I'M FINISHED!!!
Feels so good to be able to type that, you have
no idea. Oh but I hope I'm not making it sound like I didn't enjoy
myself, I certainly enjoyed some elements. It was incredibly gratifying
to see all these little projects unfold, I think the best of which is my
patchwork corset. I wore it to college the other day and got some
really positive feedback from everyone there, most of the people who saw
it hadn't realised that I'd made it and were incredibly impressed when I
said that I had. But then having said that I feel that the confidence I
gained from wearing my Miku costume (the one with the free handed silk
panels) on stage at LFCC is enormously important and that experience has
given birth to a tenacious, gnawing desire to enter more cosplay
competitions. And to top it off I've gotten some rather brilliant ideas
for t-shirts, so it's been pretty win-win really.
If I
was going to do anything differently I'd certainly give myself more
time. If I'd been able to I would much rather have done this as a summer
project so that college didn't interfere and vice versa. I won't say it
hasn't been stressful doing both since I've had to keep up with course
work and hand in final pieces for two projects (one of which I got the
grades back for, a merit and a distinction) at the same time. Aside from
timing though, I wouldn't change anything. Every mistake has been an
education and every success has magnified my ego.
