Iron wig sale by CelticSakura

It's a great opportunity to get a one-of-a-kind wig! It pains me to sell these, but I really need to make some space for new wigs! And the money won't hurt too ;) SO I hope I can find a new caring home for them!

Thanks for the interest, and please spread the word! <3

Woah, my last journal entry dates from February. I'll never succeed in being more regular, will I xD

I just wanted to take a few moments to write about Arda Wigs' Iron Wig contest! I've been participating in this contest since January, and now we are only two contestants left for the final round, myself and xHee-Heex! We had to make three wigs, and you can take a look at the photos here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?se…

The public poll is up, so you can vote for your favourite set of wigs: kingdom-arts.org/viewtopic.php…
You have to register to the forum to cast your vote, it only takes a few minutes! (The answer to the question "What color is 064" is "black")

The contest was a real roller coaster ride, and I'm really glad I could make it to the end. I was sure I would be voted out first round xD But it gave me the opportunity to try a lot of new things and learn a lot about wig styling. It was also a great challenge in terms of creativity and coming up with original ideas.

So thanks to everyone who followed and supported me during all those months of hard work!! And go vote! :)

Hi everyone!

Here's A little update on my recent activities and future ones!

1. G-Anime 2013 in January
It was great! I was a guest cosplayer and had the chance to host three panels: one on patterns, one on wigcraft and one on how to make a high level cosplay. I was really surprised with the number of attendees! I also had the help of :icongebgeb: and it was really fun!

I did a little photoshoot in my Ariel cosplay with :iconmaverickdelta:. The photos are lovely! I'll add some on my pages, but you can visit his page to see all of them!

On Sunday I had the chance to be a judge for G-Anime Idol alongside Irulanne and Jean-Philippe Méthot. There were really good entries, this show is always worth watching!

Thanks to everyone for making my weekend great, even if it was only by saying "hi"! :)

2. Iron Wig
I've been chosen among 10 finalists to participate in Arda Wigs' IRON WIG competition. I'm really proud to be the only canadian, in fact, the only non-american to participate! Represent!!
The other contestants are amazing wig stylists, some of them are even my idols, and now I get to compete with them. I feel so honored!

The first round ended on February 5th, and you can see everyone's work on Arda's FB page:
www.facebook.com/media/set/?se…
(I love seeing all those french comments on my pictures <3)
I was scared of not meeting the expectations, but with the results, I feel so much more confident. I'll keep working hard!

You can watch the silly video review of our wigs here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uoC-y…

Everyone made it to round 2 (one contestant had to withdraw because of work, so now we're 9), and we're waiting to receive the rules of the second challenge. I'm really excited and ready to get down to business >:D

3. Next conventions
Geekfest in Montreal (April)
I haven't decided if I'm gonna go. I'm still thinking about it!

Nadeshicon in Quebec City (April)
I'll be there for sure since it's taking place in my hometown. If I have time, I'll maybe make a Crysta costume from the movie Ferngully. But it depends on if I find time and motivation :P

Anime North in Toronto (May)
Woo! I'll go to AN this year! I haven't attended this convention since 2009, when I cosplayed Terra with my friend :icongebgeb: as Celes. I'm so excited to go again!! This was one of my favorite convention and I was always sad to miss it year after year. I'm not really planning any new costume, anyway I don't intend to enter the masquerade. I'll probably wear Ariel again and Ayla to go with some friends.

Otakuthon in Montreal (August)
I'll be there again this year (I haven't missed one since the first edition on 2006!) I have a new cosplay planned, which is Juliet from Lollipop Chainsaw. I'll be cosplaying with :icongenkimami: and :iconmllefe:. Not planning to enter the mascarade this time. This will be a first for me since I've always participated in Otakuthon's masquerade. Oh well, it'll give me time to do other things I guess!

----------------------------------------

I'm really trying to keep up with cosplay, but it's really hard, especially with school (and sports, and dance), which takes a lot of my free time. I'm not going to all conventions I'd want to, and not making all the costumes I'd want to... but I try to continue.
I'm really looking forward to making a "big" costume. I haven't made one of those in quite some time...

Well cya next time! :)

As usual, I post an update every 30 years...

After my usual Otakuthon cosplay break/lack of motivation, I'm back on track again and started my new project! I'm working on Ariel's pink gown from Disney's Little Mermaid :) I'll try and post progress pictures on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/celticsakura
I'll be most likely wearing it at G-Anime 2013.

And we finally received our photoset from alucardleashed of our FFX group at Otakuthon. The pictures are amazing! You can see the complete album here: www.flickr.com/photos/alucard_…
I'm still waiting for my Gaga photoset to come out, I'm really looking forward to it!

Well then, see you next time!

First of all, yay! Username change!
It was about time. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Sakura_CC was the nickname I used on forums since I was around 14 years old, and I couldn't stand the "_CC" anymore. (Say it out loud, you'll see it's not that poetic :))
I wanted something that represents me more and is unique, while still keeping the "Sakura". I chose CelticSakura because I love the celtic culture, and I've been practicing Irish dancing for several years. (I should post a pic or a video sometime!)


Also, I moved in with my boyfriend on the first of July and we're still not finished unpacking. My sewing room is a mess, but it's functional! So I can work on my Rikku cosplay for Otakuthon! Less than three weeks left... I started early so I'll make it without problems :P
I just have to get my computer fixed, because I have to do the mixing for our skit, and Adobe Premiere is already installed on my desktop computer.


And the news are out! I'm gonna be a cosplay guest at G-Anime 2013 with jusdepomme, Painxsorrow, Dart: Dense Boy and the-mirror-melts!
I'm really happy that they invited me, and I'll make a new costume for the occasion of course!
More info here: ganime.ca/2013/en/invites-cosp…


I'll post more info on my cosplay and schedule for Otakuthon later! :)
