A recent prop project - Bofur's warpick from The Hobbit movies for @nottwith2tscosplay - All made with foam and liquid latex for durability.

Felt the urge to dig out some shots of my Tiberius Stormwind cosplay. Call it nostalgia the the last complete big build I did. Photography by the wonderful @MadMoonMat for @MakeGeek

It's Hallowe'en, which means it's time to party... VAMPIRE STYLE!

A fantastic time had at yesterday’s Comic Con and Gaming Festival in Bournemouth. Really brought home why I don’t cosplay and work cons at the same time anymore though! A brilliant, busy time. #cosplay #lazlocravensworth #whatwedointheshadows #wwdits #wwditscosplay

Since over the top hats are my current trend, another pic of my hedge wizard taken at the New Forest Fantasy Festival. There may even be a fairy hiding somewhere in this picture? Who knows!

Yes, he's coming...

I just missed World Octopus Day yesterday, but coming in fashionably late...

"With his dying breath he said 'Take my hat, it's currrs...' Yes, I thought, it IS cool."

Laszlo Cravensworth, doing stuff in the shadows.

"BAT!"
Here we are. The first cos-test of my Laszlo Cravensworth costume. I'm feeling pretty good about it! Some tweaks to make but pretty much there.

The rest of my Lazslo Cravensworth costume coming together. We've got a customised coat with brocade trim and fur collar with matching cravat, styled wig all by me and a double breasted waistcoat for that foppish style.

And we're done! Laszlo's cursed hat, painted, stitched and with feather flair, thanks to the awesome tutorial/pattern by @fancyjencosplay I am also now officially in love with foam clay.

Progress! Painted and latexed my cursed hat for maximum effect. Stitching and feathers still to add, but getting there.

My next project: Working on Laszlo's cursed hat, thanks to the magic of an excellent tutorial and pattern by @fancyjencosplay

Thanks to @michael_forester for snapping this shot of my hedge wizard at his stand at @newforestfairyfestival this weekend. Looking forward to reading his book 'Dragonsong' that I picked up at the time.

Melted in the heat at this weekend's @newforestfairyfestival, but still had a great time. A lovely atmosphere. All the editions to my mage costume paid off.

I made myself a spell-book holster for my developing wizard costume. Another addition to wear at this weekend’s New Forest Fairy Festival. #props #crafting #costumes #fantasy #cosplay

That’s my hat finished for the New Forest Fairy Festival. Since there was no room for my dragon to ride my shoulder anymore I adapted. All credit to the excellent tutorial by Elly Gibson at https://t.co/ssU4KOf9OG #costumes #cosplay #fantasy #crafting #crafts #sewing #hats

Might have slightly misjudged the scale of the wizard hat I made, but time to turn it into an opportunity! A shelter for small children, perhaps?
