remember, she has years of experience! lots and lots of practice, trial, error, tears, and video tutorials plus ripping the bandaid and just going for the projects you’re not sure you can do, and you’ll be able to do incredible wigs too! i believe in you :)
honestly i think the biggest thing for me with these crazy builds you do is the amount of innovation! you pull from so many sources for ideas and inspiration as well as creating these insane prototypes and armatures and it’s so inspiring, i have a really hard time problem solving on my own for costumes but it really lights a fire in me to see you not back down from any challenge and genuinely just INVENTING something when you have no choice, literally just paving a path forward. you’re amazing sarah
Hi, theater person here. We use 3m clear tape to tape microphones to our faces, which as you can guess, doing this multiple nights in a row while hot and sweaty builds up a residue. The solution to this is some kind of oil, some people like baby oil, some like olive, paper towels, and baby wipes. Get the residue slippery, wipe it off, and use baby wipes to clean everything up after. Hope this helps!!
holy crap, in retrospect it makes so much sense to give miku's pigtails BONES since that's how her model is rigged??? this came out fantastic, well done and thanks for putting your process online in such detail, that's how we all learn! :D
when she said how the hell do you pattern that? me as a furry, "its not that hard..? 🤔" and then she came at me with the " do as the furries do" i actually laughed so hard 😂💀
Your idea for using elmers glue in the bangs to keep the sections separated is going to change my life, I can *feel* it. Im so excited to revamp my Miku wig in 2024
The engineering and time and effort that went into this wig is truly amazing, I love the extzra sporkle added to this already insanely extra wig! One weft tip for anyone reading: I use a plastic card (like a credit card type of platic card ) to spread the top layer of glue on my wefts and to saturate the hair with it, it helps me spread the glue thin and create flat and neat weft ends and is a lot easier to control for me than a brush!
20:49 - "How you gonna keep that on your head?" - this segment was so ingenious and inspiring! The custom plastic headband with holes, + a fabric cover with grommets, plus magnets and velcro and a non-woven wig cap. Brilliant.
god bless sarah and her miku wig videos, im making 2024 snow miku for a con next year and was actually losing my mind trying to conceptualize how im going to tackle the wig 😭🙏
Over here crying on a Saturday afternoon. You're so damn inspiring. Am I ever going to make a wig this complicated? Hell no, but how you go about solving your construction problems is so inspiring. I hope HolMat is wonderful for you this year.
When you said if you stick to what you know you’ll never know what you can do with your own hands really stuck- I’m currently procrastinating a cosplay because it has so much new elements that I’ve never attempted(and that customs is holding some of my fabric hostage) and hearing that really gave me motivation because it’s so true
What a huge project, the wig process is always fun to watch when you make it! But seriously it turned out great! Just like the strawberry miku wig, this one turned out just as good. Well done Sarah!! Goodluck with the rest of the cosplay, exited for the prop video 💙🩵🤍🩷💜
I knew you were crazy when I saw the prototype head contraption, but I realized that you were full blown psycho when I saw the metal bolts and armature wire you added later on to the inside of the pigtails. I mean this all in a loving way because my god are you psycho for creating this beast of a wig. Hope you get all the awards that you rightfully deserve for making this thing!
I've left a comment before, but i wanted to tell you again about how your videos inspire people to create, for me, I draw a lot, cosplay seems very different for me and a bit out of my comfort zone, but your videos have interested me in this form of art a lot more! thank you for sharing the things you do, your love for creating resonates with me and a bunch of people, again, thank you! 🍓 you're amazing
I know man I wanna cry this girl is so inspiring it’s insane. She has no idea how many people she’s probably affected to create and that is fucking beautiful.
Idk if the skills are transferrable but if you watch some doll customizers you can see how they make a part look natural with glue wefts! (Not to say yours doesn’t look natural it looks amazing and the shading really brings it next level!) they typically glue the weft flat on the wrong side then flip it over to the correct side and heat set it down (Dollightful, Hextian, Moonlight Jewel, Enchantarium are all channels I suggest if you’d like to actually see the method in action!) This wig is a masterpiece in itself! Couple that with the dress and you should be so proud of the incredible work of art you’ve created!!
Holy Cow, This is amazing. Someone from my cosplay group send me this tutorial, because I was looking for a way to attach deer antlers to a cloak. And now I am sitting here in awe, watching someone create an industrial strengh miku wig. You are awsome keep up the good work ❤
god, the end of your big project videos never fail to make me emotional. watching your videos gives me so much more motivation to work on big cosplay projects again, a drive i completely lost in 2020. if it weren't for your strawberry miku i never would have compete in my first cosplay contest without my not great ex AND WON MY DIVISION. hell, one of my dream cosplays for so long has been 2019 snow miku but i always thought she was just too hard for me to do but your videos always give me the motivation to try. keep doing what you do sarah, your cosplays are absolutely amazing and your videos mean more to some than you might realize. 💕
The range of techniques and skills that go into cosplay always blow me away... These videos inspire me a lot to. I don't make my own cosplay but im hoping to make a miku cotton doll soon , these videos help a lot !!
This is ASTOUNDING! I hope you’re super proud of it, because you have every right to be! Also, shout-out to your editing throughout, but the triumphant twirling edit set to classical music at the end took me out, omg. 😂
With every new video, I’m more and more inspired to be as detailed and dedicated as Sarah. She is absolutely amazing at her craft and I hope she is proud of every piece she creates. Absolutely crazy talented
I showed my sewing mom your strawberry miku videos and she thought you were extremely talented~ and then this video came out shortly after which further proves just how skilled and amazing you are
50:08 was SUCH a magical moment for me. i knew it was going to be beautiful in the end because youre so motivated and skilled, but it's still a 'trust the process' kind of wig! and after seeing it as a WIP covered in tacky glue, then suddenly seeing THAT- I literally said "oh, thats *magical*" to myself. what a gorgeous piece of art you've made here, sarah
Watching all of the problem solving that goes into something like this is so inspiring! Your videos always help motivate me to keep trying to get over my cosplay roadblocks. I can't thank you enough - I seriously think you're one of the main reasons I've stuck with this hobby, and I'm so grateful because I'm so proud of the things I've made! I even won an award at a cosplay contest (??!?) using beading techniques I learned from you! Being a maker the best feeling ever, and I have you to thank for some of that 🥰
HOLY CRAP! This is literally insane and so amazingly creative and innovative! I can barely style my own wigs and your over here creating giant, moving pigtails for a cosplay and pouring hundreds of hours into one singular part of a cosplay. I can only hope to one day be anywhere near as amazing of a cosplayer as you are! Absolutly keep doing what you are doing and inspiring people like me!
EBD in the background made me so happy! I also love to watch Emily while crafting. You never cease to amaze me with your cosplay! You are so inspiring!
This is incredible!!!! Your videos always make me tear up a little bit because you make such beautiful pieces, and coming along for the journey and all the highs and lows is super inspiring to me ❤ I’ve been in a craft rut for several years at this point and these videos always psyche me up to use my hands and bring something into the world
Holy molyyy this whole journey I was following every step that u did and it never got boring watching you making this masterpiece of a cosplay I am soo sooooo proud of you for not giving up on it this really payed off and you can be freaking proud of yourself 🖤🙏🏻💯
every time I see a new video from you, I'm always scared to click on it. I'm scared, because I'm always so shocked after. I'm shocked AND inspired af. I'm like "well, i will do it now!" I'm scared of this energy and courage that goes through my mind and body. I just always feel like sewing and creating after your videos. Thank you for sharing your story. Please continue. Thank you.
Yay! Time to watch the snow miku videos on loop as I do my sewing! It looks amazing Sarah! You are truly dedicated. This is probably my favorite project that you’ve done, because I’ve been obsessed with this miku ever since Snow Mix came out as well.
that wig is a monster, and I love her so much. What a ride. Also I think that even if the Tulle was noticeable, its fricken SNOW MIKU! A white diffused haze over her hair is just another layer of frosty perfection imo.
You have to appreciate just how much engineering, skill and artistry that goes into this, but also, when you had the pigtail sock on the wooden structure on the wig head, it also looked a bit like a SAW trap. 🤣🤣
i use a Delialah for my undertaker from Black Butler. It has been sitting on my wig head since April 2022, waiting to be brushed out after my last wear at Cyphacon in Lake Charles, LA.
You have officially become my go-to comfort channel. I discovered you only days ago, but your positivity, cleverness, and spirit have been just...so healing. Looking forward to being a new life-long fan, and I hope to run into you at a con someday! Thank you for the wholesome content!
as soon as you said installing a zipper my immediate thought was 'secret wig snacks' but i don't think that wig needs to be any heavier 😅 . Crimping gives the wig the smooth almost dreamlike vibe that suits this miku so well
I know your first look in the mirror didn't give you that "!!!!" reaction but as a viewer for both the only-cosplay and wig + cosplay reveal I GASPED. I'm very new to cosplay and wigs are an area I've yet to dip into because they're intimidating and also my scalp is very sensitive to both touch and heat lol, but this was so inspiring (won't be doing anything near this complex for a long time of course but knowing what can be done makes the engineer in me wake up ahahaha). Absolutely gorgeous wig and incredibly impressive build!!!
In future for wooden parts I think you could actually use pvc pipes and then be able to bend parts into shape instead of miter corners, then you’ll be able to use pipe joints that can be taken apart for easy storage and not need as many heavy bolts to hold things together? Could even use fibreglass rods for part of it for extra sturdiness while keeping it super light
For the pigtail parting on future projects what if you ripped the seam between the bones, shoved the glued wefts through the hole, sewed them in from the inside of the cap, whip stitch the two sides of the hole back together, and then heat styled them flat on the outside? That would leave no visible seam or glue at the part. I learned to do it that way from doll customizers who just cut the seam straight into the vinyl doll head.
I can't wait to see the cosplay and than the dance! Even with your previous Miku cosplay I cried, and I felt it tearing me up again. Your work makes me so happy and seeing your journey making and all the trials during it makes it so meaningful. Please keep up the good work and thank you for all of your hard work.
52:48 this is so real!!! The last cosplay I did I kept reminding myself of this. I did a character from an old, pretty niche video game, so I knew people wouldn’t even remember all the small details missing, and just be excited to see a cosplay of those characters because from what I could tell they had never been done before!! That did stress me out being the first one because my craftsmanship is… not great, and I didn’t want to set the bar so low… but I was setting the bar at all, and I think that’s pretty cool. I needed to remind myself that people won’t notice all the missing details they just see “OMG IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO THIS CHARACTER!!” (That’s kinda all my cosplays tbh lol. The niche was “no one’s cosplayed this” makes up for my lack of craftsmanship.)
I would say that the tulle gives it even more of a whimsical feeling! It sorts of blurs it all and softens it which matches the cosplay really gorgeously but I bet it would work great for any other character as well! I am so mesmerized by your work and I really love the way you film while doing everything I felt it was super educational as well as immersive and I learned a lot this way. Thanks for making this kind of videos!
Before I go and watch this movie length video, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING TODAY!! I was having a very bad day. I just moved into my new apartment in a new state and city last night and found out the place is roach infested 😭 I tried to back out of the contract and even ask for a different studio and just told me that they will fix it today and continue treatment while I still live in it 😭 I haven’t started my new job yet, so I’m so broke. And the wanted me to leave the place for a couple hours to treat for pest and had me take my cat with me. Your videos give me such happiness and joy and relaxation. The fact that it’s an hour long makes it better so I can take the time to actually relax. Love you girl!! Ima watch now 😊
Nothing quite like the mad cackle of a crafter that has realized they can machine sew through something they didn't know if they were gonna be able to machine sew through
This wig is gorgeous and insane. Also just fyi: all rit dye is non-toxic. I wouldnt recommend using your dye pot for food, but rit dyemore is one of the few polyester dyes that is nontoxic. So you dont have to be super paranoid about it because it isnt poison
I fall into watching these when I am doing other things, like cooking dinner, but they always draw me in because it is a whole JOURNEY and when you first put everything together to try on, just tears welling up unstoppably. You make amazing things, and this was so beautiful❤
[comment being written while watching, so it's gonna be LONG] I've paused and read what your older brother wrote. My heart just melted. So cute and mindful ^^ You really are a pigtail scientist, Sarah. Holy fuck the amount of calculations and material knowledge is absurd. YOOOO YOU DID THE BALOON THINGY!!!! I've thought about this at your Strawberry Miku vid, but seemed too easy to pop. See, it popped. Dang it... THE SWIRLS!!!!! IT'S SO EXTREMELY CUTE!!!!!!! I wanna kindly pet them curls oooooooh so cute and now i'm in the end of the vid, this wig has *moves*! You look so tiny with it, it's HUGE and GORGEOUS Congratulations
Usually when I need to dye a bunch of fiber (or apply conditioner, soap, etc.) in specific place & controlled application- using a 200 ml syringe with a very big needle (in big gauges they tend to be blunt, so not really a needle-needle tho you can file any sharp edges off if there are any) REALLY HELPS. Plus those tips tend to be long or can purchase long ones & they make it very easy to poke it into specific places & put product where you want. LoL I love using 200 ml syringes when I’m dyeing a variegated colorway onto yarn.
I've been binging these videos while crunching for a mobile game skin design contest and honestly as a cosplayer at the sort of normie level (who's been dormant for a while for health reasons) and who can sew but not very much or very well cause it stresses me out (ill have to get over that sometime and your videos are great inspiration fuel!) the crazy crafting you can get up to and the wig styling in this video are just genuinely insane. Ive been looking up from my tablet every so often when i see stuff like the balloon or the bolted wood or any number of insane things you baked into this project and it blows my mind. Its also reminded me, as someone who pretty consistently enters the snow miku contest and dreams of winning, to prepare extra detailed ref sheets next time 😭 god forbid i end up winning at some point and make any cosplayers jobs more difficult anyways this was excellent stuff, like genuine wizardry, and its a whirlwind to watch while still being super funny and great binging material. as someone who's itching to get back into cosplay sooner rather than later but also dreams of someone cosplaying my designs one day this channel is peak design/drawing background material!!!
Hey Sarah, just a tip from the hair world, I don’t know if you’ve looked into but, for your wigs you might be able to purchase loose kanekalon hair it’s the same fiber as your wigs without the wig structure. It’s normally used in braid extensions 🤗

why your videos always give me so much feels, they get me all teary xD
@@Maaya1717that's what happens to me when I watch clawed_beuty101
59:47 I love how she was breaking the whole house with the pigtails but the cat was just sleeping like it was nothing, just normal stuff.
I can barely style a normal wig and shes out here doing THIS thats amazing.
real
remember, she has years of experience! lots and lots of practice, trial, error, tears, and video tutorials plus ripping the bandaid and just going for the projects you’re not sure you can do, and you’ll be able to do incredible wigs too! i believe in you :)
❤ @@sprout_senior
I can't even style my own damn hair and you styled a 4 FOOT LONG DANCING WIG. You never cease to amaze!
honestly i think the biggest thing for me with these crazy builds you do is the amount of innovation! you pull from so many sources for ideas and inspiration as well as creating these insane prototypes and armatures and it’s so inspiring, i have a really hard time problem solving on my own for costumes but it really lights a fire in me to see you not back down from any challenge and genuinely just INVENTING something when you have no choice, literally just paving a path forward. you’re amazing sarah
Hi, theater person here. We use 3m clear tape to tape microphones to our faces, which as you can guess, doing this multiple nights in a row while hot and sweaty builds up a residue. The solution to this is some kind of oil, some people like baby oil, some like olive, paper towels, and baby wipes. Get the residue slippery, wipe it off, and use baby wipes to clean everything up after.
Hope this helps!!
holy crap, in retrospect it makes so much sense to give miku's pigtails BONES since that's how her model is rigged??? this came out fantastic, well done and thanks for putting your process online in such detail, that's how we all learn! :D
when she said how the hell do you pattern that? me as a furry, "its not that hard..? 🤔" and then she came at me with the " do as the furries do" i actually laughed so hard 😂💀
Lmfao
SAME LOL
3:13 that prototype looks like something you could get spring locked in
I love how we get the full range of sarah’s laughs in this vid, we get witch of the wood, we get cosplay goblin we get adorable giggle- all of em
I never styled a wig and I think it's amazing how you can do all of this Sarah!!
Mad respect and dedication
This is like Hoover Dam levels of engineering.
I just got reminded of the pjo fandom@@KushKiki
Your idea for using elmers glue in the bangs to keep the sections separated is going to change my life, I can *feel* it. Im so excited to revamp my Miku wig in 2024
HOW IS UR NECK STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD UP THESE MASSIVE WIGS GIRL😭
The engineering and time and effort that went into this wig is truly amazing, I love the extzra sporkle added to this already insanely extra wig!
One weft tip for anyone reading: I use a plastic card (like a credit card type of platic card ) to spread the top layer of glue on my wefts and to saturate the hair with it, it helps me spread the glue thin and create flat and neat weft ends and is a lot easier to control for me than a brush!
20:49 - "How you gonna keep that on your head?" - this segment was so ingenious and inspiring! The custom plastic headband with holes, + a fabric cover with grommets, plus magnets and velcro and a non-woven wig cap. Brilliant.
I'm not a cosplayer but I enjoy watching people make their costumes. Seeing how much effort you put into your cosplays is amazing. :)
god bless sarah and her miku wig videos, im making 2024 snow miku for a con next year and was actually losing my mind trying to conceptualize how im going to tackle the wig 😭🙏
Over here crying on a Saturday afternoon. You're so damn inspiring. Am I ever going to make a wig this complicated? Hell no, but how you go about solving your construction problems is so inspiring. I hope HolMat is wonderful for you this year.
When you said if you stick to what you know you’ll never know what you can do with your own hands really stuck- I’m currently procrastinating a cosplay because it has so much new elements that I’ve never attempted(and that customs is holding some of my fabric hostage) and hearing that really gave me motivation because it’s so true

As a furry, I’m proud of our ridiculous techniques for making stuff
This wig is huge,the fact that it can dance as well is insane
Girl , if the talent was a person of bone and blood ,you are the representation of talent , the wig are a dream come true
I knew you were crazy when I saw the prototype head contraption, but I realized that you were full blown psycho when I saw the metal bolts and armature wire you added later on to the inside of the pigtails. I mean this all in a loving way because my god are you psycho for creating this beast of a wig. Hope you get all the awards that you rightfully deserve for making this thing!
that transpore tape is also what professional theatre performers use to keep their mics on their faces! amazing video ❤

I know man I wanna cry this girl is so inspiring it’s insane. She has no idea how many people she’s probably affected to create and that is fucking beautiful.
Do that and clip that you edited with the Victorious ass music I am literally crying my eyes out right now💀💀💀💀
These pigtails are lovely. The swirls of shape and color remind me of ice cream.
The fact I cry at least once per miku video you do. Absolutely amazing dude and thank you for inspiring us to create the cosplays we find impossible
Idk if the skills are transferrable but if you watch some doll customizers you can see how they make a part look natural with glue wefts!

This is amazing. Someone from my cosplay group send me this tutorial, because I was looking for a way to attach deer antlers to a cloak.
And now I am sitting here in awe, watching someone create an industrial strengh miku wig.
You are awsome keep up the good work ❤
god, the end of your big project videos never fail to make me emotional. watching your videos gives me so much more motivation to work on big cosplay projects again, a drive i completely lost in 2020. if it weren't for your strawberry miku i never would have compete in my first cosplay contest without my not great ex AND WON MY DIVISION. hell, one of my dream cosplays for so long has been 2019 snow miku but i always thought she was just too hard for me to do but your videos always give me the motivation to try. keep doing what you do sarah, your cosplays are absolutely amazing and your videos mean more to some than you might realize. 💕

For gluing the hair part you can finish buy diluting glue in water and spraying it over. Ive seen this use to hold grass on dioramas and dnd maps.
EBD in the background made me so happy! I also love to watch Emily while crafting. You never cease to amaze me with your cosplay! You are so inspiring!
i cant imagine how you can handle having that on your head while dancing oml
Loved the Kid Icarus reference!! It's absolutely beautiful how well thought out your cosplays are. I aspire to be that detailed in mine as well!
sarah will see an impossible miku hair and think oh i know what ill spend my next months on
This is incredible!!!! Your videos always make me tear up a little bit because you make such beautiful pieces, and coming along for the journey and all the highs and lows is super inspiring to me ❤ I’ve been in a craft rut for several years at this point and these videos always psyche me up to use my hands and bring something into the world
YAAY, MUSIC FROM END IS BACK 😭😭😭 I'm so happy, hearing it in endings makes my life easier
Holy molyyy this whole journey I was following every step that u did and it never got boring watching you making this masterpiece of a cosplay I am soo sooooo proud of you for not giving up on it this really payed off and you can be freaking proud of yourself 🖤🙏🏻💯
love every time you show you making process it really just shows how much you put in to these cosplays
every time I see a new video from you, I'm always scared to click on it. I'm scared, because I'm always so shocked after. I'm shocked AND inspired af. I'm like "well, i will do it now!" I'm scared of this energy and courage that goes through my mind and body. I just always feel like sewing and creating after your videos. Thank you for sharing your story. Please continue. Thank you.
Yay! Time to watch the snow miku videos on loop as I do my sewing!
It looks amazing Sarah! You are truly dedicated. This is probably my favorite project that you’ve done, because I’ve been obsessed with this miku ever since Snow Mix came out as well.
This so awesome and very multi media in ONE PROJECT!

DISCORD NOTIFICATIONS BLESSED US ONCE AGAIN TO SEE THIS BEAUTY
THE WIG LOOKS SO GOOD AHHH 🫶🫶
I'm so freaking stoked! The wiiiiiiig!
You have officially become my go-to comfort channel. I discovered you only days ago, but your positivity, cleverness, and spirit have been just...so healing. Looking forward to being a new life-long fan, and I hope to run into you at a con someday! Thank you for the wholesome content!
Looks to me like you're headed toward another award for a Miku cosplay. Incredible job on both the wig and the outfit!
That looks amazing!!! The amount of work you put into these cosplays is incredible
as soon as you said installing a zipper my immediate thought was 'secret wig snacks' but i don't think that wig needs to be any heavier 😅 . Crimping gives the wig the smooth almost dreamlike vibe that suits this miku so well
I think she’s the most competent person alive. Got real “oh she’d totally win Survivor” energy.
ITS SO COLORFUL
I know your first look in the mirror didn't give you that "!!!!" reaction but as a viewer for both the only-cosplay and wig + cosplay reveal I GASPED. I'm very new to cosplay and wigs are an area I've yet to dip into because they're intimidating and also my scalp is very sensitive to both touch and heat lol, but this was so inspiring (won't be doing anything near this complex for a long time of course but knowing what can be done makes the engineer in me wake up ahahaha). Absolutely gorgeous wig and incredibly impressive build!!!
It's really cool how you look for other créative ideas when You're stuck! I would have Never guessed that traditional japanese wigcap could help !
CANT BELIEVE I GET TO PERFORM AT IDOL FEST WITH SNOW MIKU SARAH ♡ Excited to see you and the cosplay in person!
In future for wooden parts I think you could actually use pvc pipes and then be able to bend parts into shape instead of miter corners, then you’ll be able to use pipe joints that can be taken apart for easy storage and not need as many heavy bolts to hold things together? Could even use fibreglass rods for part of it for extra sturdiness while keeping it super light
For the pigtail parting on future projects what if you ripped the seam between the bones, shoved the glued wefts through the hole, sewed them in from the inside of the cap, whip stitch the two sides of the hole back together, and then heat styled them flat on the outside? That would leave no visible seam or glue at the part. I learned to do it that way from doll customizers who just cut the seam straight into the vinyl doll head.
SARAH OMG so excited to watch how you tackled this wig! I absolutely love your work
I WAS LEGIT GIGGLING IN JOY WHEN U COULD DANCE IN THE WIG JRHSWHEGDGDG!!!! AMAZING JOBBBBBB
A Wish for Wings That Work was my favorite Christmas movie as a 5 year old. My parents were so confused.
Wanted to nod to the opus reference also. One of my favorite penguins.
Sorry I called you "the Miku Girl" at Dreamhack, but it was super nice to see you!!! 🥰
Don’t be sorry haha! I thought that was hilarious!
I can't wait to see the cosplay and than the dance! Even with your previous Miku cosplay I cried, and I felt it tearing me up again. Your work makes me so happy and seeing your journey making and all the trials during it makes it so meaningful. Please keep up the good work and thank you for all of your hard work.

I needed to remind myself that people won’t notice all the missing details they just see “OMG IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO THIS CHARACTER!!” (That’s kinda all my cosplays tbh lol. The niche was “no one’s cosplayed this” makes up for my lack of craftsmanship.)
I would say that the tulle gives it even more of a whimsical feeling! It sorts of blurs it all and softens it which matches the cosplay really gorgeously but I bet it would work great for any other character as well! I am so mesmerized by your work and I really love the way you film while doing everything I felt it was super educational as well as immersive and I learned a lot this way. Thanks for making this kind of videos!
Before I go and watch this movie length video, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING TODAY!!
I was having a very bad day. I just moved into my new apartment in a new state and city last night and found out the place is roach infested 😭
I tried to back out of the contract and even ask for a different studio and just told me that they will fix it today and continue treatment while I still live in it 😭
I haven’t started my new job yet, so I’m so broke. And the wanted me to leave the place for a couple hours to treat for pest and had me take my cat with me.
Your videos give me such happiness and joy and relaxation. The fact that it’s an hour long makes it better so I can take the time to actually relax. Love you girl!! Ima watch now 😊
Your actual hair in this is incredible. God those colors are so freaking beautiful.
Nothing quite like the mad cackle of a crafter that has realized they can machine sew through something they didn't know if they were gonna be able to machine sew through
Discord has come through for us! I'm super excited to watch while i work on my cosplay!
YES LONG VIDEO FROM SARAH!! LOVE YOU!!! ❤️❤️
i adore the way the swirls look and the little shiny sparkly bits are soooooo cute!!!!! looks so yummy
This wig is gorgeous and insane.
Also just fyi: all rit dye is non-toxic. I wouldnt recommend using your dye pot for food, but rit dyemore is one of the few polyester dyes that is nontoxic. So you dont have to be super paranoid about it because it isnt poison
I fall into watching these when I am doing other things, like cooking dinner, but they always draw me in because it is a whole JOURNEY and when you first put everything together to try on, just tears welling up unstoppably. You make amazing things, and this was so beautiful❤
I was blessed to see this performance live. You KILLED it!
Aw man, that must have been wicked!
Every video feels like such a nice documentary and has so much love and care put into it, your a inspiration
1. the wig is STUNNING 2. YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB!!! wow !! blown away and inspired!
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS HAS MADE ME CRY FROM HAPPINESS
[comment being written while watching, so it's gonna be LONG]
I've paused and read what your older brother wrote. My heart just melted. So cute and mindful ^^
You really are a pigtail scientist, Sarah. Holy fuck the amount of calculations and material knowledge is absurd.
YOOOO YOU DID THE BALOON THINGY!!!! I've thought about this at your Strawberry Miku vid, but seemed too easy to pop.
See, it popped. Dang it...
THE SWIRLS!!!!! IT'S SO EXTREMELY CUTE!!!!!!! I wanna kindly pet them curls oooooooh so cute
and now i'm in the end of the vid, this wig has *moves*! You look so tiny with it, it's HUGE and GORGEOUS
Congratulations
The way you did this is just so insanely smart. The swirly pigtail pattern blew my mind. 🤯😍
Usually when I need to dye a bunch of fiber (or apply conditioner, soap, etc.) in specific place & controlled application- using a 200 ml syringe with a very big needle (in big gauges they tend to be blunt, so not really a needle-needle tho you can file any sharp edges off if there are any) REALLY HELPS. Plus those tips tend to be long or can purchase long ones & they make it very easy to poke it into specific places & put product where you want. LoL I love using 200 ml syringes when I’m dyeing a variegated colorway onto yarn.
The wig turned out SO PERFECT!! I can't wait to see you dance in it
41:10 i GASPED when she brought out the first wig wing. SO PRETTY!!!!!
I've been binging these videos while crunching for a mobile game skin design contest and honestly as a cosplayer at the sort of normie level (who's been dormant for a while for health reasons) and who can sew but not very much or very well cause it stresses me out (ill have to get over that sometime and your videos are great inspiration fuel!) the crazy crafting you can get up to and the wig styling in this video are just genuinely insane. Ive been looking up from my tablet every so often when i see stuff like the balloon or the bolted wood or any number of insane things you baked into this project and it blows my mind. Its also reminded me, as someone who pretty consistently enters the snow miku contest and dreams of winning, to prepare extra detailed ref sheets next time 😭 god forbid i end up winning at some point and make any cosplayers jobs more difficult
anyways this was excellent stuff, like genuine wizardry, and its a whirlwind to watch while still being super funny and great binging material. as someone who's itching to get back into cosplay sooner rather than later but also dreams of someone cosplaying my designs one day this channel is peak design/drawing background material!!!
Holy SHIT this is magical. The subtle sparkle with the holo thread is just the perfect touch.
Hey Sarah, just a tip from the hair world, I don’t know if you’ve looked into but, for your wigs you might be able to purchase loose kanekalon hair it’s the same fiber as your wigs without the wig structure. It’s normally used in braid extensions 🤗
I LOVE the front part for some reason. It really eats your face up the way a snowy cosplay should ❤❤
Good lord that was a crazy build, CONGRATULATIONS on successfully finishing it! It looks amazing and I hope you win everything you enter it in!
I absolutely adore your cosplays and the effort you're giving to make it is unbelievable, thanks for your videos
This is so well done it almost looks easy. God speed to any wig maker out there
The wig was a heck of a journey and turned out gorgeous. The whole outfit and wig together look amazing 😍
