As I expected, things turned out to be more difficult than I thought. In theory, everytuing seemed perfect, but in practice, well... lots and lots of problems emerged. I finally managed to get some time to ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/09/26/wip-athena-1/ I thought I should make a separate post about the cosplay competitions at Holdfeny Con, since that is my main field of interest and because I have a lot to say about it. I will also post all the videos and photos I have from the competitions, hoping that they will ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/09/01/cosplay-holdfenycon-2011/ I wanted to write about HoldfenyCon from the moment I stepped out the convention center, but I felt so tired that I feared no one would understand what I write. So now, with a rather fresh mind I am trying to tell the world how HoldfenyCon was for me. I will skip ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/08/30/summer-holdfeny-con-2011-review/ So many conventions lately!

It usually takes me a few months to make a costume, since I've been looking for challenges, and sometimes they can be pricey, so I have to ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/08/20/new-cosplay-vs-old-cosplay/ Finally the time to write here. I have so many things to tell, I don’t even know where to start. But let’s start with the conventions I have been to in the last month. The first one was Mondocon, which took place in Budapest, Hungary, on the 14th and the 15th ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/06/07/spring-mondocon-2011-review/ De mult mi-am propus sa fac public baremul dupa care voi nota eu la concursul de cosplay de la Otakufestival si iata ca a venit momentul.

But... ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/03/16/cosplay-tutorial-02/ As I was mentioning in the last post, I am starting a project. A video blog on making cosplay costumes. And since I will be part of the jury at Otaku Festival in May, I thought I should make a cosplay costume and also show the world how exactly I ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/03/07/detailed-cosplay-tutorial-introduction/ This a new start for Shinju's Workshop. Since I don't plan to do much with this blog besides presenting the lolita dresses we make, I was thinking of making it a bit more useful. You'll see exactly what I am talking about next week *wink*. One more important thing... from now ... http://shinjusworkshop.com/2011/02/13/back-to-cosplay/ Shinju's Workshop nu a mai fost activ de mult, cel putin nu pe internet. Am fost la Holdfeny Con la Budapesta pe 18 decembrie si ne-a placut mult.
