Set my first grommets last night! Now I just need to topstitch (which I'm bringing TO comic con to finish 🙃 at least it's something to do at panels for the first two days).

This is for my spouse's Harrow cosplay from Gideon/Harrow the ninth. It's vegtan leather wrapped in lambskin because it's an item they'll definitely use in day to day life as well.

i was gonna make a post like "this pride month, pour one out for the polyam folks for having the worst flag"

(and like, i know theres been a bunch of flags, but this is the one i've seen the most)

however! when i went to google the polyam flag, i found this website, where they apparently held a vote for a new flag that accurately represented the community (and, presumably, didn't look like absolute dogshit), and they apparently settled on this one!

i hadn't seen it before, but I think it looks really nice and if you check their website, it seems like they have good reasoning/backing/community support, so I really hope I see it around more!!!

#polyamory #our brand colors are actually inspired by the new flag #i love it so much i hated our old flag

How's your wednesday going? Oh, ours? Very normal! We have a sword hanging in our shower.

My husband's work in progress prop crafting for his Gideon Nav cosplay (from Gideon the Ninth). Anyone else last minute cosplay crafting for NY Comic Con or is it just us?

#prop making #gideon the ninth #gideon cosplay #cosplay #nycc 2023 #gideon nav #nathaniel crafts #i swear we meant to do all our cosplay crafting sooner #but the thing is we also have a wedding with a bunch of diy next week #listen we are doing our best #it's remarkable that all four of us are going to have four finished cosplays all things considered

Welcome to our crafting zone, friend!

The four of us are a polycule! We are all married and living together. Despite living in a tiny apartment, we somehow manage to churn out so so many crafts.

The Polycule

Meghan (she/they) - the primary person running the blog. A queer disabled femme with a hobby of picking up new hobbies. Latest hyperfixation is leatherworking. Other crafts include embroidery, digital art and every cricut craft imaginable. In our cosplay work, their focus is makeup, leather and detail work like embroidery or heat transfer vinyl.

Gabe (they/them) - an adhd nerd that never stops crafting because they always need to be doing at least three things. Their first love is knitting, but they have recently picked up "the devil's craft" (aka crochet). Other crafts include: sewing, embroidery and digital art. In our cosplay work, they are our primary tailor and a wizard with the sewing machine.

Nic (she/they) - a chaotic genderfluid media lover who is the only one who can always find Meghan & Gabe's things. Their primary crafts are junk journaling and gouache painting. In our cosplay work, they primarily handle our wigs and face painting.

Nathaniel (he/him) - the newest crafter in our squad, but our number one fix it guy when it comes to being handy around the house. Those skills have translated well to his newfound love of all things prop making, which is his main contribution to our cosplay work.

What's Next?

We're just getting this blog started, so the blog is very much under construction.

We're planning to eventually work on buy lists and how tos for the various crafts and cosplay. We also do a lot of design work and eventually want to set up an online shop for patterns, digital designs, and maybe even some merchandise!

A tag system is in the works. As disabled folks, we want to be as accessible as possible! We try to include image IDs on all our photos. Please let us know if you want us to tag something!

Weeding done, time for heat press!

Nic and I (Meghan) are doing a Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn cosplay this year but, like, a cozy weekend morning domestic Harley and Ivy with PJs and robes. You'd think it'd be less time and money to make a PJ cosplay but not in this house 🙃

You know maybe doing comic con cosplay and a wedding with lots of last minute DIY all within a two week period wasn't the BEST idea but we sure are doing it

#nycc 2023 #nycc #cosplay #wedding diy #i swear i've slept #sometime in the last few weeks probably #between crafting and my day job #i swear #might as well start a blog too

good idea: marry a blacksmith so you can get free swords whenever 

#okay but like #my polycule started cosplaying recently #this is no longer a joke for us #we all specialized and now we are churning out clothes and weapons and leatherworking #it's the best #polyarmory #polyamory
