& I think that's pretty much it. 😮
Let me know, should you have any questions. 🙏🏻
Ended up not to be my most favorite costume (no big surprise tbh), but as of now the best and most intricate one I ever did and am actually really proud of. 😌💕
#DaisCraft
Other last minute crafts:
Stripes, lots and lots of stripes, as well as all the weathering (which could honestly go on forever, being a blessing and a curse.)
#DaisCraft
Owl mask
Work in progress of an owl mask made of foam
Feathers and owl on the back of a cape
Back view of the cape
And the second Foam piece for the costume. 🦉
(Thanks to @stephcalation.bsky.social for making the LEDs I used. 🙏🏻)
(I hate the mess working with Foam makes, but really do like the two things a made. 😶)
And even more progress on the cape. #DaisCraft
Steep learning curve the 1st time working with foam.
What I learned:
I don't dislike it, but thoroughly hate the mess it makes!! 💀
Sanding this in my bathtub (no other choice with a one room flat, without balcony/garden) made me want to set the whole room on fire to get rid of the dust. 🔥 #DaisCraft
Fabric feather circle cut out
Roll-cutter my beloved
Airbrushed Cape
Inside of the cape
It's been so very crunchy, that I didn't share any more of the work in progress. 😬
Scrolling all the way back now to add at least a few more photos.

Patchwork Capelet
Still needs lining and finishing and stuff, but very happy how this turned out. 💙
(Will 80% of this not be visible, because it's under the cape?
Yes of course, why do you ask? 🙂)
#DaisCraft
Habe mich die Tage noch gefragt, woher der Muskelkater in Arm und Schulter kommt.
Hab dann eben am Cape weitergenäht und ich weiß jetzt woher. 🙂
Anyway!!
Ein bisschen WiP daran. 🙌🏻
(Sieht hier gar nicht so sehr nach Kampf aus, wie es ist, dass ganz Ding durch die Machine zu ziehen. 😬)
#DaisCraft
Realized I haven't mentioned the beard here yet. 😬
Borrowed a wooden 'beard block' from a make-up school & have been working on ventilating the lower part.
The moustache is still missing, but being two parts,
I can do that part on the cork board I used for the eyebrows as well. 🙌🏻
#DaisCraft
It has a pocket
(Nearly finished)-Latz and Pants
Fabric with pattern
Weathering fabric
Progress!!! 💪🏻
(Amazing what one can do when finally having a few days and the space of mind to get actually shit done!!
....& also, a deadline.)
#DaisCraft
Ventilated eyebrow
Cosplay progress, fabric on the floor
Clean, curved seam
Paper Bow printed in original size to my body
Rusu progress. 👀
Finished one eyebrow, started on the second & am waiting for the stuff to make the beard.
Working on the 'Latz' and having a plan for the bow now. #DaisCraft
Didn't finish it,
Not even in two days, but alas. 🤷🏻
Still very happy with the overall look and outcome of this. 💖
And positively surprised how well the pattern worked out. 😮
#DaisCraft
Sleeves finished as well~
(Bought a tripod recently and challenging myself to use it some.) #DaisCraft
Stash with materials
Cut fabric
Seam
Dress
Cosplay speed-run:
Jolenta from 'Orb - on the movements of the earth'. 🌍
Hoped to finish it in a day,
Of course that didn't work out,
But the dress is nearly done & I'm honestly surprised how well this simple pattern worked. 😮💕
#DaisCraft
Kumihimo braiding
Ventilating hair
Hand stitching dekorative seams
Sachiko Embroidery
Also constantly working on these forever pieces. 💪🏻

“Aber Großvater, warum hast du eigentlich so buschige Augenbrauen?“
Ja nun....., weil's super schwer ist die richtige Menge zu knüpfen, so das es weder zu viel, noch zu wenig ist!! 🙃😵
#DaisCraft
(Dies ist etwa eine halbe Staffel Shanfro..... 😬)
Modeling a nose with putty on to a gypsum face cast
Casting a putty nose negative with more gypsum
Demolded nose cast
Correcting Air bubbles in a gypsum cast
Nobody nose if this will work out, but I guess I'll just be running with it. 😬
#DaisCraft
Ah, now with one of two (probably) finished braids, have a video with some Kumihimo. 💞
#DaisCraft
(I hate how long this took to make me 🙄, but do like the result. 😶)
Still a little smad about the dyeing fails, 😐
BUT with always throwing in some scraps, I now have the 50 shade of blue I wanted for the little cape-thingie. 😁👍🏻

Kumihimo - Braided wool

Making a Kumihimo disk
Kumihimo trials in colour, pattern, texture and material
Picked Kumihimo for a bunch of ropes and ribbons.
Took many trial and errors, but at this point I can even read subtitles while doing it. 😁

Rusu from the game Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Let's give a Cosplay build thread a chance. 😬
Currently working on 'Rusu' from 'Kena: Bridge of Spirits.' 💙
My costume for the ECG Finals in July, together with Symphonia as Kena, to be Team #Daiphonia once again. 💕
Lots of new things & challenges, but also fun to craft! 💪🏻
