Orrr HakuokixHetalia orrrrrr FionaxFiona? XD Assisting shoot the day after Supanova.

Madman backstage~

Straw is the only Nana in the world for me. That is all.

Poison, Poison..Tasty fish!

Handsewing the face onto Miyu's present! Each eye was 1.3-saucepan-lid in diameter, with a speaker pupil and a nailpolish bottle shine. Compases and protractors are for those who did 3U Maths. Pfff.

Also the new toy filling was full of weird dust and thread, and gave me an awful rash - compared to some old stuffing I had from 2005 which was much softer and smoother. Note to self.. young people these days!!

oldschool shennanigans

The making of Tala! Aka Mr Squeaky. Of course COSMODE had to release a pattern for a bodysuit after I'm done painstakingly tailoring one..! Ah well, c'est la vie

Strangely this makes me want to go to Lock Up..

Chopping shirt for Synchro! And now recycling the leftovers for Madman~ Lol been learning from cooking philosophy to not waste ingredients.

MOHO

Working on a certain outfit♥ The cut of a woman, the size of a man = LOL. Although it's reassuring to have a paper pattern, mom taught me to sew by copying and adjusting from existing clothes. Now if I could only find a place that's not sold out of white diamante..!

Hair bag!

Trimmings

In progress (for once)

This design is really.. odd. Odd in that I think whoever made it needs to consider that the human torso can't go on forever and must end in some legs eventually =_=

Red Black (white) Day

Straw was kind enough to come over for an impromptu White Day shoot (kuro+reborn) and to teach me her cupcake icing recipe *_*

We ended the day with cupcake smooshing ♥

Happy birthday, Madmad!!

Prince of Tennis shoot for Mad's birthday. Natsukashiiii! This studio was for wedding photography, I really love it. Anyways Mad congrats on becoming OLD!

Scenes from a ROM

First shoot for our BASARA (Sasuke+Yukimura) mini-rom. It'll be a sengoku vs school original story. I'm extremely nervous but excited.Thankyou for being our cameko at short notice, Minami!! Please look forward to it, everyone!

Spent the night sketching Basara with Straw till ****a.m.! So fun but dying LOL. It's been 2 years since I've properly drawn eeeeek 6_9

WHY DANNA WHY?????

NO DANGO

I.....cannot draw Masamune.

And done previously~ Ninninnintama! I love the not-twins!


Alternate brokeback mountain school teen angst trying-to-draw-Tsunako-style!!

If Sasuke and Kasuga grew up together *A*;;
Then Sasuke tells her he's leaving to Sanada~
The next time they meet they'll be enemies.
(Also Kasuga's boobs will have grown out heh)

Zepyhr studio

Setting up at Zephyr studio for Reborn and Kuro school shoot. My first time in a 'classroom'....!

Toshimaen!

Taking a look at the Japanese cosplay scene again! Doing make(up) at Toshimaen event, a theme park. Yep, we're all crowded in park benches around the giant empty pool. In Japan changing and makeup is strictly confined to the areas they've set up. This is why a mirror is essential (the more the better..)! It's pretty scary that Japanese can still do their makeup well in such awful lighting conditions.

Being a GIRL is hard work

I love spring! I love feathers *A* Also I can't remember if those flowers were poisonous or not hahaha.
Lately been interested looking at the differences between girl/guy makeup. Eye shape, eyebrow shape, lips, nose, cheeks, etc.... And then the posing..!

SMASH

Working hard on SMASH artwork! Nana redesigned from last year. Too many inaccurate bits and generic poses...need to find my small scissors.

Being emperor is hard work

From our Mutuality shoot! Thankyou for inviting me, Christie!!

one, two, three, four, five, six, nine and ten

Decorations from my FMA military jacket, taken off so I can wash the rain, sand and sweat out of the uniform (haha). When making this outfit I was mildly panicking that I didn't have that moment when you see the character coming out of the mess of fabric and pins (and tape and blood). Luckily it pinged when I took up the jacket hem by 2 inches! Unfortunately I don't have a pic of the finished product, but you can oogle the gorgeous braid that Straw did for me on the way to the shoot ;)

Start to Finish!

I love wafuku TAT;; First time using a COSmode pattern. Added 2 inches to everything, but it's still too short! I wish COSmode had a size guide like Layers.. Ah well, took time to study the pattern to try and waste less fabric.

Nanyanen

Dollar stores are the best for props! In preparation..

masamasamasa

Found masks in Chatswood!

Minami wa Minami-jin desu.

Useless fact about Japan - everyone gets shuffled into the same room to change. It's like a big human carpark with rows and rows of half-dressed girls crammed between suitcases. So either you be gaijin and hide in the corner and try to change beneath a big jacket when noone's looking or just give up and embrace the half-nakedness.

Guess which type Minami is ♥

Mauser-saan

Haine's gun in the toy store Yamashiroya. If only this could get through customs..!
