There's two days left until Koyocon, and I'm slowly starting to notice my nerves stirring. I'm not joining as a regular con-goer this year, but rather as part of the event team. My duties includes taking pictures with semi-professional equipment and hosting a prop...
Busy cosplay winter
Winter is usually down-season for most cosplayers - not for me, though! I'm working hard on my Valeera Sanguinar costume, which I'm planning on finishing by May 2015 (I know, looong time away, but this is a big project for me). I'm also working on a steampunk Cubone...
New photos, new galleries!
I have made use of the fact that the weather outside is good enough for photos these days! I have added three new pages to my gallery - one containing pictures from the WoW dragon photoshoot (will be updated with more pictures soon!), one with photos of Giselle...
Ysera and Alexstrasza in the spotlight
It's been a long time coming - here's Ysera in all her finished glory, along with my cosplay partner's Alexstrasza. Soon, I'll hopefully have more photos to show - due to the body paint, editing is taking a bit extra time. But the result is worth the wait, I think!...
Outdoor photoshoots and the Danish summer
I've been wanting to get some proper photos of Ysera ever since finishing her. There has been many reasons why I haven't - the weather has been too cold, I haven't had a photographer, I didn't have an airbrush - many, many reasons. At last, I thought I had it all...
“How do you get such long hair?”
This question. That right there - I can't say how many times I've been asked that! Random strangers stop me in the street to ask if they can touch my hair (which, btw, is kind of creepy, so don't do that, please!). I figured with so many curious people, maybe i should...
SVScon 2014
First weekend of May brought on SVScon 2014 and the debut of my Ysera cosplay. I participated in no less than 2 cosplay contests with it. There was a new contest, which was only announced a month before the convention, and at that point, I wasn't sure I would be able...
Cosplay bags
I'm a real girl when it comes to carrying a bag or purse or whatever you want to call it - I just can't go anywhere without my wallet, pocket knife, phone, keys, a pen, glue, batteries and whatever else one might need on the go. It's the same at a convention - maybe...
Cosplay and 2nd hand shopping
There are many different kinds of cosplayers out there - from casuals to perfectionist - and I'm pretty sure we all agree on one thing: Cosplay is an expensive hobby! I am myself a perfectionist with most costumes. I spend whole years on a costume and pay $200+ for my...
Christmas and the end of 2013
December - and with it, the year - is almost over, and here is my last post of the year. A lot has happened this year - I finished my first huge costume project, started on the 2nd huge project and finished a few smaller ones. This was my first "real" cosplay year -...
Koyocon, birthday and dragonladies
I rarely update my blog here, but when I do, I guess I will do it with many topics, haha. Well, first of all, I went to the first-ever Koyocon (which isn't spelled with regular o's, but whatever). It was small, it was intimate, it was fun and I liked it! 🙂 Not the...
Photoshoot and DKos feature!
Here's some slightly old - but good - news! I recently had a photoshoot with a photographer from DKos magazine, who did a small feature of my druid cosplay! Read the entire magazine right here! Picture credit to the awesome Zarsu.dk :)...
Messy webpage
Just a short message to explain why my webpage is a bit weird and changes all the time these days - trying to make a new layout, even though I don't really have time for it, so I'm just doing it on off every once in a while, and I am too lazy to work on a development...
The Genki 2013 experience
Genki was the first con I participated in for more than just 1 day. And I have to say, it was quite a different experience than my other cons because of it. It had pros and cons. It was fun waking up and seeing people prepare for the day by adding wigs and paint and...
Ysera status and life in general
I have been working almost non-stop on Ysera to get her done in time for Genki con this coming weekend. I'd get up early, work a little while having my breakfast and getting ready for work, go to work with Ysera in my head all day, go straight home and work on my...
A post on casting resin
Often when picking materials for my costumes, I go for the cheapest possible solutions. I did that as well when I made my druid costume, and bought the cheapest resin I could find at that time, which was this one: Sadly, it was a case of cheap not being as good as the...
