Fire Kimono: Wintershoot (Tsubasa Cosplay)

Description

This costume was made for AN2011 but I adore it so very much and so rarely get to wear it. I've wanted to have pictures in the snow like this since maybe even before I started making it. So this winter we had a glorious snowfall here in Southern Ontario and I dragged my brother out to get some shots. Unfortunately I didn't have my new sakura wig ready so my hair is wrong, but snow waits for no woman! The kimono itself was lovely and warm but my face and hands got absolutely numb by the end of the shoot. Totally worth it.

I'm still learning how to edit ufraw images so I'll be slowly uploading a few more of my favourites. I need to finish up the making of on my website too so I can answer folks questions.

Briefly: Yes I made it, the flames are handpainted with pebeo setacolor paints <3 and took 3 straight days of painting to complete, the staff is paper mache covered carved foam and cardboard topping a curtain rod, my obi is actually half obi and half corset in design.

My brother is the photographer, check out his flickr gallery: [link]
