Lots on the Plate Next

  I was thinking about it and realized how much I have to do next. Goodness. I have plans for at least two conventions this summer, and at least three cosplays to make/ put together.

Cons that I hope to go to:
A-Kon - This might be the only chance I get to go, so if I get permission to go, I'm going. If I don't, I'm hoping to go to the alternative.
Delta H Con - The alternative. It's small and the passes and Artist tables are inexpensive, but I'll be able to go to it in the future more than I will A-Kon, which is why I had to make the choice.
San Japan - I better fricken go. This convention is like prom for me, and you know how much normal girls have at prom. Plus Airship Isabella AND We *Heart* Cardgames is going. Incentive!

Cosplays in need of being worked on:

Ryoko Subaru from Martian Successor Nadesico

   Is it sad that I'm mostly excited to be her because she has green hair making her be the first unnatural hair coloured character I'll ever be? Besides the fact of how much I relate to her and love her character. For most of the series she's really strong and, well, kinda mean, but then there are parts in the series where she's kind of unsure about herself. Mainly referencing to the talent show episode where she gets the feeling of utter uselessness, something I definitely often relate to.
My to-do's on this one are:

• Finish cutting and dyeing the wig
• Buy black fabric
• Get some craft foam for shoes and shoulder pads

Taiwan from Axis Powers Hetalia

  I'm sure if you've followed me on Youtube or DeviantART prior to this you'll have known that I was going to be Greece. Well I switched. The reason being that we actually got a new member of our cosplay family who made a way better Greece than I did, and I felt the need to switch. After thinking long and hard, I decided that I really wanted ridiculous pink sleeves and after looking up a bit on Taiwan, I figured that I really liked her. Plus this means that I can still be paired with Japan, because I'm cool like that, and I love Japan (hence the picture).
To-do's:

• Buy all fabric
• Make flower hair pieces
• Find some cheap flats

 First Mate Navigator Meriel Starseer

I'm sure some are like, "Wait-what?" Meriel is my steampunk character, and proud navigator of the All-Aborg Crew. Happily serving under Captain Bells, former daughter of an upper class elf family flies through the skies in denial of her prior life.
Lots to do on this girl:

• Make Goggles
• Aquire or make jewelry
• finish fixing vest
• Aquire or make shirt and trousers
• Aquire weapons
• Aquire telescope (not picture)
• Aquire and make all other accessories

Mystery Final Fantasy Cosplay

I'm still keeping this girl under wraps for now, when San Japan draws closer, I'll release her information.   But i can say that I'm excited about both the construction of and being her. She's been one of my favourite characters since before I even played the game, so that's saying something I think.
To do: Practically everything

• Style wig
• Buy/order fabrics
• Make weapon and accessories
• Find shoes to use as a base for the shoes

That's pretty much the left and right of my summer plans, I hope to get a job in there somewhere.Thankfully the hardest thing is gonna be my Final Fantasy girl, lots of hand stitching and making sure things look good. I'm hoping to enter the cosplay contest at San Japan with that one. Also if I have time this summer, I really want to make myself an "Elven Princess" dress. If I can't I'll survive, but I've been wanting one for ages. Anyways, enough rambling!

Thanks for stopping by and reading you guys!

Much love,

Sana-san
