Mirari made the most wondrous things. She could make something out of almost anything and other things out of nothing. Her greatest work of all came from a gift her father gave her. Little Apple Red says you cannot always be sure of what you see and even if you choose to trust your eyes, it may lead you to a darker fate...
Mirari found herself in the Inbetween when her dreams and waking life became one in the same.

- So happy
The dress is looking good. I have finally got the sleeves on. The only thing left is to sew the collar and skirt hem and to add the roses. Will be popping into town to get the right colour thread. I thought I had some but it was too bright.
Then will work out how i would attach the pom poms onto my shoes as I couldn’t find any shoe clips in town or the ones that I have.
What a day!!!Been very busy today so haven’t got any updated pictures just yet. Went into town to purchase materials for this cosplay. Didn’t quite get everything I needed but will pop into town tomorrow.
Purchased the wig today and clipped on the pom poms. 1 more full day to go! The mask is taking shape and just needs to be smoothed out and painted. The prop still has a way to go.
Most of the dress is complete, only the sleeves, sewing the hem and adding the roses left to do. Still haven’t been able to find shoe clips so will need to work out another way to put the other set of pom poms. Need to add the ribbons onto the tights and i’m a little short on the ribbon, so will pop out in the morning to get some more.
Ribbon Roses & Furry Pom Poms
Started working on some of the accessories/items for this cosplay.First thing I worked on was the roses. You can normally buy ribbon roses, however they were not big enough, so I thought I would make them myself. Using the instructions from BurdaStyle which did not require too much work. I made a total of 3 roses and 6 leaves.
As there were no pom poms you could buy that were big enough, I opted to make them. There were 2 methods:- Method 1: How to make Pom Poms from NezumiWorld
- Method 2: Making Fur Pom Poms from The Urban-Aborginal
The two methods are completely different but achieve the same thing. I decided on Method 2 as it was close to pom poms that you would buy. The pom poms were stuffed with toy stuffing to give it shape.
Last minute decisionOn the evening of Sunday 23rd May 2011, I decided that I wanted to make a cosplay for the following weekend. This was mainly due to someone who will be appearing at the event. So after searching for an ideal cosplay, I came up with this one.
After finding a number of good research pictures, I decided that I could make this within a couple days for the event on Saturday.
