As most of you have probably noticed by now, I've returned to DA! I mean, I never really left, but now I switched from posting stuff once or twice a year to being a sort of active member again. Here's a few updates (and also a coupon for my Etsy store).

I've gone from focusing mostly on origami and jewelry to having costuming as my main focus. I still make jewelry, and I never go anywhere without some origami paper, but costuming is really what I spend most time on nowadays. I churn out at least three costumes a year (so far, 2016's costumes have been the red velvet lolita costume and a Mankanshoku Mako cosplay, and I've got three more planned for this summer). I still want to make (and wear!) another costume made from a 'weird' material, kinda like my origami dress, but I haven't settled on a material yet.

In order to make some space in my now ridiculously full closets + workspace, I started selling stuff again. I no longer use the nickname 'oasiaris' for that, though. I switched to using 'The Daydream Duchess' on most social media (pinterest, facebook, instagram, tumblr) and also on Etsy. If you're interested in buying something, please feel free to use this coupon code:
FRIENDSOFFTHEDUCHESS
It gives you 10% off on your order. You can use it as many times as you like!

As far as the rest of my life is concerned: I'm still busy with uni a lot, though I'm now attending grad school. Other than that, not much has changed!

How are you guys doing? Any suggestions for costumes you'd like me to make?

Hey, sorry for not posting anything in the last few months. I've been very busy making a costume for the Elf Fantasy Fair Arcen (so expect pictures of that soon) and I've had little time to work on anything else.
Are any of you going to EFF Arcen? If yes, please let me know in the comments, maybe we could meet up! My friend will wear the summer costume so we should be fairly easy to recognize.

From now to thursday, october 17th (midnight CEST) there's a 15% discount on DaWanda for any customer who has never purchased anything from my DaWanda store (that's all of you!).
This sale is organized by DaWanda, so more stores will be participating.

So I opened that DaWanda store I was talking about. Why is it so great for Europeans? Well, the prices are in euros, there's a special shipping rate for Europe (making it slightly cheaper) and you can pay by bank transfer (although that might also be useful for others). It's still a little empty, but I'm working on that!
