It has begun....

...the quest on making my own prop and costume for next years convention!
and where do we start? of course the prop!

Out of all, it seems the prop might need the most of the time available to be done. Why?
Well because of my son of course. I rather do not give up on spending time with him while
crafting myself a prop. And what is this prop?
A bow. And I'm going for as realistic look as possible, which means handcarving and
wood bending. I've been reading a lot about this subject lately and been practicing with
popsicle sticks. It should come out alright, I hope. I rather want wooden one, than
plastic, since once the outfit retires the bow can be reused in other costumes 
(like in a medieval faire), and my son can use it as a toy when he grows up. Naturally 
I would be crafting also dull arrows, that cannot hurt anyone. I'm so excited about
this project.

Should I run, Should I hide...

...Should I stay by your side, cosplaying your biggest nightmare.

I saw entire night dreams about cosplaying, this has to be a bad bad deal. But the con went by, even though it wasn't the best one out there, it was still worth of visit. Though there was major case of organising problems and problems with maps. BAD BAD MAPS.

I bought Matenrou Opera's Anomie Album. Made my day.
Anime and Jrock is serious business.

Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows part 2

Went to see the movie yesterday, and I have to say - it was AWESOME. Even though there was some stuff, I didn't quite agree on - and some parts where really REALLY left out (a.k.a Remus and Tonks Son, as well as Bill's and Fleur's daughter), and some scenes just didn't hit. Put in overall, it was awesome and worth of seeing.

This weekend, it's Animecon time! Haven't been in cons for a while (due being busy and being pregnant last year.) and I've been thinking of DIY lolita costume for this year, possibly.

I have two dresses I could use - one would be from Rakuen's own line and one would be done by combining objects together (and yes, Kiku - I've been thinking of using the ANIMAL. Animal is nickname for my long - quite cheesy-ish blonde wig.)

I have grown to love (once again) Ice cream latte's. Particularly with vanilla and mint chocolate flavours.

I'll be adding to my recipe blog soon, how I do them.
