Haven't had one in a while. I know the style's pretty much dead these days but I'm hoping it makes a comeback!
We haven't had one in awhile and then I saw this on a local con FB page and knew it was time. Fess up I know you're a seagull with charms like these.

If there was a "your waifu is trash" one I would probably buy it on impulse. Others are meh.
I just popped these out! The cat and the heart still need to be glazed/have the back filled in but the others are ready to be drilled and made into earrings.
The ones with words are kind of edgy, but the 3oh!3 one is a running joke and I thought they'd be suitable for Valentine's Day.
I'm thinking of making cabochon-esque resin crafts. If I'm putting a picture into a cameo setting, will the resin make the ink run on photopaper? Or should I print my background on something else/use some kind of sealant before adding the resin?
In the spirit of Valentine's Day and White Day, let's look at lolita and related jfash (boystyle, otome, etc.) coords featuring two people whose outfits look good together.
tl;dr Share your couple inspo pics!

Is there a specific series from your childhood that you wish you saw more of in the cosplay community?
Why don't people cosplay Wedding Peach? Oh yeah, because the anime was a terrible Sailor Moon clone.

I don't see very much ranma 1/2. Maybe a shampoo or female ranma here and there. Also serial experiments lain would be pretty cool.
>>8862140
Wasn't Tokyo mew mew as well?
Do you think it looks better when the tip is straight like in the left or curved like the right one?
I can't decide on one.
Both are ugly and will make you look like a porn star.
>>8857308
I think they look nice but you are right that they are generally associated with porn.

>nails make you look like a pornstar
explain?

New larp thread, with more larpers larping on larps

Still talking camp food...
It's an 8-day camp. The idea is to use leftovers and boil out bones as much as possible. The first few days are easy because refrigeration still holds.
Mears' roasted salmon > fish soup
Roast chicken > stir fry > chicken salad + chicken soup
Breakfast pancakes > sliced pancakes in soup
Beef soup > stew
The veg will be fresh and pickled cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, paprika, cucumber, and mushrooms. Maybe the occasional baked potato.
I know how to make my sourdough rye, but I need inspiration for sweets. Should I just consult Jas Townsend, or does someone have a good idea?
>>8852427
bring honey for sweeten things. If you have a little flour and various other things you can even bake something on a campfire.
Also we once made doughnuts on campfire too and somewhere I have a recipe for a cake made in a cauldron
>>8852443
Yes, everything would be baked in a fire.
I had good results with a clay pot and maybe I can afford my dutch oven this year.
Doughnuts are a mess, takes lots of lard. And I am not comfortable heating that much grease over an open flame. But they ARE delicious when fresh!

Not sure which legion you need specifically but you can easily find the backpatches on etsy and ebay.

Meetups are generally arranged specific to the con you are attending. Usually you discuss with the anons in thread on a time/date that works for the majority. Personally I've never gone to a meetup but I know that sometimes anons will go drinking in the evening (this is usually a secondary meetup though since it excludes anons who are under the drinking age).

You will have to choose if you'd rather have the hood look good when up, or if you'd rather the mask looked good. If you cut along the dotted lines, yes, the hood would lay better, however the mask will likely curl/flop over on the sides that are no longer attached since it is not secured in place anymore. I am not sure what you mean by putting an elastic in the back of the hood - do you mean behind the mask? Yes, that would help it fit closer to your face, but it also would defeat the purpose of cutting along the dotted lines to make the hood lay better when the mask is up. You would also be adding unsightly stitching to the front of the mask. Unfortunately you can't have the best of both worlds with something like this.
>>8856598
If you are bringing this to a con then your scissors may be confiscated even if the blades are dull and stuck together. That being said you could make your own out of a variety of materials such as foam, sintra, or even cardboard.
>>8857279
I google image searched "durag cap pattern" and found a couple patterns that you could modify. Link below is a tutorial on how to sew one:
>http://www.ourveggiegarden.com/CraftsSkullCap.html
>>8857887
Cardboard, expanding foam and papermache. EVA foam would also work if you spackle the seam and seal it.
>>8859165
Why not use a stiffer fabric like organza and stitch the pleats?
What gauge of wire would you use for fairy wings? I made a pair last year and they were really beautiful but they couldn't really stand up under their own weight because the wire I used was too light. I'd be covering the wings with tulle, organza or another similar light weight fabric. And possibly adding some silk flowers as embellishment.
I did some googling but most of what I saw was for little girl wings and suggested using old coats hangers.
>>8859519
Could use some assistance, I'm looking for a blouse to go with a Yolonda Skirt and Cape, it'd be great if I could find a decent quality one in black and one in white. Especially if they can go with other things. She has a nice Meta coat and an IW skirt, as well as some other miscellaneous stuff, but I want to help her build her wardrobe up.

I have weird skin where my t-zone is super greasy while my cheeks are normal. The area around my mouth also has discolored patches that I can cover up with concealer but makes me look like I have a permanent mustache when I don't have makeup on. What would you guys suggest me use? I've been trying CC cream and brightening products for my weird mouth area for a couple months but I haven't been seeing results so far.
My current night regime!
Can anyone recommend something over the counter for rosacea? I tried prosacea for 2 months and it didn't improve at all. Should i just go to a dermatologist?
A-kon 27 is just around the corner! (Or, it's five months away.)
Is anyone attending who's never been? Are you ready for the return of Yaya?
Are we ready for another year of pulled fire alarms from the edgy teenagers or for another guy to beat the hell out of some firefighters and a cop while tripping Acid?
I sure am!
What's your favorite part about the upcoming Anatole storm?
I'm debating going to run an artist alley table, if they haven't sold those yet. Otherwise, fuck A-kon. I'll never return to it for pleasure, burned too many times.
I'm excited for the overwhelmed Denny's.
It's only January.

>>8858003
Dude, there's a sweet thread up right now praising OTT sweet...
>>8858030
People always says its kawaii vomit or borderline ageplay, i'd say its decently controversial

AWA artist's alley registration is open today. It doesn't close until May 1st. I hate having to wait so long to find out if I've been accepted or not.
