Woooo! Long time no see! I have so many blog-posts to write for you guys! So you are all in for a treat. I decided to start with GIGACON as this convention has a special place in my heart. This year was beyond amazing and I have so many great memories from 2016! The days before GIGACON were quite busy. I really wanted to finish Sivir for their big cosplay day this year; last year I made Arcade Miss Fortune. I think I will actually air a new cosplay there every year from now on! The day started with an interview about GIGACON on the TV-show Good Morning Norway, where I got to talk about cosplay as well. I decided to bring my Valkyrie Leona as it’s quite fast to get on and easy to transport…Without the shield that is. :’D After that I went back to the hotel to sleep for about an hour before I went to the convention~ This year they invited Kairi in Cosplayland (Poland), Sophie Karine Riis (Norway) and Pugoffka (Ukraine); truly a dreamteam! The cosplay contest had a super nice prizepool as well. A total of 16.000 NOK. There were also plenty of cosplay […] Read More
I have finally managed to sit down and write this after some days of rest~ I told you all I would be more active on my blog, and that will continue! ^3^ This year I had the honor of guesting expOtaku Almeria in Spain! My heart always drops when I get invited to events, my mind is like “What? Really? They want me there? ;o;”, then I shed some tears of joy. This was my first time in Spain, since I was unable to go last year as I got sick. But WOOOW, Spain is super beautiful! It is so different from Norway, so I was filming everything like a crazy tourist! :’D The first day we got to explore Almeria a little, we went to the beach and ended up eating a lot of the most amazing ice cream ever! So goooood! So the first day was pretty much a day of relaxing. I went to bed at 7 PM, as I hadn’t gotten any sleep the day before. I woke up at 7 AM the next day, fully rested and full of energy! The first day of expOtaku I wore my Sawako Kuronuma cosplay from Kimi ni Todoke for the first time at […] Read More
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve made a blogpost! I am going to try harder to push out more posts in the future, so don’t worry! *o* A lot has been happening since our last visit at Buskerud Folk High. Last time the students got to know the materials and to make their own bracer. A few of them wanted to know about LED and wires so of course we taught them that. This time things would get a little more complicated. They were each going to make a prop, and most of them wanted to go for a big prop. Which is totally fine, but I told them it takes a lot of effort and work. Most of them still wanted to go with a big prop, and I really admired their determination as most of them had never made a prop before. We started with making patterns. After the pattern making was completed we transferred the pattern onto EVA. The students were pretty fast with this step, but after this came one of the most time consuming things of all, dremeling. As many of the blades had different edges they had to use a dremel to go over the […] Read More
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve written on my blog, and now it’s finally time to start blogging again~ A lot of stuff has happened in the past months, one of said stuff happening at Buskerud Folk High! I was invited back again this year to teach the students about armor and casting ( LED’s), which is always a pleasure. I really enjoy teaching people new things, it makes me so happy~ Like last year, we decided to start with something basic, such as a bracer. So they all got to decide on what they wanted to make. After a 20 min power-point presentation, we started to work! We went through these phases: 1. Making your own pattern 2. Worbla Base 3. Mold for making gems 4. LED and wires 5. Details for the bracers ( Worbla and Polymorph) 6. Priming / + Tips during the priming process 7. Painting All of the phases went pretty darn well! They all managed to finish in time, and we all got to take some really cool photos. Had a little trouble with the Transpa Worbla, but you just have to work with it over time. My Crystal Maiden staff gem […] Read More
It is time to talk about my experience from GIGACON 2015! I was an invited guest this year along with Kairi in Cosplayland and Tanzoir, two super sweet girls whom I love very much! <3 For GIGACON, I wanted to finish my Arcade Miss Fortune in time for the Cosplay Contest, so there were many sleep-less nights in order to get her ready for the judging, which took place on Saturday, but I freaking did it! A huge thanks to Chris for helping me cut and sand, without him this Arcade MF would never have happened in time! :O Kairi in Cosplayland also managed to complete her Arcade Riven! So we got to take some super awesome Arcade pictures if you scroll down below~ I would write about each day, but it was mostly me working on Arcade Miss Fortune, so there is not a lot to say around that, aside from that I was working really hard on getting her ready, but of course I will write about all the other stuff I did, so here you all go: This year I decided to sit out with the LAN participants, I think it’s more social and tons of fun […] Read More
Hello lovelies! Hope you all are doing well! Last weekend I was attending KawaiiCon 4 which took place in Porsgrunn! Which is super close to my home town Skien, so it was really awesome seeing an anime event this close to my home town! I had so much fun stuff to do during this weekend! I was a part of the opening show, judged their cosplay contest, and had a panel~ So there was always so much fun stuff going on 24/7. Day 1 Day one started pretty early, I had to get up at 7 in the morning so we were able to rehearse at least once before the opening show went on for real. I was playing Tamaki’s Mother (The Queen), and the Evil Princess, (Ganondorf in disguise) during the show. I was pretty nervous, as we just had gotten into all of the script one day before, but it all turned out great! I really enjoyed playing the part of the Evil Princess, especially since I dressed up to look like Cadence during the play! (My Little Pony related) I’m going to show you guys a video of it later~ After the opening show was done, I […] Read More
I am back home from Stockholm, and started working on my Arcade Miss Fortune again! LCS Stockholm was amazing! It was such an honor being invited by Riot Games. They are always such a pleasure to work with! I was lucky enough that I could stay with my Swedish friend, Laura Craft, during this event! I always miss my Swedish friends, they’re just amazing! Riot teamed up Laura Craft ( Karma & Ziggs), Amenoo Cosplay ( Lux and Annie), Ciwiel (Miss Fortune), Illeda art and Cosplay (Zed) and myself to guest during the event. Most of us knew each other from before, but it was also nice making new friends! Like Illeda, I’d only spoken to her once before. O: Day 1: I arrived one day before the event so I could settle down and wake up well rested. We got to the event around 12:00 during lunch time and got our cosplays on. Riot had put up their own “Cosplay Hospitality” spot where cosplayers could get dressed and got some snacks/water. Erin ( Riot Yuka) took good care of us along with two other Rioters, you girls did an amazing job! <3 After we all got dressed, we headed […] Read More
Time goes by and I am back in Norway, relaxing for a little bit, after my great trip to Unicon in Latvia! This trip was really fun, it was such an honor to be invited to this event. I was also able to see some of my old friends like Shappi Workshop and Zel COShorse! My good friend, Renato, was also invited down to Unicon to talk about eSport, which was quite interesting! Always lovely travelling with friends. I also managed to make quite a few friends during the event, some being my CO-judges Inge, aka Dulcinea Coslay from Lithuania and Marija (Aka Imay Lee Cosplay) from Latvia! <3 We arrived a day early before the convention, so we got to visit and spend some time together with the judges, which was tons of fun! Again thank you Marija for your hospitality! Day 1 of the event: We arrived early to the event to start pre-judging. From what I heard, we had over 100 who entered multible categories! Which was super exciting, but of course we spent quite some time on pre-judging as well. :’D They had categories like Dance, Group, Duo, Solo and EuroCosplay Qualifiers. I really enjoyed that Original […] Read More
It is time to talk about my trip to ESL One in Frankfurt! BEFORE THE EVENT Kairi in Cosplayland and I were lucky enough to be able to work with Razer at this event. Again, I feel really honored to be able to work with such amazing and kind people! Kairi and I were making 2 completely new cosplays for this specific event. I decided on Crystal Maiden, and Kairi decided on making the Windrunner! Our only problem was time management, as I had worked pretty hard on my Valkyrie Leona only a few days before! Two days after Dreamhack I left for Frankfurt, so the days were pretty much sleep-less. :’D But it was SOOOO worth it. I was lucky enough to get some help from my little sister, Sophie. So thank god for that! PROGRESS I’m actually quite pleased with how Crystal Maiden turned out on such a short notice! I do have plans to redo some of her parts pretty soon, as she was a very comfortable cosplay to wear. This was also my first time working with Transpa Worbla, and it worked out pretty good! The huge crystal on Rylai’s staff was made out of Transpa Worbla. […] Read More
Woah, where to begin? DreamHack this year was crazy busy for me, as I had been working non-stop on my Valkyrie Leona for weeks! I managed to complete her the day before in my hotel room. I hadn’t sleep for the past days before we had to leave for Jönköping in Sweden. So my first day before the contest I was just checking out how I wanted my performance to be – our stage performances couldn’t be too long, for example spending time on stand-alone props and other things, as they had a very tight schedule, which is understandable! I at least was allowed to get my props on stage, on some chairs, for the act, which was very kind of them! I also had time to “LAN” a little for the first time at Dreamhack! It was super-nice! I only wish I had a laptop, bringing my tower sure was a pain…luckily I had someone to help me carry my tower and monitor! :’D It was cool hanging with those of you who came over to the LAN spot, very cozy indeed! A huge thanks to Komplett for making the LAN spot awesome. It for sure was a lot of fun! Now over […] Read More
