Hey friends! We tend to pick the same days/times for livestreams lately, which means the polls are becoming largely unnecessary — but it also excludes folks who live in a non-majority time zone, so we're gonna try something new this month. I'm going to do two livestreams on the same day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and both streams will have the same basic content (although of ...

Here's tomorrow's video! Ashley's episode of Narrative Telephone seemed like a fun way to test out my styling and makeup for Pike, even though the costume is still in progress. This wig is a disaster and requires a LOT more styling, but as a proof of concept, I'm pretty happy with how it all looks!

Filmed another Narrative Telephone lip sync tonight! This one is even longer than the Jester one and took...so long, haha. Fingers crossed that when I start editing tomorrow, it all comes together!
Featuring Alex’s amazing brass Sarenrae pendant! ☀️

Hey friends, made kind of a vulnerable video this morning and then stumbled across some pretty cruel stuff about me online tonight so I'm feeling.... not very much like sharing this kind of video. But hopefully I'll get over it by Wednesday and then people can tear me down in the comments all over again, haha.
I'll be mostly offline Monday through Wednesday because Josh and I are taking a...

This month's tutorial, again sponsored by Skillshare, is for some easy candy hairpins that I'll be using for my Vanellope makeup test (the third makeup look in my #6cosplays makeup test series, the first two being Yasha and Elphaba.) This same method can be used to create any sort of sculpted hairpin you may be interested in making!

Last night and this morning, I focused on Pike’s blouse. It’s made of white and blue scuba knit. I followed my own pattern block for the body, and modified a vintage puff sleeve pattern to make the paned sleeves. It won’t need to be ironed (yay!) but absolutely does not breathe and will be very hot (nooo!)
I’m nearly out of excuses before I have to work on the armor, haha!

EDIT: Oh my goodness, they're already gone!! Wow, I didn't expect that kind of demand. I'm sorry to anyone who missed them! I would offer to order more, but it would be another month before they arrive. :(

My latest music video is done!! "Melee Range" is a D&D-inspired love song, and for the video, I coerced my fiancé Josh into putting on a doublet. This is scheduled to come out on Wednesday!

I edited the portraits I shot of my Elphaba makeup! This month got away from me, so I think I'll do prints of Elphie and Yasha for the Di-ety rewards and focus on getting Pike done for June, instead. Which of these do you think would make a good print? I have my leanings, but I'm curious what you guys think!

Josh and I managed to squeeze in the second filming set for "Melee Range" this morning riiiight before it started to rain (it actually was sprinkling during that shot with the foreground swords, which made the shot look really sparkly and mystical!!)
This is the largest park in Denver, which has been very lucky for us, because it's large enough that we can safely walk around it in masks t...

Josh and I filmed the first scene for my "Melee Range" music video (coming next week! PANIC!!) and it came out really cute! It was fun building a D&D table set, although a bit bittersweet since it was just us and it reminded me of how long it's been since I got to play D&D with my friends all physically together at the table. There are a bunch of little "easter eggs" and small reference...

HELLO! It's past midnight!! Here's tomorrow's video itself, but I haven't done any of the caption/tags/cards nonsense yet and I'm gonna do that tomorrow morning because I am POOPED. So please enjoy the video and ignore everything else!!

Here are all the headshots I edited up from my Yasha makeup test! I've postponed this video until tomorrow because it still needs a lot of work (been biting off a bit more than I can chew lately!)

I decided to tackle that “six makeup tests” challenge that a bunch of cosplayers have been doing, and I’m filming them for YouTube videos! Just finished filming these first two (Yasha from Critical Role and Elphaba from Wicked), so now it’s time for a marathon editing evening to get the video ready for tomorrow.

Working on a video this week for that “give me six characters to costest” thing, and I’m... uh, perhaps taking it a bit too seriously 😂 I made a hat and styled a wig for two of the looks tonight!

Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example...

This isn’t a very exciting update, but... pants! 🤗 they’ll be mostly covered up in the final costume (and thank god, because I messed up so many dumb little things on these, haha!)

HEY FRIENDS! For this month's costume, I'm going to try and finish the Pike Trickfoot from Critical Role cosplay I started many months ago — the armor was so intimidating for me, I set it aside for a while. But I looked back at the design I created before using Hannah Alexander's fashion template and wante...

I’m wearing a different corset than normal here, one I purchased at the Renaissance Festival years ago, because I didn’t want to obscure the tattoo with the normal corset’s straps... just a sign that I need to get working on her level ten outfit.

Okay, I failed to give you guys early access to this video because I was just TOO DANG EXCITED to wait to post it, so to make up for it, there's a whole Jester selfie set coming in a post right after this. SORRRRYYYY love you guys!!

Hey friends! I'm working on a video in which a DnD NPC asks you, the viewer, questions about your character. Turns out "barmaid NPC" has been done a lot, so I'd like to build something a little more unique!
