Just me being increasingly dramatic with my hands while I give you 10 seconds of burn damage as I ignite your soul! (Sorry!) Implemented some slight changes to my Grieving Mother cosplay for Zenkaikon. Other than the new bracelets, I also wore one of my old wigs that I was going to retire because it was too messy, but it worked really well for the character. Then I wore a pair of grey contacts to match her eye color better, though it only made my eyes a few shades lighter in the right light.
They are wrapped around the Grieving Mother's wrists with tiny woven braids of hair of different colors, from white to black, brown to blonde. You feel as if you're noticing them for the first time.
She raises her left hand, the chiming at her wrists quelling the rise within her...she is frightened, but curiosity anchors her.
