Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen!

How are you and how have your past months been? I wish I had uploaded more picture here, but I my bachelor thesis, my job and Gala Nocturna have been keeping me rather busy lately. I hope I will find the time to do a proper photo shooting with some of my costumes soon..! Preferably Margaery Tyrell, Princess Leia or Lucrezia Borgia.

➡ As some of you might have heard already I spent past weekend in Antwerp, Belgium where I attended a costume ball called Gala Nocturna. The ball is hosted by the beautiful and talented Belgian costume designer Viona. It took place for the 7th time and his year's motto was "The Pope's Daughter" - Hence my Borgia clothing.

We (Naraku, Talchy, Karina and I) arrived in Antwerp on Saturday afternoon, explored the city for a while, had late lunch and got ready for the ball later.
Entering the facilities of the ball was like stepping through the doors to another world - I am not kidding. After crossing two soldiers of the Papal Swiss Guard one entered a high church-like room whiches walls and ceilings were decorated with beautiful golden mosaics. Many beautifully dressed people were already queuing to get their drinks. The light was dimmed and music out of the Italian Renaissance was playing... The atmosphere at the ball was simply overwhelming. There is absolutely no way to put this experience into words. The whole evening truly felt like a travel back in time.
My highlight of the evening was definitely the Renaissance dance lesson with dancing master Lieven Baert. I would have never thought dancing such dances would be both so much fun and so exhausting. I really hope I'll get the chance to do it again in the future.
Besides the dance lesson we enjoyed the different performances on stage, got pictures taken in the beautiful photo corner, got to know many amazing people from all over Europe and even bought pieces of beautiful neo-romantic designer jewellery as souvenirs.
The next morning we did some sightseeing in Antwerp (A truly beautiful city!) and had delicous Belgian waffles for breakfast. Depending on the motto of next year's Gala Nocturna I might attend the ball again next year. The people I met there were absolutely right - This type of event is a lot of fun and very addictive.

Here are a couple of pictures of Gala Nocturna:

I don't have that many news to write about, but I bring a couple of WIP pictures, previews of finished costumes and a finalized costume schedule for London Super Comic Con next weekend!

➡  First of all: Here's my finalized costume schedule for London Super Comic Con which takes place from February 23rd to 24th! Who else will be there? Let me know! I'd love to meet all of you!

I'm very excited to debute my Princess Leia costume there. I'm very happy about the way the costume turned out. It was a good decision to buy new fabric and to let TheLupin style it! Scroll further down, if you like! There's another picture of my finished Leia costume below. You can also find some silly GIFs on my Tumblr.



And here are a couple of pictures of my Margaery Tyrell outfit as well... I'll take further pictures of this costume as soon as my wig and my shoes arrive!




➡ I'm always happy to receive constructive criticism! I really hope you like the costumes so far!

Hey Folks! How are you?
➡ I just came across my dA journal and noticed that I hadn't updated it for more than a month. I'm terribly sorry. I should definitely publish journal entries more often. Gosh. Anyway, how has your New Years Eve been? What was your January and year of 2013 like so far?
I have to admit that I have been rather unproductive - at least when it comes to costume making. I had to take another exam at university and hand in a couple of papers. Now I'm struggling with the registration of my Bachelor Thesis... bureaucracy is surely annoying.

➡ But let's talk about nicer and more interesting subjects. I haven't worked on many costumes, but I haven't been completely inactive either. In the past weeks I made my first corset and ordered quite a lot of material for my Lucrezia Borgia and Margaery Tyrell costumes. I hope I can show you proper WIP pictures soon. For now have a picture of the finished corset and my new wig!




Edit: Margaery's underdress is finished as well..!


➡ Oh, I don't think I mentioned that the cosplay season of 2013 is going to start earlier than usual for me! Instead of Animuc the next convention I'm going to attend is London Super Comic Con from February 23rd to 24th!
Besides that I'm excited to announce that I'm allowed to work together with the amazing photographers of Sexy Cosplay Girls UK for a photo shooting on Friday, February 22nd! Gosh, I hope I'll be able to live up to their expectations!
Costumes I'm going to take with me to London are Robin, Princess Leia and Leah of Hel from Journey Into Mystery!

➡ Oh, and last but not least... I love travelling! After visiting conventions in Denmark and the UK last year, I'd love to attend a convention in Norway in 2013! :) Are there any particular conventions you could recommend? I'd be grateful if you could name a few. Or is there some kind of convention schedule for Norwegian conventions? That would be even better! Thanks a lot in advance!

PS: Thank you so much, NerdTitan for an amazing interview! Everybody who is interested in reading it - you can find it right HERE!
PPS: There are still a couple of prints FOR SALE!
