Hello again.
Lately it's finally getting a bit warmer. I like winter, but still I'm looking forward to some sunny spring days.
The weekend was quite cold and rainy, though. Luckily, Bookfair Leipzig is an indoor event.
The convention
As expected, this year's bookfair was even more crowded than last year's. As expected, the organisers still haven't taken any measurements to prevent people (read: cosplayers) from taking giant props (wings, swords, clubs, staffs, spiked maces...) into the crowded halls. You'd think people had enough common sense not carry around bulky and potentially dangerous objects at a place like that. But apparently they don't. ((*￢д￢))
As a result, I decided to stay away from the most crowded places and spent most of the day at the CCL, where all the cosplayers meet up. I had a great time talking, taking pictures and just being silly with my sister and some friends. I also met a lot aof people I haven't met in ages, which made me very happy (ノ⌒▽)ノわぁい♪
I spent most of the time taking pictures of Maddi, who was a stunningly beautiful Princess White Rose and trying to take photos of my sister, who wore my other Sheryl costume.
I wore a new Sheryl costume which I had been diing to sew ever since I first saw it.
The costume
 | Sheryl Nome - Tour Poster Ver. (Macross Frontier) Out of all costumes Sheryl wears throughout the series I love this one the most. However, there's no other picture of it than the one on the left, so I could decide on the design of the bottom part myself. I decided on a short but fluffy circle ruffled skirt because I thought it would match the cute but sexy design of the bodice/vest. The bodice, btw, is fully lined (as you can see on this WIP shot, so it took me ages to complete, but now I'm quite pleased with the result. I also (finally) had my first attempt on Sheryl's earrings. I'm not yet content with how they came out at all, but this is close as it can get regarding my poor jewellery crafting skills (￣∇￣;) ﾊｯﾊｯﾊｯ This will definitely not be my last Sheryl costume ♥ ↓ some pictures (including some double Sheryl shots with my sister XD) |
