Finished Costumes

Guru Clef--from Magic Knight Rayearth
How?: The giant robe/cape was a rented part of the costume. The overlay on the top was made and just sucked. The staff was hand carved and weighed a ton. This was my first costume and a VERY good learning experience.
When?: Premiered at Otakon 2000. This costume is only going to see the light of day again if it is totally redone.

Amiboshi--from Fushigi Yuugi
How?: The entire costume was handmade, though not totally complete, some "trim" needed to be added to make it perfect. The flute is owned by me and I play.
When?: Premiered at Otakon 2001. This one girl had a thing for stealing my pants.... fangirls! (Otakon 2002/AnimeUSA 2002/Katsucon 2003/Otakon 2003)
Amiboshi's Theme The little diddy I played all throughout the convention.

Shinji Ikari--from Neon Genesis Evangelion
How?: The pants I own, the white dress shirt I own, and the navy blue shirt is a Pokemon shirt. I made the hair clips out of hard styrofoam by hand and attached the clips with hot glue.
When?: Premiered at Otakon 2001 for a skit in the cosplay. Otakon 2002 for a one day costume. AnimeUSA 2002 on Friday for the day.
Headpiece Tutorial A quick super mini-cheesy tutorial on how to make Shinji's headpieces.

Kei Kusanagi--from Onegai Teacher
How?: Time for prebought stuff again. Thrown together with my dress pants and dress shoes. The purple undershirt was something I sort of had, but I'm going to remake it better. The jacket... I absolutely LOVE the jacket I made. It is so freaking nice! Finally something that looks like actual clothing. Have to reactach all the buttons since they all fell off.
When?: Premiered at Otakon 2003 on Saturday. No one took my picture!
Pictures Just two that I took myself.

Washyuu--from Tenchi Muyo
How?: Now onto my fifth costume, I believe this is my best so far. The black skirt was bought and the white dress shirt I owned. The red velvet vest was hand made and came out very nice, though the cheap velcro to put it together in the front is kind of hideous, but its stick on and can peel off. The wrist bands and neck bands are just black elastic. The wig was commissioned through Katie Bair. Unfortuneately I couldn't wear it, so it will be sold to someone else.
When?: Never premiered, yet. I may do this in the future, but for now I'll leave it as a retired costume in the closet. (Besides the wig, the costume is finished.)
Pictures None as of yet.

Sango--from Inu-yasha
How?: Started watching Inu-yasha! Just clicked in my head. I amazed with how this one came out. I am going to have to get some better pictures.
When?: Otakon 2004 - Friday and Saturday, AnimeUSA 2004 - Friday and Saturday
