Long time no update but there's been a lot of happenings lately - and happy ab that!!
I created a Bao Sanniang (From Dynasty Warriors 7) cosplay for this year's Assembly BatMud Cosplay competition.
It was created in less than 2 weeks and....
It was my first time doing:
- a wig
- a sword of finfoam (which was a long helly road :DD)
- covering my tattoos
- using an illegal amount of hot glue.
When creating costumes I really love the creativity, problem solving and new fun it gives me!
I was wondering one day how much this hobby absorbs my income:
- A piece of finfoam 14,70€
- 3400 pieces of wooden and plastic pearls 66€
- textiles (recycled not counted) 43€
- paints 12€
- creative foams 5,40€
- satin ribbons, many meters 64€
- shoes 9,90 € (yay sale!)
- gloves 10€
- feathers (most not used....) 16€
- wig 24€
- sprays 9,90€
-lenses 24€
- lashes 6€
- cover paint 5,60€
- hot glue and gun, knives 34€
= 344,5 € ..... ABOUT and still loving it!

I didn't enjoy Assembly this year and didn't feel that there was anything really interesting that should be experienced live. So I spent even 4 hours on my computer seat playing Diablo.... and went to Central photoshooting my cosplay. - Yes, then I went home, for the whole weekend.
It was rainy but I think that kind of weather is legendary and epic for this cosplay
