I wore my newest creation to Anime Central 2024! Super proud of how my Ciel cosplay came together. I cut, dyed, and styled a blonde wig from scratch to complete the look before the convention, along with a beautiful purple wig for another character. My friend and coconspirator Wren (@wren.xo) was cool enough to pull together a matching costume so we could arrive @ Acen in style!! We are starting a new project for Kastucon 2025, which will be my first east coast convention. I’ll post updates as we get projects together! I’m feeling ambitious… hoping to take at least five or six costumes with me.
