I went fabric shopping with @hannahsimion and @once_upon_a_stitch today, and I finally have all (most) of the stuff I need to get cracking with Yara Greyjoy and Jon Snow!! Get hyped ✨
Left Stockholm this morning, and I'm now only about half an hour from home 🙌 This week has been absolutely lovely, made extra lovely by Hannah Simion and Mayo-Chan who have been excellent tour guides and hosts (they're also really good at stuff - go look at their stuff). I've seen so many cool sights, and met so many cool people, especially this weekend at Comic Con Stockholm. The Swedish cosplay community is just great, and I had such a wonderful time talking to everyone (special thanks to all the people who stopped us for photos, your love of our costumes made me so happy), and generally felt so welcome! Hopefully it won't be too long until I'm back again.... But for now, I'm back to working on costumes for MCM London, and moving back into university for my final year ☺️
And that's it, Comic Con Stockholm is over for @hannahsimion and me (although @bajamayo will be here tomorrow). It's been lovely - and if anyone has any photos of us please tag us, we'd love to see! (p.s. anyone who attempted to talk to me in Swedish, only to be met with a blank stare, I'm very sorry 😂 next time, I'll wear a sticker) #padméandthegals @comicconnordics #starwars #starwarscosplay #theironthrone #got #hbo #hbonordic #gameofthrones #comicconstockholm #comicconstockholm2017 #padméamidala #padmeamidalacosplay #padmecosplay #derp #cute #mashup (at Comic Con Stockholm)
Breaking up the scenic Stockholm spam happening on my Instagram with some cosplay stuff! @bajamayo, @hannahsimion, and I will be wearing our Padme and the handmaidens cosplays to Stockholm Comic Con on Saturday (sadly without @woodsmokeandwords 😭), so here's a throwback to the last time we wore them to SWC last year. Suuuch a fun group ❤️ If you're going to be at comic con on Saturday, let me know! Photo by @idapod
Early morning instagraming because the post-con blues have truly hit ❤️💛💙💚 If you haven't already, check out these three great humans. Their cosplays are so great, and look what a wonderful set we make together Godric Gryffindor by @lilprincecostumes Helga Hufflepuff by @chameleoncosplay Rowena Ravenclaw by me Salazar Slytherin by @latincatcosplay
LeakyCon might be over, but I still have tons of cool stuff to share - including this fab closeup look at @lilprincecostumes's Godric Gryffindor hair. Although I can't claim credit for the cool af shaved design, I did try my hand at some Viking-inspired braiding and extension work for the weekend - and I'm rather proud of it! ☺️ This look was achieved with multiple colours of red toned hair extensions, braided in to @lilprincecostumes's own hair, and decorated with gold beads ✨
Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home ❤️💛💚💙 #leakycon2017
Hello friends last night was gr8 and drunken #LeakyCon2017
Today has been absolutely wonderful. We’ve hung out with so many cool people (shoutout to @mrleozombie for being a gr8 cosplay judge and general cool human), and had a blast! Also so much gratitude to @groovyguygerry for being our unofficial photographer / bag bitch (check out his amazing puppet 👌) (at Citywest Hotel, Dublin)
What can I say, evil is messy (Thank you everyone who took photos of me today / complimented my cosplay! It's been so lovely)
Four nerds, ready for LeakyCon!
Working on my Ravenclaw dress today! The main body of the dress is this beautiful dark blue silk, and I've made some cool braided trim and and belt to go with it ☺️ #rowenaravenclaw #ravenclaw #rowenaravenclawcosplay #ravenclawpride #housepride #hogwarts #hogwartsfounders #cosplay #cosplaywip #silk #bronze #braid #trim
Ah good yes, what an excellent day for my sewing machine to have a freak out and need servicing - on my last day off from work until I leave for @leakycon in just over a week 😭😭😭 (This bag was in the sale at the sewing machine repair place. Maybe it's optimism will seep in to me somehow)
More Miss Fisher photos! We’ll hopefully be doing a proper shoot with these costumes soon ☺️ (at Warner Center Marriott Woodland Hills)
What’s this, another makeup test? I’m revitalising @lrdcommandercosplay’s Jon Snow wig, and I’ll be upgrading his cosplay too next month. In the mean time, here’s his pretty, Kit Harington af face 😍 (And yes, his bedroom is orange and purple. I don’t know why)
Happy Game of Thrones Day! I've actually watched the new episode (no spoilers in the comments please), and now I'm soooo excited for next week. To keep myself entertained until then, I threw together my first makeup test for Yara Greyjoy! I'll be starting on this cosplay after LeakyCon, and hopefully wearing it to MCM London in October ☺️
My instagram will never have such a strong aesthetic ever again Perfect time for everyone to go follow me (and catch up on all the cool stuff I got up to in California) ☺️ www.instagram.com/totallyriddikulus
