Akia Update!
July 3, 09~ Watching peedeeflo's AX videos have made me extremly anxious for EPAC 09 (even though I know I should not compare AX to EPAC). I'm trying to figure out what cosplay to make... my goal is to figure it out no later than tommorrow. I've narrowed the choices down to Riku from D.N.Angel and Yui from K-ON. ...actually, I think I'll be school uniform Orihime saturday and another version of Orihime on sunday.
July 4, 09~ My Orihime cosplay so far -> [link]
July 5, 09~ Last night I had a lot of fun shooting off fire works, setting off fountains, sparklers, smoke/ sparkler bombs and other such fire hazards. I'll be posting v-log either later today/ night or tommorrow because I'm going to cookout after I finish a few things.
July 6, 09~ I did not have time to put together my 4th of July v-log that I promised the other day... so I'm just going to say that you'll get it before the end of July. I have an anime convention this weekend and a party next, so I'll probably make a multi-part video log. OH, that's an excellent idea I bought fabric for my Orihime skirt
NEW I finished making Orihime's skirt yesterday as well as pieces to finish the shirt and hair clips. I'm really excited to see the whole outfit together.... but the wig hasn't come yet

ANIME CATCH-UP DAYS!!
I've been getting behind in my anime watching... so I've decided to have anime catch-up days... which I'll list here along with what I've watched (so you don't go spoiling me!). YAYYYYYYYYYY.
I've decided that July 8th and 9th, 2009 will be anime catch-up days as long as my Orihime skirt is finished.

Projects
Rukia (from Bleach) in a summer dress for
COSPLAY FOR EPAC.
Working on coloring this picture of Akia on Microsoft Paint:

Buttons: I've been watching several DA artists who have been making buttons, keychains, ect for anime conventions.... and I've been inspired to try my hand at making buttons. I might make fan art buttons, but I'm sure there will be original ones of characters I draw of my own.
FANART: I don't have much fan art on my DA... so I'm working on changing that. Haha.
