My First Con

Someone should remind me what comes of doing three cosplays in one week. 

This is a very belated post--from 2013--for the sake of recording all of my con-going history. 

I hope that you find this almost cute in the way you would look at a child learning how to walk instead of a silly cosplayer being way too ambitious. 

I had been planning on attending Anime Matsuri in 2013 for about three months in advance. But, as usual, I procrastinated. I did not start my cosplays until spring break. That gave me five days. 

I focused most of my time on my Steampunk Rose Lalonde. 

Day 1: 

Knitted some of the scarf. 

I painted part of her Grimiore. 

Sewed part of the tutu. 

Then, I decorated some goggles that just came in. I thought they were going to not come in on time. 

And then made a wrist piece out of an old corset. 

I was exhausted. Quite ready for a nap. I planned everything out except for time to sleep. 

Day two: 

I got the corset and finished the tutu. 

I remember these boots taking far too long to paint. 

Day 3: 

Finished the goggles and top hat!

… and gas mask. Yes. Gas mask.

Half way done with the belt….

Cut up boots that I will glue onto my old pointe shoes. 

And part of a corset… 

…and you can see 1/2 of the goggles I am making in the bottom. 

Day 4 and 5 were not well documented, unfortunately. 

However, these are the turnout photos from the con: 

Friday: 

Saturday: 

Credit for photo goes to Crunchy Ramen. 

Sunday: 

I had such a lovely time even though my feet hurt so much by the end of the day. 

It is save to say that I have improved quite a bit since these photos. But, the cramming was fun. 

Thank you for reading, love. Have a lovely day.
