Wonderful Memories

    Well, I thought about making a keychain a few times and here I finally made Venti & Zhongli inspired keychain. Nothing too special here, because the material I use for earrings is also the same as the keychain. Perhaps the difference is the design and size only. Without lingering anymore, let me just show you the photos.

    These are some of the earrings I made because they were inspired by the Tokyo Revengers animation. Previously, I had made Izana, Kakucho, Mitsuya, and Hanma. This time there is the addition of Kazutora in this post. When I uploaded these earrings on e-commerce, someone asked about clip earrings (clip earrings can be used for people who don't have piercings in their ear). So because of this matter, I re-photographed the product to be posted on e-commerce. 

       Ah actually, I had planned to buy the clip earring at first. Unfortunately, the item I ordered was wrong and I ended up using hook earring for my first post on e-commerce. I'm glad that the second purchase was successful and the item I ordered came according to the descriptions, so here I can re-photographed these products.

    I was finally able to make one of the character costumes from Genshin Impact. Yoimiya from the beginning of her appearance had already stolen my attention. I actually have an orange fabric like her design. That's why I finally decided to make this costume. Sometimes the way I choose a cosplay character to play is quite unique, I often match the fabric / wig that I have, so I can cut the budget enough to create a new cosplay project.

    I think this cosplay project is one of the most expensive for me. Actually, when you viewed from the outside, the costume is not too fancy or even seem ordinary but what makes it different is I tried to  maximized the type of fabric I used on this project. Some of the fabrics I use are premium dutches, glitter jacquard, and fabrics that have texture and there are nylon threads that are visible if exposed to light.

    For Yoimiya's clothing motifs design, I do it manually and spend up to five days (sometimes it cost 4 hours a day or even more). When compared between sewing work with manual painting, of course you will spend more time on manual painting. I did it happily, because it had been a long time not drawing on the cloth.

    The thing that makes it difficult in this cosplay is the accessories section. I had quite a hard time with Yoimiya's hairdressing and also I spent quite a lot of time choosing the type of strap I used for her leg accessories. It's nice to see everything get done well and the part I couldn't finish was the vision, the bracelet, the tattoo, and the arrow.

    The thing I can't forget when working on this project is the work on the large spaghetti obi. I spent almost 2kg of dakron to fill 4.5m red jacquard fabric and 3m white motif cotton fabric. The two fabrics above must be multiplied by two, because this spaghetti is wrapped around each other.

    The fun thing is working on the bustier part. I use stagen (commonly used by birthing mothers) with a length of 10m fabric, I can use it for bustiers, arm accessories and thighs.

    Onmyoji is one of the mobile games that I love. Initially interested because of the details of the characters' clothes in it, then instead continued the game for several months. Unfortunately when I started entering the office world, I couldn't play this game intensely and decided to stop. This happened at the end of 2018.

    In December 2020, I plan to realize Onmyoji cosplay. One of them is SP Guardian Ubume. This character has intricate details and is also beautiful, so at the beginning of 2021 I tried to contact the fabric printing place to ask the price of services, the type of fabric and the length of the printing process. I feel lucky to be able to realize this cosplay in the midst of pandemic conditions. I have to thank the client who entrusted the costume work to me at that time, because with that income I was able to start this project.

    Actually, I just had the idea of working on September 2021. Quite a long time from the original plan of Januari 2021. With the fabric material that I have at home, I'm not barely spending a penny here. Only the fabric of the skirt that I bought new, this is because my fabric is not long enough so I decided to buy it online (we're in the middle of pandemic and this is a better choice in my opinion bcs there's restrictions in my region).

    I really like these clothes, I tend to like layered and complicated clothes. Of course, the effort to make clothes like this is greater than others. But it's worth the end result. On the haori, I use furing in it and it's quite complicated to work with. To be honest, I didn't use any patterns at all in the work of this costume, I just used an approximation and immediately carried the fabric I had. It's nice to be able to work on a costume without making the pattern, because it saves more work time.
