Lolita!

So excited! I just received a package today, it's my Lolita skirts! aahflajglakjgklajgla
Sorry, but I'm just so excited!


How pretty! They are from Bodyline (I bought from Lolita Sale UK) 
The lefthand skirt is the Alice print and the right is the carnival print, I think?

Now to make a Lolita co-ord <3

Sunny weekends..

So it's been another glorious weekend for the North East and I've been a busy bee!

Had lots of deliveries of these these cute supplies

Dinosaur, cupcake, Pacman, deer and many more fabrics for cute bows.

Which you can see below :3

Got my package of cute pastel star beads, they're so cute, and slightly curved.
I made some simple bracelets with these, using some for necklaces too. 

Parents are away for their holiday tomorrow, so my plan is to get a lot of my Aragorn cosplay complete. I hope I can anyway :D

Assassins Creed, Batman and Halo's Masterchief!

Been making a few little video game inspired bead sprites. Just little ones for now.



I attempted the AC symbol

Batman! (I was going to put the nananana's but wasn't sure how many there was :S)

Masterchief!

Planning on making more video game inspired things, I'm at a retro gaming event in a few weeks, so I'll be making lots of goodies for that!

NERG - North East Retro Gaming event.

Screen-con

Very late update, but I went to Screen-con (Sci-fi convention) on May 4th, it was it's very first event, and it was fantastic! I was a dealer there so I wanted to keep my costume quite simple, and my table buddy was going as fem!Bofur (just a female version of a character) so I went as fem!Thorin with a Lolita twist.

I made the belt buckle and mini bracers very quick before the con, just out of foam, little test run for Aragorn.

Just wore a big poofy black skirt and top with geometric patterns.

For Screen-con I wanted to look at what was famous in the Sci-fi genre. Well that just pretty much consists of all the 'Star' movies, Star Trek, Star Wars, I never got around to making any Stargate or Battlestar Galactica stuff :(

Here we have part of my face and Star Trek TNG communicator badge, R2D2 and Boba Fett.

After finally getting to North Shields, we walked into a massive hall with rows of tables and set up, I have the bestie with me with her amazing drawings set up (currently persuading her to get her own table at future events, I know she can do it! She's finally getting her confidence back, which is ace). I bought a sign for my stall, but forgot the string, idiot that I am.

Unfortunately there were empty tables either side of mine :/ Which was annoying, as I knew someone who wanted a table, but Screen-con said there wasn't any.... well.
But I managed to pick up Eomer and Laura picked up Gimli.

Sexy mo'fo's

There were alot of amazing cosplay/costumes there, I only managed to get a few pictures of them, I keep telling myself I'll get more!
Oh and there was this lovely Bofur cosplayer too!


Doctor Who cosplayers.

As I said, it was an amazing event to go too, and I can see it doing well in the future, they've already arrange Scream-con for October which I'll be going to. Just hope they sort out events to do during the day, as I couldn't tell what was on myself.





Last Of Us

So I've only recently heard about this game and I just brushed it off as a Fallout-esqe game (I've only played the 1st one when I was a young'un and was terrified by it, so I've never played any of them since, even though I know they are meant to be amazing games, maybe one day I will). It's caming out around the time that we have Tomb Raider, Walking Dead and Uncharted, which it looks a combination of to me.


Of course I have never read anything about it or watched any of the trailers.
Looks unbelievable pretty

Oh. My. Fucking. God. 

I remember wiki-ing The Road a few years ago, after I had watched The Book Of Eli, which is fantastic btw, I just remember how interesting it was that someone would go so far to help out a child that wasn't there's, that their survival meant more to them than their's. I hope that Naughty Dog will keep this in the Last Of Us, and that the girl, Ellie, will be able to help you, Joel, out, maybe like Elizabeth in Bioshock Infinite!
Gameplay trailer

Also it's Troy Baker! adjlakhgjlglajg. (Do you think we'll get to ride horses??)

Now to get a PS3 :(

Ho shit son! Telltale Games

Telltale games just teased future content on their Twitter!

I watched Yogscast Hannah's playthrough of the first season, and it was amazing, I'm not a one to play zombie games (scaredy cat here!)

She play's video games pretty similar to me (though she's a wee bit better XD) so it's nice not to have to play them, but still thinking about buying it in the future, as I totally bum Telltale Games.

Here's the link to one of Telltale Games' Vine's https://vine.co/v/b3YOhn5DTFA - Russell
Go check out the rest, mega excited!

Here's a link to their Twitter too! https://twitter.com/telltalegames

So I recently got into playing with Hama beads (also called Perler beads and Fuse beads) and bought lots of mini ones, these are tiny! I recommend using tweezers with them, and of course a peg board.

These are my first attempts!


 Legend of Zelda Health Bar and Pacman!



Red and Green Super Mario Mushroom

 Super Mario Super Star and Pokeball



White and Black Mage from Final Fantasy


'Wark' Yellow Chocobo from Final Fantasy


These were all unbelievably fun to do! I've made many more since doing these fellas and won't be stopping anytime soon :3 
Check out my facebook page over here!

I'm setting up a tumblr page at the moment for my jewellery, it'll be under the name of charlesbazaar just like this.
