The art that was made this month that has a spooky festive theme. Of course there’s other things that was made. But they aren’t Halloween related. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Crochet Harley Quinn Wig (How-To)
Oh hey! What’s happening?h hey! Last year I cosplayed as Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. This blog post is sharing the how to create a creative spin hair for a Harley Quinn cosplay– crochet the wig, similar to the cabbage patch wigs–but way cooler and dye the ends. An unworn, undyed wig. This is my Miku one. For Harley, use a yellow or blonde yarn. Unless you’re going for a Miku Harley crossover~ Here’s to creating and experimenting with a unique spin on Harley’s twin tails: Pro-Tip: Use diluted acrylic paint to dye acrylic yarn. The RIT dye doesn’t dye synthetic fibers like Red Heart Super Saver yarn. However if…

Crochet Rosalina Cosplay
I just realized on March 19th 2017 that the story of my Rosalina cosplay isn’t on my blog. I know. What am I doing with my life? Please note this blog post is written two years after its creation. It’s not new, but my blog is kind of new. So work dated as far back as 2014 may pop up. So in October of 2015, a local comic book store was holding a Halloween costume contest. I decided to enter and make my costume. Conveniently in the same month. Because waiting until the last minute is the best way to execute plans(not). Anyway, I had just gotten obsessed with Rosalina…

Crochet Ariel Birthday Cosplay/Cosbound
So this is a story all about how my life got– oh wait. I decided to cosplay as Ariel on my 29th birthday. I am entirely convinced that I’m indeed a mermaid, well at least in swimming pools. Hurray for finding an exercise that is enjoyable that doesn’t feel like work. I had a few personal goals outside of cosplay that I wanted to experience. One, no social media for the day. I give myself a 90, I posted this pic at the end of the day on Instagram after dinner and lurked Reddit. However, throughout the day I spent it in the real world and with my dad. He…

Crochet Link Hat(Zelda)+Pattern Link
So this past Wednesday I was taking my lunch break from school when one of the cafe workers in the coffee shop asked me how much I would charge to make her a Link hat. I told her I don’t sell or accept commissions. Then that was that. Or was it? I felt rather ambitious and wanted to take a break from my amigurumi projects. So I decided I’d whip one up for her by surprise. The first draft came up horribly in my opinion. I had this weird beret/cone beanie hybrid. So I did the hardest thing a hooker does, I frogged it. … My amigurumi dolls are implying…

Crochet Fairy Dress〜?
A beautiful crocheted dress design I freehand crocheted. This dress was originally created in 2016. Before mikumarmalade.com was a thing.? I crocheted myself a fairy dress to go out on the town for a local LARP event a while back. I like to try various things out. Yes I’m intensely focused on whatever game I was enjoying. I wonder if it was Mario Kart… I created wings from fabric, wire hangers and paint. Dress concept art:

My not-so-stellar experience selling crocheted stuff
Disclaimer: This blog post is not meant to dissuade or discourage anyone out there who sells their crochet work or dreams of doing so. If you find your efforts are paying off, by all means, go make a killing!! Hi. If you’ve spoken to me within that last couple of years, you’d know I’m very adamant about not trying to sell my crochet work. I’ve tried numerous routes in my arsenal to make money from my crochet talent in my later 20’s. Most efforts ended in complete failure or close to it. A casual vlog of my discussion why I don’t sell my art(crochet) I tried having an Etsy shop, I…
