French Renna
Did I blog about how I met French Jess in Paris during my visit in May? She met us at the hotel and spent the whole day with me, Dani and Cassie. We rode the Bateaux Mouches along the Seine, and visited the Musee D’Orsay. It was a fun day, and she even gave Cassie a fantastic hand-made warded bunny (Le Roi des Lapins):
She and her friend Marilia, the co-creators of my French Web Forum, also attended the party/signing Bragelonne threw for me and the awesome Trudi Canavan:
Well, with still almost a week left to entry the Cosplay Contest, one entry wasn’t enough for French Jess. Oh, non. She followed up her amazing Inevera entry with all the awesome I have come to expect from her.
Hi Peat
As promised, here is my Renna Cosplay for the contest. I’ve wanted to do a Renna Cosplay for a long time, and here it is.
I’m sorry to send so many photos, but it took me so much time to make, that I wanted to have a lot of memories from it, and I like these pictures.
I chose to make Renna waiting for twilight, fully warded.
I made the necklace myself. I warded every beads two time in case they turn so I let you imagine the amount of time it took me. I could’nt afford a knife with a bone part, so I bought a simple knife and modeling porcelain, and I made the handle with it. I warded it with incising wards. I took an old top and cut it to make a proper outfit, and I added eyelets and leather rope. The skirt is a leather barbarian skirt I already had. I cut a wig but it was more difficult than I thougt and didn’t look like I wanted it to but I kind of like it like that.
But what took us a lot of time was to ward myself. I say us because I warded a lot myself in a mirror but I had to ask Jonathan to ward my back, my neck and my right arm! I can tell you we are expert warders now!
I had fear I wouldn’t finish in time so I’m happy I could. I hope you like this cosplay and these pictures, like always it was much fun to enter this contest.

Tres magnifique! And I’m not just saying that because you made my daughter an adorable warded rabbit! 🙂 (Cassie calls him Super Bunny, by the way. Anyone wearing a cape is “super”.)
Thank you! Super Bunny? I thought it was called the Scary Bunny! :-p Next time I’ll do something that look less… crazy!
