Water dragon There was this shishi-odoshi fountain on the wisteria set at AX and I had to get a photo with it. It took us several tries to get this right. My headpiece is so big, it made laying down difficult! Yui from Fushigi Yuugi 📸 By @laurelnymph.bsky.social

I've been busy painting stars 🌟✨ Celeste has so many custom patterns and I had a long weekend. So the patterns are all hand drawn and painted using Lumiere metallic paints. The falling star skirt is dyed using dye-na-flow, a foam wedge, and a lot of water to make it look like watercolor.

Starting a new project! Celeste from Animal Crossing but Lolita style to go with my ouji-style Blathers! Friend gave me a bunch of Lolita designs and here's what we came up with! So far, I've finished the shirt and skirt. The jacket mock-up is finished now too. Next is painting all those details!

Waiting for Mr. Oasis Fun story. I was watching "Murder, She Wrote", and one episode took place in the Queen Mary. Several scenes took place on the Observation Deck. And that's where I got this photo! Angel Salvia from Wedding Peach DX 📸 By wrongbutton21 on the Queen Mary

May actually finished this time ✅ This outfit is made almost completely from whatever I had. Two tank tops sewn together, layered shorts (shortened the white one), wig from previous May cosplay, and whatever materials I had in my stash. I only bought the belt buckle, yellow webbing, and the lining.

May from Pokemon ORAS! Side by side comparison of the front. Right is the concept art. May had a red shirt layered over black with a heart-like cutout upside down. The shorts are white over black. She has a red headband with white stripes

Left is my cosplay with the same details

Back of my May cosplay. Right is the concept art, showing off the waist pack. It's yellow with green details. Left is my version with the same details

Repainted belt buckle. It's a buckle from a kid's belt, shaped like a Pokeball. I painted it black to match the concept art

Bag lining! I love to add fun looking inside. The fabric is black with white, blue, and green game controllers. Showing off the pockets on the inside

Black Lobelia is complete ✅ I really don't know how Gojo made this so quickly. This cosplay required so much tailoring to get that corset and jacket to sit right plus creating a seamless full circle skirt with ruffles only on the outside. It took me over a month but she's complete now!

Black Lobelia from My Dress up Darling. Gray corset covered in lace with black lace trim. Black jacket had gold trim and pauldrons. Skirt is open at the front with black lace trim. Long thigh-high boots underneath the skirt. Also a black hat

Happy bday, brushbuddy! My brushbuddy is very flexible so naturally I had to shape him like the round thing near Fanime! I'll make a full Richeh one day but here's my casual summer version assembled for a Collab earlier this year 📸 Self photography #witchhatatelier #brushbuddy

Posing like a 90s teen fashion magazine 📸 By @unoriginaltitle Taken at AX I used to copy poses and fashion when I drew and scribbled so I looked at these magazines quite a bit. The poses fit Téa pretty well and Takahashi did have quite a few sketches of her posing in 90s fashion. #yugioh

Téa Gardner cosplay. The outfit is a red skirt paired with a yellow shirt and boots. The shirt says "SPIRIT" in black letters. Téa leans against the door of a subway car with hands on hips, slightly to the side, with one leg crossed over the other. The set is designed like a subway car

Progress on Black Lobelia! Yep, I'm back on this nonsense after delaying it for like 2 months. And this outfit is nonsense. What magic did Gojo use to make this? So far, the corset is done. Jacket is nearly done. Lace is magical for getting texture and details!

Comparison of current progress. Right is Marin as Black Lobelia from My Dress up Darling / kisekoi. The outfit is mostly black with a gold border and epaulettes.

So far the progress in the left is the gray corset with a black ruffle border. The jacket is black with a gold braid border.

Close up of the jacket and corset. A black jacket with a gold border along the lapel, collar, and sleeve. The gray corset is on the side with a black lace border

Just the corset. It's gray with a flower lace overlay. There's a small window at the center front with privacy fabric. The border is black flower lace ruffled

I've been isekai'd into a magical knight Umi is now finished! It's so shiny and flowy! I've been wanting to make this cosplay since I started cosplaying over 20 years ago. It took me this long to feel my skill was where I needed it to make this and be happy with the results! #rayearth #cosplay

Sammy / Val @leafnincosplay.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

More progress on Umi! Made a new skirt as I didn't like the first one. Skirt is now done. butt cape attached via 4 large snaps. The belt done too with furniture foam gems & metallic spandex. Added peach straps to the shoulders to attach overlay details and so I didn't flash anyone at the Con 😂

Umi Ryuuzaki art nouveau design from the Magic Knight Rayearth manga. The outfit is primarily blue. Light blue shirt, shirt, and cape with a dark blue overlay skirt and bib. Most details are edged with gold. Several details are in white.

The manga art is on the right with my progress on the left with the skirt, shirt, overskirt, and belt done

More shots is the progress. From left to right: front, side, back. The belt on the back is closed with a zipper

Never too late to be isekai'd to be a magical girl. Just need to visit Tokyo Tower again It's another stash busting project! I've wanted to make a Rayearth cosplay since I started cosplaying but somehow never did. Rayearth was one of my first magical girl series and my favorite CLAMP work.

Magic Knight Rayearth Umi cosplay progress. This art work is one of the art nouveau designs and is completely blue. It features a decorative bib over a strapless top with a full skirt and overlay with a waterfall hem. There's also a cape!

Fully articulated brushbuddy! I knew I needed one since I started reading the manga. He's got an articulated spine inside with wire feet. The body was wrapped with strips of a thrifted blanket then covered with swirl fur I apparently bought at JoAnn in 2019. The eyes do indeed wiggle!

Battle City Spirit! I've wanted to make Téa's Spirit outfit forever. I had all the materials and stretch HTV in my stash so it had to be done. I really need more casual, comfy outfits, and with the forecast at Fanime being hot, I needed something cool as well. Ready to cheer on some duelists!

Téa's Spirit outfit from Yu-Gi-Oh Battle City! It has a yellow shirt with black sleeves and collar and SPIRIT written in black. The skirt is red with a black belt. The knee-high boots are the same yellow as the shirt.

Mock-up for Black Lobelia! I'm kinda obsessed with My Dress up Darling and I wanted this to be my first outfit. Most of this will be fabric leftover from other projects. I especially need to get all that gray voile out of my drawer! #mydressupdarling #cosplay

Black Lobelia concept art on the left and my mock-up on the right. The colors are odd as I'm using light color bedsheets for the test pattern

Full turnaround of my Black Lobelia mock-up. From left to right, front, side, back. The lines on the shirt are where I'll be adding the black gathers

Holding up the side of the skirt to show its size. It is a full circle skirt and very flowy. I had to piece it together with two different fabrics thanks to its large size

A close up of the jacket, corset, and hat. I finally made an overbust corset pattern for myself! The jacket is only staying on due to pins at the moment. The structure of this design is odd and I want to know what magic Gojo used when making this.

Yuji and Sukuna complete! I'm still missing Yuji's buttons (they're stuck in customs still) but all the work otherwise is done! I'm still over the moon about the wig styling. Wigs have always been a weakness for me but I love how they both turned out. New (cursed) technique unlocked! #jjk

Another budget wig transformation for Yuji! Much like Sukuna, I curled the wig with heat and spools and used that to make a permanently messy look. I have him a perm lol. I also dropped the pink in the back using wefts leftover from Sukuna's wig #jujutsukaisen #cosplay

Yuji progress! Just about done until buttons and wig get here. Full jacket, comfy pants, pockets! It's a pretty comfy cosplay! The jacket is a bit shorter than my mock-up due to height difference between my friend and me. Hopefully the buttons will get here soon! #jujutsukaisen #cosplay

Mock-up 2 Yuji Itadori complete! While Sukuna is for me, Yuji is for my friend so we can cosplay together! There's no interfacing in the mock-up so it slouches a bit. There are indeed pockets in this along with a working hood. I also added a standing collar to the mock-up for my own future plans.

Sukuna mock up! I modified a women's kimono pattern to be a men's kimono. Lowered the collar, shortened the length, shortened and closed the sleeves, and pulled the neck up in the back. The rest is faked because Sukuna does what Sukuna wants with his outfit. #jujustukaisen #cosplay
