Well it has been a very busy month and a half which is why I've not really been active or posted anything on this account. I have been working two jobs, one being my current job at Tesco and the other was a month trial at a mascot company Costumes with Character who make mascots for many big names in the UK and places abroad. Well I have passed my trial and will be working in props and since I will be full time I'll have to quit my other job since it's been killing me doing both as much as I appreciate the extra money lol. I'd like to potentially start doing commissions so that I can do what I like doing 100% of the time. I have learnt a lot over the past month with new materials and how to achieve a high quality product.

Freya Crescent is still in production adding Shirokuma Cafe to the list of cosplays I want to do. I want to make a big polar bear and a cuddly panda lol. Also added to the list is Beth from Bravest Warriors.

Thanks to people for the new watches and favourites I much appreciate it!

I seem to be onto a little fursuiting phase since the costumes are fun to make particularly the masks. My current cosplay projects I am working on are a Freya Crescent and Sir Fratley from Final Fantasy XI. Trying to get the heads right has proven a little tricky so taken some artistic license with it but have stayed true to the characters more noticeable features like the their slightly pointed noses. Picks of that to come soon hopefully! Lots of stuff I want to do but so little time and money to do! XD

Many historical costumes I want to do especially some of the huge dresses from 18th century as well as a few from the early 1600s.

Wow a Daily Deviation I can't believe! Thanks so much everyone for all the comments, fave, watches, etc! I'll try and answer everyones comments and questions when I get back online in the morning. Thanks again so much everyone! x

I'm originally Osanpo on deviantart but I wanted to start again as I got bored of the name and I thought it would be easier to start again from scratch. I would like to dedicate this account though mainly to the costumes, accessories, props and more textile based stuff that I make though I'll see how long that takes to fail and post random other stuff too. I enjoy doing a lot of beading and embroidery, the major attraction of making period dresses for me was the chance to decorate beautiful big dresses. I also enjoy making mascot and prop based costumes which are always a fun challenge.

I do a few cosplay stuff on the side though it is very rare that I do since the course I did was quite a time and money sink so hopefully I can experiment more now I'm out of college and hope to make and post more stuff. I am excited to put what I learnt to good use maybe eventually opening up my own little business as well as join the film and theatre industry. I would love to hear any critique and advise on getting into the industry or running your own business or just how my designs and costumes could be improved.

Thanks for reading!
