StarsOfCassiopeia @ Spring Con Gauntlet 💪!

They replied but with an indefinite “We don’t know when”

😭

Got my earrings and pendant ready for molding! (And then promptly realized my Oomoo Part A had fully solidified, guess this is a tomorrow problem 😅)

Work smarter not harder: I'm getting so much mileage out of this little feather capelet, LOL. I made it for GloMas Malleus (TWST) that I'm nowhere close to finishing, but I've used it for Cardan Greenbriar already, and now we'll go again for Howl!

It's been 15 days and Spandex House still hasn't replied to my question about when a product will be back in stock :')

I hope you know the Lucky Star image CRACKED ME UP

Nothing is stopping you :))))))

I love the diamond jackets, but I've seen SO many of my friends do such a stellar job on that fancy style of them that I feel no need. I want the interpretation challenge!!

The most 5-min photoshop mockup to as a test to make sure I don't hate it (I love it)

Design plan: Rugby shirt (because again, Howl canonically plays rugby lol) with some subtle details that reference the book. Re-using my feather capelet from Cardan + sparkly broaches/dangles to mimic his room. Pants with BIG FLARE to mimic the late 70s - early 80s wide legs.

Do we see the vision?

I think you’ll be surprised by my direction hahaha

I hope you know this comment made my day 😂💖💖💖

A book-inspired Howl -- something a little different from the usual diamond jackets!

~*~ 🌟 ! COSPLAY BUILD THREAD: BOOK HOWL ! 🌟 ~*~

I've somehow never cosplayed Howl?? Unacceptable.

As much as I love the movie version, I want to do something a little different -- Howl canonically plays rugby and is from 1980s Wales, so we're working from that as our inspiration! 🪄

I also usually go to Unplugged and often run this there too, if you’ll make it!

Send me a DM after the show and I can get you that too. 👍

(Whoops gotta tag @animeboston.bsky.social ahahahaaaa 💖💖💖)

You’ll also get to keep all the components we use in class, so think of this as a way to jump-start
your next project! ⚡

What cosplays / props do you want to make light up? 🚨

(And if you can’t attend Anime Boston — which other conventions or events would you love to see me teach this class at? 🌎)

I’m offering TWO sessions of the same course, so you can join me either on FRIDAY April 3rd from
3-4:30, or SATURDAY April 4th from 5-6:30! 📅

Want pretty lights in your cosplay or gaming setup? Intimidated by electronics components and want a pro to walk you through it? I’ve revamped the electronics class I taught at MIT & I’m bringing it to Anime Boston! 💡

Take it from an attendee last year, this is a fun AND educational panel 😉

Thank you! 💖

And for the aspiring cosplayers and LARPers: how *do* I actually get these ideas out of my brain and onto my body? 😂

Worldweaving is one of my fav panels to run – I’m especially amped because I’m working on a bunch of historically-inspired designs right now, so look forward to new fun facts! 📖

We’ll deep dive into character design with a historical fashion lens: why does your video game character dress the way they do, and how does that create a first impression for others in your game? 🎮 How do real world cultures and crafts get spun into our fantastical tabletop tales? 🪡

The @officialpax.bsky.social PAX East schedule previews are live – and I hope I’ll see you on Saturday (10:30-11:30 in Bobcat) for Worldweaving: Tabletop and Textile History! 🌎

Are you headed to PAX? Which events are you most excited for? 👀✨

A close-up photo of cosplay accessories from a Disney's The Little Mermaid shoot. On the left, a pair of round purple sunglasses sits on the sand. A golden reflection of Ariel shows through a hole in the sand, her hand with sparkly nails reaching out to touch it. An ocean-themed charm bracelet dangles from her wrist.

I always love the little details of a costume, and @amiephotos.bsky.social always makes sure to capture them 💖

(I've been working on some jewelry for my upcoming costumes too so I wanted to show off this bracelet that basically no one ever sees!)

Not necessarily true! Email the coordinators, they may advise that you enter in another division. (You'd be awesome, you should compete if you're feeling excited about it!)

3D printing. It’s a great way to teach kids (and adults!) design & engineering skills. It can be useful for everything from home repair to Halloween costumes. Price points can be pretty accessible for FDM, enabling all kinds of people to be makers. The joy of creating, though? Priceless.

Cheeky nandos with the lads!!

(I missed this!!!!)

I'm so sad we'll miss you!!

I'm so excited to shoot him!!
