I'm giving away a set of Ariel bra shells to help you make your mermaid costumes!  I'm holding this contest on my Facebook page here www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi… as well as on Tumblr here celcia.tumblr.com/post/6133150…

I'm giving away 2 pairs total so you can enter both for double the chances to win!

It took me a while but I finally figured out how to set up my Storenvy account.  It's pretty cool since it has a Facebook app that installs your wares into your Facebook page.   celcia.storenvy.com  Right now I'm selling mostly mermaid accessories and some of my old costumes (such as my Kairi one) but I plan on putting other things in there in the future such as wigs and new cosplay accessories.  Unlike Etsy, I don't have to pay any seller's fees so I may switch over if this place finally picks up.

In cosplay related news, I'm gathering a ton of applique for a Queen Serenity (Sailor Moon) cosplay.  I'm waiting on everything to arrive at the warehouse of my shopping service so I probably won't be able to start that until next month... blergh.  It is a lot of applique though... about 100 pieces but I don't think I'll be able to use them all.   Until then, I'll be working on a Weiss Schnee (RWBY web series) cosplay since I have all the fabric from leftover and abandoned cosplay projects.  That costume is more or less an excuse to utilize my embroidery machine (which I haven't gotten much use out of since buying it a year ago) and to try making my own lace.  That... and I just wanna give some of that fabric laying around a purpose.  It'll be fun burning the designs into the bolero though.

Follow me on Facebook! www.facebook.com/celciaflames  I update that place a lot more often than I do here.

Hey, guys!  I'm doing a giveaway on my Facebook page where the prize is a handmade replica of the popular Usagi Tsukino's engagement/promise ring (as seen in this deviation fav.me/d4vl9vp).  The contest is world wide and anyone with a Facebook account can enter!  All you have to do is follow the 3 simples rules as stated here www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi…!  Contest ends on April 14th.

Good luck, everyone!

It is cold.  I hate winter.

Because the once relevant cosplay.com has become a cespool for stupidity, people pretending to be mods, people not reading, and never ending supply of facepalms, I'll be adding all of my cosplay related work here and my Facebook page www.facebook.com/CelciaFlames instead (which is what I should have been doing).  I've been feeling this way for over a year about that place.  Have you seen the state of the forums over there?  Sheesh.  Talk about babby's first cosuprey site...

I'm working on my Serah Farron cosplay!  So far I'm almost finished painting the boots, ordered the official necklace and earrings (came last summer), and ordered some custom printed fabric for the skirt.  Right now I'm still working on the bracelet and the hair tie, which I'm awaiting for more crystals to arrive in the mail.  Other than needing some crystals, I've got everything to create this.  Originally, I wasn't really intending on putting this costume onto my list for 2013 but after seeing how good I looked in my friend's Serah cosplay, I went "Oh, what the hell."  Funny enough, Lightning was my first choice of character since she's my favorite.  The game is pretty... bland for a Final Fantasy game, but I do like the characters (...'cept for Hope).  I've had the game since launch and still haven't finished it thanks to that horribly thought out battle system.  ANYWAY, enough of my video game rant.

Since I won't be taking anymore commissions for quite some time now, I finally have a great deal of free time to work on personal projects for this year (Serah, Blaze, and White).  I don't plan on adding anymore characters other than those three since... well... I recently cleaned up my sewing room/office and found out that I have more scraps than I'd like.  So many scraps from finished cosplays... like enough to make full, new costumes.

Oh and.  I may be selling my Kairi cosplay in the future so I'll probably make another update about that once I've finished Serah.
