Still plugging away at some AMA questions!

“Good form without knowing it is the best form of all.”

Boo! I made the previous post from my phone and didn't realize how low quality the dr strange photo was. Unfortunately that's all the photographer sent me.. SO PLEASE ACCEPT THIS HIGH RES TINKERBELL (Photographed by Anthony H Nguyen Photography) AS AN APOLOGY.

Also for those of you who guessed Harley Quinn in the previous post.. YOU ARE RIGHT!  It actually came from when I was picking DC costume for the LEGO game and I was excited to do harley cause I had all the fabrics and thoug...

I know making of photos can be HELLA boring (compared to the final result) but here is a costume I’m hoping to finish the first part of the year. It’s a somewhat simple costume that you can buy at most Halloween stores, so I wanted to make sure to add some of my own touches, starting with the “diamonds”

This is the same technique used in my squirrel girl and captain America to create a flexible “padded” look

Using foam I spray adhesive it down to fabric, And then adher...

Throw back

When I had longer hair 😭

Lobster Rolls

Since some you seemed interested Learned this recipe from my dad, who learned it from my grandfather who has lived in the Maritimes for over 80 years. Where LOBSTER IS LIFE. Just made this recently when I was visiting my family. Only time I eat lobster is when I see them cause you can get it right off the boats.

Makes 6-8 lobster rolls

Ingredients -

3.5 lbs of lobster meat (fresh is always better)

1 teaspoon of dill

2.5 table spoons of Miracle Whip (as much as ...

Recipes

Some of you already know, but I LOVE to cook. When I’m on a film I don’t get to cook often, but would posting recipes something you guys would be interested?

Keep in mind I don’t cook as much red meat or pork anymore. Trying to go vegetarian or least pescatarian. So most these recipes wouldn’t have those but could be modified to use them.

I will also share older recipes that I tweaked when I was eating more red meat.

Still working on your question. I’ll try to knock some out while I’m travelling tomorrow :)

AMA question here!

Got some downtime this evening with my parents, thought I could do a short AMA. Sorry I don’t have time to do a video one I’ll try to answer as many as I can which are informative or I can come up with a funny response to.

Answers will be in the next post

Sweet dreams

I’m heading to bed 💤

Uravity

Didn’t lose as many people as I thought posting a picture of myself and my mom without my boobs being out :) 👍👍

Been saving up up the most recent season of MHA (my hero) and watching it in the evening before I go to bed. it’s been so good! Kind of want to do the school uniform version of uraraka this year!

Merry delayed Christmas

Arrived at my parents around midnight last night. So we opened our gifts this morning. I got cute Pjs, Coffee/TV things, and my dad bought DNA tests for myself, my money and my new sister, Kima (in the picture)

What if I find Out Kima isn’t my REAL SISTER :O?!

How are you spending the holidays?

I’m at the airport travelling to my parents In Canada , won’t arrive till later tonight and be back New Year’s Eve, it’s the cheapest time for me to travel! I do my best to see them least see them every 2-3 years when I can.

I was hoping to maybe try streaming while there but realize my laptop is so bad I’m not even able to stream so I’ll be updating during my trip and maybe doing some video AMAs through IG on my phone if I can find quiet time to do it! No promises I will d...

Akari Kanzaki

“Let’s get physical”!

Following up with some more old schoolish anime as Akari from Battle Athletes! Another costume I desperately need to shoot!

Would you want to see this costume in the next calendar?

Even though very few people have seen this anime I love the series and the design. Feel like I relate a lot to Akari... nothing she wants to do comes naturally to her but she continues to try her best.

Throwback on a Saturday

Sorry for the low res picture that’s one crummy thing about older costumes is I don’t have high res photos of them and many of the photographers didn’t shoot at that high level.

Still proud of these arms, it was my first cosplay where I had part of my body cast (no 3D scanning) and then learned to sculpt, mold and Casting with Fiberglass with metal powder. It was my “practice” costume to learn techniques before I made my Bubblegum crisis hard suit. Thermal plastics and foam p...

“What is important is to know fear, and yet take a step forward.”

What you can’t tell in the photo is I’m sweating my ass off.. that’s right Riki.. you know how to keep it sexy.. :

Arriving Orders and then some..

Hey everyone! I see orders are slowly beginning to arrive! Again I wanted to apologize that it took a little longer to get out to you then usual!

How I usually handle the store is I order all the prints I need once I close the store so then I order exactly what I need and its makes most sense from a cost point of view, but because I left my store open an extra week and then when I did get my orders from the printer a few days later, the days I had set aside to pack the orders, I got c...

New Hair

Not the cutest picture BUT thought I would give you guys the first peek at my new hair.

Long hair, while I love the idea of it, i never did anything with it, I always would wear it pulled back/up and it was getting in the way when I was trying to work in the shop, getting caught on things and was starting to not fit under some wigs.. 

I had begun growing it out when I started on Cap3:Civil War and while I was on Infinity war I decided I wanted to cut and donate it To Great lengths. ...

CatNap

Figure since I’m checking out Into the SPIDERVERSE tonight I would post some Black Cat. I’ve heard good things so fingers crossed.

Sorry been pretty incommunicado the last bit. Spent late last week and this past weekend doing all the orders and getting them out and then I had work. Thank you for being so patient.

I cant believe it’s almost the end of the year. I only buy for close friends and my parents, so I’m done my shopping. Though part of my parents gift is flying back to Canada to see them, which I’ll be home from 25-31. I’ll be updating when I can, most of the time spent I�...

Mary Marvel

Throw back Thursday!

With the hype of Captain Marvel, hopefully Mary Marvel will get some love.

I'm gonna put you to sleep

Managed to get away to catch Wreck it Ralph 2 this weekend, I think Vanillope is probably the princess, thats most like me haha.  Like everyone I did enjoy the princess scene and probably do Comfy Snow white at a con next year since I have all the stuff for it :)

Other other then that been tucked in watching Great british bake show while packing orders! 

Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper

I know some costume pictures I post  (or prints I have) are hella old but I like them so much that I never really feel inclined to reshoot them again unless I come up with another concept. Like this one, and ghost in the shell (with the TachiKoma).  To be fair, this concept was taken from a friend of mine, Allison Sohns, Artwork. Her piece was just so striking I wanted to recreate it as a photo!

Keep flying!

I’m sure your over me making announcement about it but It never fails after I close my store someone says they didn’t know it was closing (thanks algorithms) my store will be closing tomorrow! So you might see ONE More post tomorrow about the store and then nothing till next spring. Also I found another small Batch of calendars in my workshop, so they are back in stock!

So it’s end of the year and for some reason I always start getting excited about cosplay plans for the following year. I have a bunch of costumes I need to finish, couple series I have loved the designs like Fate/Stay, so many cute characters  but love to hear any cosplay suggestions you have From any series. 

Up up and Away

My store will be closing on Saturday and then I’ll be spending next week processing orders also almost sold out of 2019 calendars! (I think I have about 20 left, I have to count!) and then they are gone! You can also get this print as part of a trio as well! Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who had pledge to me on patreon and purchase prints, it makes me so happy to see friends and familiar names with each order and I do my best to recognize and include extras in your orders!!

...

Thankful for...

You.

I’m so lucky to have a easy going community of men and woman that I can share the things I love with. Cosplay, toys, squirrels and more. Thank you everyone for your continually support, I will do my best to do right by you!

I’ve been sitting at home eating stuffing and mash potatoes and playing Okami.

What have you done with your holidays?

Be Vewy Vewy Quiet

I know my store is suppose to be closing tomorrow but I will be keeping it open for one more week. Which means next week I will start processing orders to send them out! Sorry for any inconvenience that might cause.

You can get my 2019 calendar, new prints at Ridd1e.Bigcartel.com <3
