I’m in my slump, so I haven’t been working on anything. I’ve been really feeling the 1 year in quarantine thing, meaning that I suppose I’m mourning? I guess I was in denial for so long at the onset of quarantine that I didn’t process it fully, but now that we’re passing by dates of what would’ve been a convention or another social gathering, it’s really hitting hard. It’s got me questioning so much. I won’t get too depressing here, but it’s been tough. I don’t like being in these slumps because I’d much rather push through and see something, but if I do in this mindset, I just get discouraged and frustrated quickly. Instead, I’m trying to work on other tasks: organizing laundry, cleaning my bathroom, general housekeeping tasks. Everyday things that make a visual difference. So really, I don’t have much to share right now. I’m just here and trying to be okay with that.

My Spooky Peach cosplay is a year old! 👑😈 This time last year—before the Plague Times—I was con-crunching HARD to complete this before @c2e2 and wound up hand-sewing snaps in my hotel room the night before I wore it. But I love it to bits nonetheless! 💜 There were so many new challenges that had to be tackled to complete this (like first learning to work with resin), and while I don’t consider the garments themselves “perfect,” I think it’s pretty damn close! I am planning on fixing it and adding some final touches I didn’t have time to complete last year, and hoping to wear her once again to a convention soon 😭

Taking a break from working on the Midnight redo to focus on another costume remake: my Renaissance Faire witch ✨🔮 I’m making an Irish dress (though I know it’s not *entirely* historically accurate) simply for the fact that I can make it adjustable. My original witch costume outer layers—which are the best and the skirt—no longer fit me well as I made those long before gaining some quarantine pounds 🙃 So last year I decided that it might be a good idea to make something that could be adjustable depending on whatever my current body shape and size from year to year. Thus: the Irish dress. Since this is also a spiritual successor to my first costume, it’ll be made out of the same linen suiting as the previous one (I absolutely LOVE this material), and it’ll have more minute embroidery details that will be inspired by belladonna flowers 🥀 This weekend, I got together a bodice mock-up to see which size I’ll need and now that that’s determined, I’m gonna start cutting the outer layers and begin the long process of embroidering. Yay 😑 This was a good tattoo recovery project, too.
