Cosplay!

costume(s) you'd make if neither money nor issues of materials/technique were an obstacle? - akatonbo

Over ten days late, is anyone surprised I ever get anything done? I sure am. In my defense, akatonbo already knows the answer because it came up on the 30 days of cosplay meme I've been doing over on tumblr. The answer is... well, less grand than a lot of cosplayers, I think. Some of which is my willingness to tackle new things head-on, and some of it is... just not finding fancy designs/armor that really appeal to me? Clow Reed from Cardcaptor Sakura was my first cosplay, and ever since, I've wanted to redo it to do the outfit justice. I'm actually finally hitting a point where my skills are mostly there - I need to get better at embroidery, and I need to do research on 17th and 18th century Chinese garment construction, but the rest of the obstacles are monetary.

I also still sort of want to do one of the World of Warcraft Mage tier armor sets, but I can never decide which.

I still have a vague itch to make the Priest T1 armor. Nobody would recognize it anymore, though, I don't think. Dang kids. >.>

There are a ton of tier sets now - I looked and kind of boggled, but in fairness I haven't played for two expansions. Mage T6 was a favorite of mine, but one of the newer ones is both purple and steampunky and thus very tempting.
