To add to the hat, I would have glued on less cap mushrooms and done them in small clusters and not all the way around, and then added grass and moss to the top and then roots dangling out of the bottom, there seemed to be too much "dirt" showing, but still a valiant effort! My cost sunk cosplay was my Steven Universe OC, I ended up still getting it done but needed to purchase a custom petal skirt for it. Now I've gone and started to turn it into a new outfit, repurposing some pieces and tossing other pieces all to make it into an Autumn fairy ;w;

Yes!!! I was also thinking more around the edge like in the concept art, and some moss. It would look GREAT with moss. I also feel like the dress is really cute, but is too bright and nice looking to match with the dirt/scary look of the hat.

Great video! I think the most important part of the sunk cost fallacy is acknowledging that it is a fallacy. You don’t really lose anything because you did gain progress compared to where you started. In addition, you’re actually saving yourself from further “sunk cost” (more materials used, more time spent) when you step away from a project instead of forcing yourself to finish.

"Skirts, pockets, boobs" -- you just named all of my favorites. Sarah, you really are my favorite youtube channel these days! Can't wait to run into you at a Con someday and nerd out over the sewn details in our cosplays. Edit: I did want to mention that I just made a structured bodice for a gown that my bff is wearing in a local fashion show & I used a smooth (and still breathable) heavy drapery fabric as the structural layer -- it works beautifully! Additional Edit: What if you made a little fascinator style ant with giant cordys coming out of it's body? I think the scale may help too :) As it is, I still like it and those stays -- especially the embroidery -- are gorgeous.

Your sister is awesome trying SO hard to get it but also be honest. And thank you for highlighting the sunk cost issue when it comes to making, because it's so often a thing and so rarely talked about. Mine was a piece of embroidery (that was meant to be part of a much bigger project) that would have been fine if I had not started adding more complication to it. It went wrong in so many ways, but the stand out was the cursed rabbit that was done twice and just got more cursed... Oh - and the "how I would do it" that no one EVER asks for. I think adding in some nicely creepy vines and leaves to give a context that pulled it out of cake territory would be fun, and would add more texture.

I recently did a cosplay for a con this past weekend and ended up having to give up on making the shirt for it due to time constraints and it just not working. I bought a plain t-shirt to wear instead and people still knew who I was cosplaying as so I felt way better about my failure. I still plan on finishing the shirt at some point but I was glad I stopped when I did and went with a backup plan. So I totally understand that sunk cost. I REALLY wanted that shirt to work but if I stayed up all night to finish it while still not liking the way it looked, I would have been so exhausted and frustrated that I don't think I would have had as much fun.

46:14 Lately, I've been thinking a lot about art projects at school that I've invested so much money and time into, yet I still got really bad grades, it just ruined my mood everytime it crosses my mind, it has made me lie awake at night crying multiple times. This part of the video felt so specific and directed right at me, its something that really has been bothering me lately, thank you for saying that. The things youre talking about isn't 100% the same as my situation because I cant just quit, its a school project, but it made me feel more ok about my art projects not always going as well as I wanted them to.

mushroom hats always make me think of Elsa Beskow, who was a children's book illustrator and writer born in the 1800s and passed away in the mid-1900s. She drew and painted a lot of little mushroom-cap-wearing people! I also think the thing with mushrooms as hats is big among fairy/folk tale illustrators, i e Brian Froud.

That triumphant thrusting of kettlecorn in the air. The hat was a bust but the corn was there to console you, kettle corn never disappoints!

".. sometimes you have to take the sunk cost" well put. Thanks for touching on this.

The design of fay/fairies having mushroom hats is older than I am. I remember being a young kid looking at antique fairy art books filled with the exact same concept. So it is really easy for multiple people to come up with the idea of making one by themselves

humm if you maybe add the white gill stuff under the mushroom to the bottom of the hat it will pull up the white from the dress, and have fun and make ruffles or someting to the hat to brake up the "ground" brown of the hat. may add moss ? it be fun to tackle it again with a fresh pair of eye and not "give" up on "failed" projects.

Oh my God I'm excited for TotK cosplay! This is an adorable outfit, and this was a weirdly well timed reminder. Enjoy the game!

I have taken the sunk cost with composite edits and it is SO heartbreaking, and sometimes you just have to walk away for a hot minute before your brain can tackle it again. So I feel this, but that ant is the cutest bean and I love him. O_O

Those contacts are so cool. About the cosplay: worst case scenario, you still made a lovely dress you can definitely wear and style with other things if the hats not agreeing with you.

i think mimicking the vein-like pattern that the zombie on the wall has would be cool!! like have it spread from the centre, or the ant itself you’d have more focused areas of the cordeceps so it looks more purposeful too

30:22 you have no idea how excited I was to see a reference to Dollightful, I was thinking about her doll the whole time you were talking about the mushroom hat! She’s amazing, pls everyone go give her a watch

I remember seeing mushroom hats on deviantart back in the 00s. My obsession with mushrooms hasnt changed much. Also giggled like a child when you said youre like 'the roots of the cordyceps' because they love to grow on insects like catepillars 😂

There was a Swedish illustrator called Elsa Beskow who made tons of fruits, flowers and mushroom people with different types of hats: her books and illustrations are from the 1910-1940s so I'd say the idea goes WAY back, we've probably always just looked at mushrooms and thought they'd be neat to wear hehe

I think this was a fun different take on the mushroom hat (which I am more than exhausted of by now)! Even if it doesn't read as specifically referencing The Last of Us, the yellow outfit worked as a spooky forest creature either using or used by the cordyceps. I especially love the ant, which implies you are tiny.

Oh my gosh that's my ren faire! I cant believe I could have met you, that's so wild! I'm sorry the project didn't turn out how you wanted, but the coffee dye for the stays was BRILLIANT. Hopefully I'll see you at Dragon Con this year!

I think adding hanging roots to the dirt under the hat and maybe some foliage would have been gorgeous
