Damn, it is nigh-impossible to not write Anima as “Anime” every single time!

Anyway, thought I’d give a little status update on my Anima cosplay, as referenced first here.

Last night I finished the top, which is a Vogue pattern jersey cross-top. I really dislike using Vogue patterns and this gave me a little heartburn, but a few hours of sewing and it’s done and looks great. This weekend I work on the skirt, which will be very simple, and the outfit is done.

I also began the accessories last night. I gold leafed the icon that will hang around my neck in summon form. The rest of the jewelry will be a mix of acrylic stones and sculpey that I’ll paint.

As for the mask and wings, that’s Ger’s project. Pictures speak louder than words on that front:

MY EYES ARE LEDS AND THEY FREAKING GLOW, YOU GUYS.
