Matryoshka Headband Tutorial

Hello you guys!
I made a tutorial video for the first time in a longggg time.  But now that I have my super secret weapon (Aka my new mic) I can hopefully go about making more of these!

City for your head yes yes

This video was a tutorial for how to make a Vocaloid Matryoshka headband.  I first made on of these for Hey Say Cosplay's Matryoshka CMV, and I thought it looked totally cool, so I wanted to share how to make them with the world.  Matryoshka is a great first time cosplay because it's easy to make, and this is just something that will make the costume look extra cool!  Thankully my friend and fellow cosplayer Hailey was kind enough to act as a model for me, so I could have someone who looks super cute wear it with her costume! You can see photos of her cosplay's on Hey Say Cosplay's Facebook page!
I hope that the voice over isn't too weird, it was my first time doing it and I was a bit nervous, but I really like my new microphone so I hope you guys enjoyed it!
In other news, life around here has been a bit crazy for me.  Thankfully I'm in the middle of a four day weekend, so I have some time to take care of cleaning, homework, and yes, video making.  With finals coming up, as well as now making dinner a few times a week, I've been keeping myself very busy.  However, when I do have some time to myself I've found myself looking on the Luts website fairly often, and I've been feeling pretty inspired to so some BJD stuff, so possibly watch out for that in the future.
That's All I have to say for now, so be sure to check out my Matryoshka Headband Tutorial and tell me what you think!
See ya!

Plans for Cosplay as of May

There is little I can say, aside from that I am extremely excited for cosplaying this summer.  Our group, Hey Say Cosplay, is planning some really REALLY cool stuff (can you tell I’m excited?)

First of all, we are going to finish up all our costumes and weapons for RWBY, then film a CMV for it. While putting together Nora’s hammer is going to be a challenge, making the CMV should be really fun and I’m excited for us to all have our costumes done. 

We also have some smaller projects planned for videos, including one we've had in the works for over a year!  The costumes aren't very complex, so I've personally volunteered to make them as sewing practice.  I really want to be able to make nice looking costumes, as well as clothes for myself (Looking through vintage Vogue patterns makes my heart flutter). And seeing as our costumes are just going to get bigger and better, it would be best to make sure I know what I’m doing.

Then, for next year, we have something much much more wonderful planned.  We are going to (hopefully) have our group go as Vocaloid: Story of Evil.

The Designs

This is just too cool for me to handle, and I am pumped to get to work on my costume.  As I often am, I will be our groups Meiko, which means I get to adventure into making some armor and a sword.  We are basing our costumes on these designs by Dj-MewMew on DeviantArt.  I already have some plans in mind for how I’m going to put together my costume, and as soon as our group confirms our plans I’ll be getting to work on it.  This time I can hopefully film some of the progress which I had planned to do for my Nora cosplay, but most of time I was working on it I looked pretty gross so I wouldn't want to show myself and wouldn't feel very inspired to film.  I’m hoping I can get past that for this costume, because I really want it to be amazing, and may have to ask you guys for your opinions on how to make it even better! In my latest video I start working on making a bustier to use for the top of my costume already, I am just so pumped to work on this!

That’s all for now!  Make sure to check out these my Sewing and a New Blog? video, as well as my Sakura Con 2014 Haul! See you guys around!

Starting Something New

It's funny to think it's almost been a year since I made a longer post, or simply, a blog post. My LiveJournal didn't work well for me, and my Tumblr just wasn't the right place for longer posts, so now I'm trying again here.
My plan for this blog is to use it alongside my YouTube videos (Found here!).  It will essentially be used for adding more information to the topic I go over in my videos.  Of course not everything will be related to videos, as I also plan on making more fashion related posts as well as posts on what shows and books I'm into!
I really hope you guys enjoy them!
As for what I'm up to now; I have just been crazy busy.  From finishing up my junior year in high school, to playing oboe in multiple concerts I haven't had much time for anything.  Unfortunately, on top of that, my dad has recently had some medical problems and has been mostly bedridden.  Because of that I have had to take on a few more challenges (But at least now I know how to use the lawn mower!).
This is all for now, but Hopefully you will hear again from me shortly!  Bye bye for now!
