Review: Cauldron of Mischief

In early November last year I was planning to cosplay Horo from Spice and Wolf for MCM Birmingham Comic Con. Due to a lack of time and personal skill/experience I was unsure I would be able to make the ears and tail in time for the event as well as the outfit. Cauldron of Mischief offered
her services to me to make them both for me and knowing her previous high levels of experience in making cosplay props I knew I could trust in her. 

She kept me informed along the whole process of her making them, this included when the fabric was ordered, when it arrived and regularly updated me with progress photos. She also was kind enough to transport the wig and tail to the event itself with her and hand them over to me there which I really appreciated. 

I was thrilled when I saw them, they were really well made and the fur fabric is of an excellent quality. The waistband fitted comfortably around me so the tail sat naturally. The ears were of a perfect scale and were attached to very strong grip clips so they stayed put in my wig all day. I can't express enough how cuddly and big the tail was, it matched perfectly with my height and the shape was very realistic!
All in all this was an excellent commission and a very reasonable price at £50. I will definitely
be interested in commissioning from Cauldron of Mischief again.

Below are some images of the products being worn, as you can see they looked great!

Photo Set: Hope @ Birmingham MCM Comic Con November 2015


Another great set from Birmingham MCM last year, this time with Moonlily cosplaying Hope from Final Fantasy XIII. 









Photo set: LittleGeeky at Birmingham MCM Comic Con November 2015


My dear friend LittleGeeky let me take some photos of her cosplay at this event last year and I only just realised I never posted the full photoset myself. So here we go, she cosplayed Chii from Chobits on the Saturday and Wan from Avatar on the Sunday. One thing I really admire about LG is her ability to be so flexible in cosplays, she looks totally adorable and gentle as Chii but also looks strong and mature as Wan. It's great! I really enjoyed working with her and I hope we get to do it again this year! LG is also an awesome videographer and you can check out her video of Birmingham MCM and other events here

Cosplay time! Freyakins as Kotori Minami!



Here's something a little different from what I've been posting but I want to do more often when I can. My beautiful friend Freyakins in her Love Live! cosplay of Kotori in the training outfit. I'm a 100% newbie when it comes to photographing people, I find it a bit scary! But also I want to create images that show how wonderful that person is. I think Freya looks really beautiful in her cosplay and I hope these photos show her how amazing she looks and that she keeps at it and does more! This is only a small part of a full set I did but I'm having a lot of internet trouble at the moment. I will update this post later in the week with the rest of the images. I hope these are okay for now. If you have any constructive advice on taking portraits, please tell me as I want to improve! 




Alpaca is always relevant! 
Gimmie your hearts!



Fighto!



This one is my favourite as I think I tried my best here and managed to get a really good portrait of a beautiful cosplayer!


EDIT, here's the rest :)
