A couple months ago I backed Etchr Lab’s Etchr Art Satchel and Field Case crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Between my work laptop bag, my everyday backpack, and my camera bag, I was thinking it was time to invest in an artist travel bag (preferably a backpack). It would be great if I could have a […]
Along with the snow shots in my previous post, I took the opportunity to photograph my latest art book purchase: Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward | The Art of Ishgard -Stone and Steel-! I’m a huge fan of the FF MMO series. Back in elementary and middle school I played FFXI more than I […]
She’s hereeee!!! She’s finally here!!!! A little background story about Good Smile Company’s 1/8th scale Kaori Miyazono in particular: this is the figure that sparked my interest in possibly beginning a collection. I know there are hundreds and hundreds of beautifully-crafted and elaborate figures out there in the world, but the day I came across […]
What a wonderful invention these are. I’ve been seeing wonder clips making its rounds amongst cosplay friends, so I decided to get a box for myself from Amazon to try out. Typically used for quilting, wonder clips are plastic mini-clips that are intended to keep your fabric in place without the use of pins. These […]
I’m SUPER excited to share my latest Big Kid purchase: my first serger!! I’ve been saving up for my first one for awhile now, and it came in the mail two months ago! I’ve been so thrilled to finally be able to work with knits, and especially having clean finishes for all of my costumes/garments! […]
For the past few months I’ve been playing FFXIV again, and I absolutely love it. My computer isn’t the best out there, but I can play the game without much issue. I noticed, however, that my wireless mouse has a ton of lag whenever I play. It’s especially apparent when I run roulettes/dungeons, which makes […]
This is my first time purchasing from Uniqso (I’ve been a Honeycolor gal for yearrrrrs), and I managed to order during their B2G1 promotion. It arrived the DAY before I flew to Anime Expo…. it seems that AX is cursed with 11th hour deliveries for me, as I had previously attempted to order from ISZO […]
Today I’m going to be reviewing one of my favorite lenses: GEO’s Princess Mimi series in Apple Green! What I would consider my most comfortable pair of lenses to date, this is also the largest in my collection, at 15mm in diameter! I initially bought these contacts for my Sakura Kinomoto cosplay from Card Captor […]
If there’s anything I’ve learned from buying circle lenses for cosplay, it’s that not all colors are created equal. This is most apparent when finding blue contacts, but it’s amazing how difficult it is to settle on “the right” pair of brown contacts. Detail-oriented cosplayers might recognize this struggle: Two cosplays, both brown-eyed characters but […]
After months stuffing loose bills and unorganized cards into my pockets (or backpack), I finally sat down and bought myself a new wallet! Because of the work I do, and the types of events I have to go to, I feel more at ease with a classy, simple clutch wallet. If it’s too small, then […]
