So my days are now filled with nothing but cosplay as my holiday from school/work started - and thus I have time to write here ;D

A few weeks ago I helped my good friend out by making her prom dress^^ It wasn't very smart of me, seeing as I have my hands full, but what can you do. I'm fairly happy with the result, so that's that :)

Life is good. 
Sometimes, we just have to remind ourselves of it.

There's a lot of things going on around me at the moment, and sometimes it can seem hard to catch my breath. Luckily everything is getting better (along side me progressing on my WCS stuff. hmpf.) and I'm starting to feel more at ease. 
I'm so nervous and excited for Japan, and the thought of there only being 24 days until we leave... It's crazy. It feels like we just walked of the stage at J-pop, confused, happy and scared out of our wids. Well I'm still all these things I guess, just more happy. There's a lot of anxiety involved in this that I didn't really see coming to be honest, which is ridiculous. Denmark is such a small country that we hardly get noticed during the WCS and therefore I have nothing to be scared of as such. Also, the danish cosplay community is very supportive and to be frank, just doesn't think much about it I think? That's my impression at least. Don't get me wrong here, I think people think of it as a cool thing and a great chance for Denmark, but compared to other countries cosplay communities we don't give a damn xD  But I still don't want to disappoint myself. I want to be able to look back at this with pride.. so that's what I hope will happen.. Cause changes are I won't be going again. 
So... a bit of a random rant about WCS her eon the blog, after a long time of absence. 

I hope everything is good out there in wonderland!

You may have noticed that my pretty little picture to the left changed - yup - new cosplays! 
And besides Twisted Esmeralda which I have on showcase over there, I also debuted another costume recently. 

Katniss Everdeen - Hunger Games

So here you have some progress pictures and - oh, what do you know.. some small photoshoot pictures as well, with just about the best Peeta ever<3 



 The bow is one I bought from Faraos Cigar and then painted. It was black before.
 The arrows were some that my ever so faithful cosplay partner Yoshu gave to me, from her Natalia cosplay. I took the awful pointy ends of (I'm allowed to say that, I'm the one who made them for in the first place) and made some new nifty ones in wonderflex! Really happy about the result. I'm not good with props, but working on it!
The quiver is made out of a tube for posters that I got at the postoffice, covered with fabric and then very quickly painted. Now, the paint job on is HORRIBLE. It's made in a day, so what can you do, time pressure! The strap for it is an old belt I had.
The "glass" looking feather thing, is made out of Plexiglas which I was lucky enough to get help with from my dad. It took me half an hour to make one, then he and a friend came in and made like.. 15 in 10 minutes... But they also used the right tool so I didn't stand a chance.

So that was the progress of this cosplay. I really hope plan on making more of her outfits in the nearby future. I'm so in love with these books!
Anyway, as I said, here are some photos from a small photosession we had at SvS con.
Photos by the amazing Zarsu
>>GO LOOK AT HER STUFF<<

Peeta is the amazing Bára<3






Oh and the location was a freaking BUSH. And Zarsu made that look like a forest. She got skills I tell ya!
I also had an amazing Effie Trinket with me that day, but we didn't get any pictures together ;_;
But she'll be cosplaying Finnick at a point, so I'll get some photos with her then! And we'll have a Effie there too! ... It's my plan to make everyone I know cosplay from this series. 

And that was it for this time!

May the odds be ever in your favor.

It's my new thing - buying lots of wonderful pins for cosplays<3

Oh and a picture of my cat. Cause his name is King, so it seemed appropriate.
