Fall has arrived

Fall has arrived. And I don't know about you guys but the weather here has changed so much within a few days. It's chilly and dark and very obvious winter is on its way. I am waiting to hear back from one place to hopefully get a interview. I love fall. There is this feeling I get. It's hard to explain. But I have always loved fall and winter. Its the ending of the year, the trees are going to sleep, leaves are falling, pumpkins on people's front door steps and it's almost time for Halloween. I love it. Ever since I was a child I've loved fall and winter. It inspires me. 

I'm working hard on finishing up my novel and figuring out if my next one will be third or first person. There is a lot of work to do with that. But my mind is already on cosplay. I really miss sewing and its only been a month since I finished our last cosplay. Our new Pandora Hearts cosplay, which we decided to bring back after we had people at the panel ask where the characters were, will be my way to improve myself. I'm using them as my chance to practice my skills and make my work much cleaner. So when I start on our Trinity Blood cosplays I will feel very comfortable making them. Those will also be testing me with new challenges such as....

~Making my own patterns

~Styling a gravity deifying wig

~Making wings

~Using fabric paint

~Making armor out of Wonderflex or Worbla

And lots more.

I should be nervous but I'm excited.  I like challenges which is way I want to work hard and fix the problems I have. I know I'm still new with sewing. I've only made four cosplays but I want to strive to be the best I can. I'm not afraid to push myself. Luckily the local cosplay community is great! I've had lots of people tell me they'll help when I have any questions which is awesome since I'll need some advice when I start making my own patterns. 

I will be starting on a few Trinity Blood projects soon.

~Abel's wig (I'll be working with two of my old wigs so I can get some practice before tearing apart the silver wigs we have.)

~Molds (For the armor pieces. I'll start by cutting out some of the armor pieces and seeing if making those in clay would be easier than making 3d craft foam molds. )

~Seth's pattern (I'll be using a pattern I have for the lower half but will be making the upper half by scratch.) 

So I do have some things to work on. We could also start by cutting out a template for Seth's tuning forks. Which I have decided to make! I will be doing something very special for them too! But that's a secret  for now. There is a lot to do and I am so glad I have a LOT of time to finish everything. 

We will be starting on Break very soon. I'll post a ton of pictures when I do so just look for the post that says PICTURES! Lol.
