Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Still alive!


We have about... abit more than a month till Anime Boston 2012. How many costumes can I make/finish in that time? hmmm, Well we're gonna find out.

The catch! I can't spend CRAZY amount of money on any of the costumes.

Now I do have a check list of all my dream cosplays that one day I will do... and no I'm not going in order. hahaha. So Far we've done.

Assassin

minus the hide blade sorry thats on comission from a friend. Again a wicked easy costume to wear! So much fun wearing that hood it makes everyday life soooo much more exciting!

Cost- $ 65

Jedi
I love wearing this because it is so easy to move and sit down in. I best star wars costume ever right here! again really bad face photo.

Cost - $70

Daphne Blake
(minus the shoes, I'm going with flats, those are five inch stripper heels and yes I do realize the strip is off.... >___>)

Cost- $25

Howl
Okay this is an AWFUL photo but you can see the jacket, white shirt and black pants. I did order I wig for this costume, only becuase I really don't want to cut my hair I'm trying to grow it out again.

I also am making the necklace and ring.

Cost $ 45

Mysterion
Again an awful photo of me!! Buuut you get the idea the only thing I'm missing is the ? on my head.  I was thinking of wearing my Harley Quinn mask.. tho that isn't very South Park.

South Park is one my all time favorite shows! We got most of this costume at GoodWill too. I made the gloves (dye them too) hood and cape.

I'd say cost $30

I challenge anyone to do a costume from Coon and Friends!!

So ya.... thats five costumes and no mandos! The plan at Anime Boston is to get a ton of great photos of ALL these costumes so I can finally have nice, detailed photos of my work.
-----

I also started making some little side projects too.
 Alright its REALLY kinda fun to draw in my face. mahahaha!

I was lurkin' on Craftster.com and I found this easy tutu for this Pinafore and I had some red left over from Howl's jacket lining (with was a cheap table cloth from good will) so I made this.

Not bad?
I've never made my own clothes before, its like wearing a costume all the time.

I'm gonna go cook dinner now.
But I leave you with a cute pic of Kobie Beef!
