The River of the Heavens ✨ A stunning source of inspiration for my Amaterasu cosplay design. Bringing celestial vibes to life! 🌌🌟 #OkamiCosplay #AmaterasuCosplay #CosplayInspo

I feel like get off meta re:insta will be the hardest!

Lovely snowy day ❄️ Finally got the part I needed to fix my embroidery machine, and Yumigami is now embroidered! 🌕🐇 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

Starting the week with some inspiration from The Wicked + The Divine. The divine energy and bold visuals are the perfect creative fuel for a Monday. ✨🌟 #CosplayInspo #TheWickedAndTheDivine #CreativeFuel

So happy with how the Bakugami embroidery turned out! 🐗✨ Even after a major snafu and an hour picking out threads. It’s a shame these are just underwear and won’t be seen, but I’m determined to represent every god! 🌟 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

I haven’t been posting much, but I’ve definitely been working! Nearly 70 hours logged on my Amaterasu cosplay so far—here’s a peek at the progress. 🐾✨ #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

Because I clearly hate myself, I’m embroidering turkey work along the edges of this ‘wing’ for a wispy, drawn feel. The thread fades from black to white—so worth it for the artistic okami vibe! 🎨✨ #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

This looks so good!!! Cane to ask your process but it’s already in the comments 🥰

Not thrilled about the fraying threads, but also kind of love it. Hand embroidery adds imperfections that echo the hand-drawn style of Okami. 🎨🐾 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

Amaterasu cosplay WIP: working on these paw tufts to go in the sleeve seams! Slowly bringing the spirit of Okami to life. 🐾🎨 #CosplayProgress #OkamiCosplay #Amaterasu

a bunch of drawn diagrams of hand stretches. the text at the top reads MAKE TIME TO STRETCH! it shows wrist extensions and flexions, with the arm straight out and hand palm out with the hand gently stretched up and down. the same stretches with the hand in a fist. the same stretch but with the palm against a wall. a stretch of pressing your palms together with wrists parallel to the ground and slowly lowering the heels of the palms. and a gentle shaking out of the hands.

since this will always be circulating, i might as well be the first one to put it here: the stretch tips i made many years ago… remember to stop and stretch and take care of your hands! be mindful of your work time & listen to your body.

This looks SO good! I love the fur trim detail!

After nearly a week off for family and friends, I’m back to work on my Amaterasu cosplay! 🐾✨ Planning out some details today. Also snuck in fresh ice time on Thanksgiving before anyone else showed up! ❄️⛸ #CosplayProgress #AmaterasuCosplay #ThanksgivingFun

I’ve been too busy for cosplay projects lately, but we took a break today to pick out our Christmas tree! 🎄🐾 #Christmas #DogLife #CosplayerLife

Ahh ok! I kept picturing like a backpack harness get up rather than just some ties.

Getting some serious Belle vibes during our Christmas photo session 🎄📚✨ Feeling like I just stepped out of a fairytale! #Cosplay #BeautyAndTheBeast #HolidayMagic #CosplayChristmas

Tips on how to not let a heavy cloak-type piece choke you to death? 😅 I figure velcro or snaps to shoulders but won’t that just pull the shoulders back?

Ahh that siren song of future cosplans

Love it! Just started watching Vox actually 😅 How did you approach the chain mail?

My handsome Collie-flower boy 🌸🐾

Since our dogs couldn’t attend the wedding, we’re doing a special photoshoot! I made this floral collar to match our wedding theme, and he’s ready to be the perfect flower boy. Can’t wait to see these pics! 💐✨

Every great cosplay starts with a good helper! My loyal sidekick taking a well-deserved break while I plan the next big project. 🖤🐾 Inspiration comes in all shapes, sizes, and fur patterns!
