Welcome!

Hi everyone and welcome to my first ever blog!

My name is Emma and I live in the North East of England. I've been cosplaying for around 10 years but it has taken on a more dominant role in my life over the past couple of years. I spend the majority of my free time creating costumes now and hopefully I'm improving with each one!

I decided to create a blog to share the processes and techniques I use when creating my cosplay. Research is one of the most time consuming aspects of the process. We have a bit of a love/hate relationship. There's nothing more exciting than beginning your research for a new project, however when you find yourself researching the same thing 3 weeks later, the word 'tedious' springs to mind. I found that looking at the processes that other cosplayers used to create their work is a massive help (and inspiration!). This blog will hopefully show you the techniques I've used and adapted and maybe even some useful links to various other sources that prove more than useful with certain projects.

I'm currently in the process of creating two pieces for London Film and Comic Con in 2 weeks time. Over the next couple of weeks I will share with you what I have created so far and wish all of you luck in any future projects you are creating. Watch this space!
