Comic Con Baltics

Comic Con Baltics

I promised a big report from Comic Con Baltics. I was sooo excited to go, and I spent so much time in the days leading up to preparing for the event. This was a convention that was planned for 2020, then got changed to 2021, then moved a third time to this year. So...

Leaving on a jetplane

Leaving on a jetplane

After a couple of slightly stressful weeks, the day has come when I'm heading to Lithuania for Comic Con Baltics! It's very rare that I need to travel in ways where I have to limit my packing - I'm used to filling up our stationcar to the brim! But I managed to fit...

The struggles of pattern making

The struggles of pattern making

Years ago, I made my first Rapunzel cosplay. I really like her character - she's a Disney princess, but she's got a mind of her own, she gets stuff done, she is really clever and very creative. When Eugene proposed to her, she actually said no - twice - because she...

Spreading the word of cosplay

Spreading the word of cosplay

So a couple of days ago, I was talking with a customer on the phone at work, and he ended the call with: "Saw that interview with you, that cosplay thing you do is pretty cool!"  Since I had no idea the interview was posted (or, indeed, was sure which one it was) I...

Gamebox Festival 2022

Gamebox Festival 2022

Yesterday I got back from the first ever Gamebox Festival and man, what an impressive first event that was! I attended as part of the group that hosted the Cosplay Lounge - The Warcrafters. We brought our exhibit and also helped out other cosplayers at the event. It...

Elune gallery

Elune gallery

Just a quick post to tell that I made a page for my Elune photos in the gallery section. I haven't done a full photoshoot of her yet, but I will soon - so far I just have some hall shots from Scificon. You can see them here:  

Sci-fi-con Randers 2022

Sci-fi-con Randers 2022

I spent this weekend at Sci-fi-con Randers (Denmark). It was a 2-day event with around 3000 visitors. I had an absolutely amazing weekend and it was a great event to kick off my 2022 cosplay season. The cosplay contest at this con is a bit different from the usual...

Videos!

Videos!

Just a short update - I've added a new section to my page with videos. Find it in the menu or right here! This is for all kinds of videos, but at the moment it only has my Youtube videos embedded. Hopefully I'll add more content along the way.  Enjoy!

Sentinel’s Spellblade: Done! ✓

Sentinel’s Spellblade: Done! ✓

Just another small update (yes, two in one day!) - I also finished my Sentinel's Spellblade! I will also be bringing this to Sci-fi-con. I plan to wear my Moonpriest on Sunday, and I will probably bring the sword instead of the staff - or maybe I'll bring both and...

New Cosplay!

New Cosplay!

So I was working slooowly on Galadriel - which is still on the table - but I knew I wouldn't be able to learn how to work with metal in time for my conventions next month - Sci-fi-con on April 1st-2nd and Gamebox Festival 22nd-24th. Last year, I got married and I made...

Motivation, where did you go?

Motivation, where did you go?

I can't believe the first 2 months of 2022 have already passed, and I have nothing to show for it cosplay-wise. I had thought I would've done a lot by now, but my motivation is still kind of lacking. I find myself shifting from project to project and not finishing...

Galleries Galore!

Galleries Galore!

My web-page is ever-growing and the last few days, I've been adding loads of cosplay photos to my gallery! I have an overall page where I try to add one photo of each cosplay I ever did and also separate galleries for each of those cosplays with more photos. Find the...

Workshop decor

Workshop decor

For many years, I was renting one crappy apartment after the next in one of the big cities of my country (Denmark). The one thing I really disliked about it was the boring, white walls. Since I always had a feeling of it being a temporary home, I never painted or did...

Sentinel’s Spellblade progress

Sentinel’s Spellblade progress

Somehow after New Year's my crafty motivation came back. I'm not sure if it's the prospect of days getting longer and warmer, new conventions or just the fact that finally, the worst of the pandemic seems to be over. But regardless of the reason, I'm really happy....

New write-up: Moonpriest

New write-up: Moonpriest

Sometimes I start cosplays and don't finish them. I think all cosplayers have tried loosing motivation half-way through a project. It sucks, because you've wasted time and materials and got nothing to show for it. That's how it was with my Moonpriest cosplay. I...

New video: Wigs on long hair

New video: Wigs on long hair

I get so many questions about how I put on wigs on with my long hair, so I figured I'd make a video about it. It's just my way of doing it  - not necessarily the most correct way, but this is my preferred method, and most of the time it works without giving headaches...
