I've decided to make my very first totally homemade cosplay! This summer, Rydia will be making a grand appearance at Connecticon 2013. There have been a few incarnations of her art and appearance; I am using this one:
Who: Rydia from Final Fantasy IV
What: Connecticon 2013
Where: Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT
When: July 12-14, 2013
How: Absolutely no idea! I will be figuring things out as I go along, and will share my successes and miserable failures along the way. Sewing is not my strong point, nor have I dabbled in working with resin or beads before. Thank god for smart people that post video tutorials...
Why: I love to make things and try new mediums. Arts, crafts, and writing are all passions of mine. Sadly, it has been a long time since my last serious creative effort. I see this ambitious goal as a way to revitalize my creative side. What better way to tap into all of these things than to write about my endeavor as it unfolds?
On a separate note, Rydia is one skinny girl. This undertaking is not only a chance to flex some creative muscle, but also a fabulous excuse to stick with that pesky New Year's resolution. My modest goal is to build muscle tone and lose a couple pounds over the next six months.
