Risque Chibi Lady Ciel

3 Comments

In preparation for cosplaying as Lady Ciel at Anime Island Convention in Hobart on the 16th and 17th of March of this year (Held in march annually), I made a riskque chibi version of the costume for a cosplay-skate event hosted by my committee (Mini Anime Island Convention, held in Launceston September/October of each year). Just took a white mini dress, pink silk sash, front and back bows of the official Lady Ciel gown, Ciel wig complete with pigtail clips, and lots and lots of safety pins

Pikachu baby blanket and beanie

3 Comments

I made this blanket for my glory box, but also as a test to see if I'd want to make more like it, Pokemon inspired or just as a request.

I enjoyed the process of making this. I used only a few patterns to make this and made up the rest as I went a long.

BLANKET: 72cm (28") wide.
The blanket itself was a pattern, and I added a border to it. Pikachu's stripes were taken from a leaf pattern and revised to be longer and rounder. The tail however was completely my own pattern of four separate pieces that got wider as the tail progressed, all sewn together. I used yellow and brown wool.

BEANIE: 40cm (16") circumference.
For the beanie I used a standard beanie pattern, and added on ear flaps and a brown border to line it. The tassels are loose lengths of wool plaited together and can be tied together to hold the beanie on. The eyes were a small circle pattern with white wool sewn on the make his pupil. The same circle pattern was then used to make his red cheeks but in a smaller circle. Pikachu's nose and mouth were sewn on using black wool and a wool needle. The ears were the worst part to make as I wasn't sure how to make a cone shape in crochet so I sorta made it up myself using a cylinder shape that got smaller as it progressed. The ears are longer than I intended but can be revised. I used yellow, brown, black, red and white wool.

All in all for approximately four days work (I took a few breaks to look at patterns and other people's similar works) total I am very happy with the result, even if a few parts do need revision in my opinion.

To my fellow deviants and followers,
Thank you for such a wonderful 2012. The many lovely comments and encouragements I have been given. My first critique was a great surprise. So many favourites added that I think I should start making folders devoted to the styles of art I have liked

I have found so many friends on DA this past year, increasing my watch list from about eight to twenty four, and also adding about thirty to my own watch list. there is just so much amazing artwork out there, and I wish I could have it all

Thank you for keeping my fingers busy commenting and talking to you all

I spent this year devoting a lot of my time to my crochet work, and cosplay. I'm looking forward to Anime Island Convention in Hobart in March 2013, and am so excited to introduce my first ever cosplay character by me ( I do plan for her to have a story, so far she's just the Lady in Red, and only parts of her costume are actually made by me, the rest has been bought), and a new cosplay I recently purchased and am still awaiting it's arrival in the mail (Fingers crossed by the 20th of January). Both costumes fit the theme "Vintage" and this AICon looks like it's going to go off with a BANG! I've been hearing stories from friends about the costumes they are making or have bought and it sounds like a great time warp back to the 1800's for us all

Find the event here: [link]

My list of Characters I want to cosplay:
*Nurse Joy (Pokemon)
*Apple Jack (My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic)
*Summoner Yuna (FFX)
*Lady in Red (OC made by me)
*Ciel Phantomhive/Lady Ciel (Black Butler)
*Elizabeth Midford (Black Butler)
*Chii (Chobits)
*Momoka Fakku (Fakku Mascot)
*Sophie Hatter (Howl's Moving Castle)
*Temari (Naruto)
*Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist)
*Pikachu (Pokemon)
*Aerith (Final Fantsy Seven/Last Order/Advent Children)
*Baby Doll (Suckerpunch)

As for my crochet, this have been slow over Christmas, yes I'm sorry I've been quite slack

I've got a few commissions to catch up on but I'm always asking for ideas for my next crochet creation. Let me know if you think of anything please

I love a good challenge!
And finally onto the year that will be. No celebrations tonight as I have to work past midnight, but when I'm done, you can bet I'll be home enjoying a wine and probably some Halo 2. I got my offer for the local University and I'm accepting that tomorrow. Education career here I come! Starting in March 2013 too!

I set myself a new years resolution to only have fast food at most once a week, and work out at the gym once a week, a start writing two diaries (Personal and artistic).

Hope everyone has a flashy fun New Years, see you in 2013

(It's December 31st here in Australia)
