It's surreal seeing my work on all the socials right now. I've said it once and I'll say it again, this was such a dream come true of a job ❤️ #marnûkh #trop #theringsofpower #costumemaker #leatherwork
For a few weeks I knew exactly how many rivets I had to hammer into this breastplate. I've forgotten now, but it was definitely over a thousand.. Andrew Richardson looks so cool as Anarion in season 3 of Rings of Power ❤️ #CostumeMaker #leatherwork #RingsOfPower
Very excited to see more of my work in the new Rings of Power trailer tonight ❤️ Can't wait to see more of this guy in November #RingsOfPower #CostumeMaker #leatherwork
Fantasy Forest was incredible, as always 🧡 I'm so happy I was able to watch the Wicker Burning Ceremony this year.
Take 2 with fabric that will actually fit this whole design this time. I have a very very long way to go to reach where I did before, but I enjoyed it last time and I'm looking forward to doing it again ❤️ #blackworkembroidery #stitchsky
Pippin looks so beautiful in the sun. I always forget just how ginger he is 🧡
"Tomorrow Comes" I finally finished working on Sciel's jacket this week. I'm so happy with how it turned out. I've wanted to make something from this game for such a long time. Every costume is just so gorgeous ❤️ #stitchsky #costumemaker #cosplay
QTP with a robot thats not from Star Wars or Transformers 🎶 Queen 👑
I wanted to finish this last week, but the heatwave made that impossible. Hoping to get the lining in tomorrow and then at least the jacket will be completed ❤️ #cosplaywip #expedition33 #costumemaker
Been struggling to breathe because of anxieties for 3 days now. I'm so nervous.
I grabbed this Return to Silent Hill poster from a cinema near where I'm staying this weekend with the intention of selling or gifting it, but I dont mind the fact Pyramid Head is so much the focus on here 👀
Not a pretty progress photo, but I was able to finally get Sciel's collar finished today. Lining is ready to go in, but I ran out of piping and need to make more first. ##cosplaywip #Scielcosplay ##clairobscur
Hello! I'm Ell, a nonbinary costume maker for film, tv and theatre in London. I specialise in leatherwork and hand embroidery, and also make cosplay when I can find the time! I would love to follow new lgbtqa+ artists 🏳️🌈 Its so tough for us all right now, but we'll get through it somehow 💪
Progress on Sciel's jacket for my housemate. Just need to check the fitting and then I can crack on with the rest of it. #cosplaywip ##clairobscur
Finally was able to work on cosplay today. There's not much to see yet, but I'm loving the textures from these fabrics I've had in my wardrobe for probably over 10 years. #clairobscur #cosplaywip
Its been horrifically hot, but in the evenings as it cools down I've managed to make a little progress on my stitching. #stitchsky #cross-stitch #longdogsamplers
Little reminder that artists create art. Its so important that we remember there are still people behind the social media accounts. Im trying to be more visible on socials, because I feel people forget that there are humans just trying their best to make a living through the arts. #artistsmakeart
Proof I exist outside of my bed. I survived the heat wave and London comic con, but now I am ready to sleep the rest of the back holiday weekend.
Despite the heat today, I was able to at least piece together a pattern for a cosplay I can hopefully start on next week. Lets see how it goes.
It's very important that you see how handsome Pippin looks this evening 🧡
Second mock up of a Sciel jacket for my housemate, ready for a fitting. Hoping I can get these done for summer cons.
Had some time to relax today. I really needed to focus on something and to avoid doomscrolling. #stitchsky #longdogsamplers
Cliffside Stitches' April Blackwork SAL completed. This month was interesting to learn about 🧡 #stitchsky #blackworkembroidery #cliffsidestitchesSAL
10 years ago I threw together Matt the Radar Technician mostly as a joke, but I had an incredible time wearing this 😂 May the 4th be with you! #matttheradartechnician #starwars #starwarscosplay #maythe4thbewithyou
