hi!!! leaving this here for anyone trying linoprinting: if you want a really solid block of color, try to only move the roller one direction when rolling ink onto your stamp. if you go back and forth, you’ll just end up picking the ink back up and while it may look fully covered, you’ll get a patchier appearance when printing. ok love you guys amazing cosplay you’re totally one of my biggest inspirations sarah byeeee!!

Watching people make genshin costumes instead of buying them makes me think when I (eventually) do Mona I might make her since I've seen a few people do corseted bodysuits (including you!!)

Anyone wanting to use printing for their cosplay: She is using speedy carve, which is different than linoleum. It is easier to use as it is softer and probably better for printing on fabric. Also, they do in fact make ink for this. Find “block printing ink” for fabric. Speedball has “Fabric Block printing ink.” To properly get ink on your “brayer” (the roller), get a pane of glass like a picture frame glass (it does need to be a fairly large piece of glass for most prints, and if the edges are sharp, cover them with masking tape). This glass is where you will be putting your ink down and rolling it out. Use a ink knife to create a line of ink and roll the ink out. Look up how to coat a brayer with ink for block printing tutorials to learn how to know when you have just the right amount of ink prepared. Speedball ink is easy to wash off the glass. Just use the ink knife to scrape away excess and you can use paper towel and water to remove the rest.

"if you're willing to put in the work you still might end up with something that makes you happy" is such a great message and especially so for newer cosplayers like me. I made my first ever hand-sewn cosplay 2 years ago and my mom thought I was crazy for even attempting it as I hadn't sewn since preschool, but through sheer will, a desire to make it, and a lot of very helpful online tutorials I did end up with something I was really really proud of and it sparked an interest to make more cosplays!

So I will have my First real self made costume for yun jin in the early 2023 month. Your Video is encouraging and resembles what many forgot over the past years. Cosplay is not perfection.

In high school I did a lot of block printing. What we did for the ink was to get a rectangular plexiglass plate and put a glob of ink at the top. We would get a tiny bit on the roller then roll it underneath, continuing to get more and roll until we heard a "sticky" or "clicking" sound while rolling. You also want that sound when rolling onto the block you are printing from. Whether it be one of the rubber ones or corkboard, you want to hear that sound. It means you are getting just enough ink to make it dark but not too much ink that it gets messy

I just found you and you now have a forever subscriber! I love that you tried experimenting with lino blocks for your cosplay. Especially because I am a huge relief print fan and it’s one of my favorite art mediums to work with. For someone who claims they don’t quite know what they’re doing and you did amazing. I especially loved that you took a paintbrush to help thin out the paint on your block because I could see that the paint consistency was not quite right, it was too gloopy, and had to be thinned out. You had such an ingenious way to fix your problem! I also want to say thank you, you’ve inspired me to go back into cosplay, and even though I am not the best at sewing. Maybe I can lean on my strengths and try a cosplay and use block printing with it. Who knows but I am definitely excited to try again!😊

“Even if it’s got extra toes” is what I needed to hear right now. I’m making a Chrissy Cunningham cosplay and seeing the love, dedication and attention to small sometimes seemingly pointless details is giving me the push I need. I’ve literally put my blood into this thing learning to punch needle patches. Wich has been frustrating since I bought the wrong fabric have made three different iterations trying to get the right shade of yellow/orange and shapes, had the threader break and have sliced my hands to hell and back. I also have had to learn to drape since the “easy hack” for the white section of her vest (cutting a slightly larger t shirt to match then sewing it together” didn’t work with my mahoosive yabbos 🙄. I’ve been taking a break from all that to make the skirt while I watch you videos and can rest easy knowing that even if my hair-brained schemes to cheat the athletic tape at the bottom doesn’t work out I’m still on the right path. I’m sure there’s more lessons I’ll learn but I can feel better knowing that even if I’m poorer in finances from my mistakes I’ll be richer in knowledge because I learned from them. ❤
