the…
Elf Hat
I made this for Christmas 2022. Everyone makes Santa hats, so I made an elf hat. It was cute, but I think I will change the bell next time. It gave me a headache. It banged on the back of the hat with every step, and the sound of the bell wasn’t what I was…
Steampunk Boots
I decided on a steampunk theme for my Halloween costume last year. I bought most of the parts to it but made my hat and decorated the boots. I love what I did I will post a picture when I remember how to resize it. Craziness I went to a local donation store and got…
Cube
I started doing a tiny bit of cosplay. I cut out 6 squares to try and make a cube. I really need to work on my cutting technique, two of my squares have a warped side 🙁 I think I will be more enthusiastic about doing cosplay when I get better at the cutting, gluing,…
Sphere
Still working on the basics, but haven’t been doing much. Here is my first sphere, not too bad, hmmm? Except the other size didn’t quite work out the same. I need to figure out why they didn’t fit on both sides 🙁 Although, this could end up being a mace 🙂
Cosplay Practice
Worked more on the basics. My first triangle shape was with 4mm gray foam, and the second was with 6mm white foam. Here on the first, I hand sanded the sides down to the 45(ish) degree angle. It didn’t look quite right. I need more practice on piecing it together without the gaps in the…
Cosplay Update
I’m sorry I haven’t posted for a while. OK, a few months. I was affected by the Covid Blues. But now I’m better and back to doing cool things. As I mentioned in the last post, I was very disappointed in my Halloween costume. I felt that I was incapable of making anything Cosplay related….
