Cosplays spotted at Sheffield Film and Comic con August 2016

Hello everyone,
This post is coming up a bit late since I look so many photos at the convention it took a very long time to pick the very best ones. (trust me there were so many talented cosplayers I'm so sorry I have to cut this down to one post)

As for the convention itself it took place in the spacious Motorpoint arena which was filled to the brim with things to do, things to see and as always geeky things to buy. There were also a variety of talks, celebrity guests, board and video games to play.

Heres a little sneak peek of just how much filled the arena and just how many people came to have a great time on the day.

For more information on this years event here is the Facebook events page:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1532394603750892/

Lets take a look at some of the amazing cosplayers I found at the event:

Business Cat

This is a wonderfully clever cosplay of Business Cat, as you may guess from the name is a cat who runs a buisiness in an adorably funny way. This cosplay comes complete with milk in a sophisticated glass and a briefcase (which is presumably full of wool and treats.)

I'd like to raise a round of applause to this cosplayer for making the mask and of course for being able to wear it for so long considering how hot a convention can get even when not in costume.

If you'd like to find out more about Business Cat he is the star of a comic found here:
http://www.businesscat.happyjar.com/

The Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland

This is an amazing cosplay, this cosplayer even took the trouble of exactly copying the make up and eyebrows for the mad hatter which must have taken ages to do.
If you take a close look this cosplayer has also included the row of threads that the mad hatter wears. I do wonder if this could also double as a holder for someone coming to the convention as a cosplay repair station?
Anyway this cosplay is just spot on and full of loads of detail. Well done!

Agents of Shield cosplay

Sheffield was almost in severe danger when Loki escaped into the arena! With Thor, Captain America and the other avengers busy buying comics and posing for photos it was up to the Agents of Shield to save the day and put Loki back into containment!
Luckily the day was saved and as always the Agents just took it as another day on the job while Loki redoubled his plans for revenge and to get the ultimate source of power. Who would have thought they would have hidden it right in the middle of a comic convention?

All joking aside this is a fabulous cosplay group, each one kitted out perfectly. I did spot one little boy hiding behind his father so Loki didn't spot him. Well done to all three of you for this amazing cosplay and an amazing well practice pose for photos!

Pokémon cosplay - Butterfree, Syther and Zubat

This trio of Cosplayers certainly drew a crowd when they walked into the Arena. The lovely Syther mentioned that their hat had already been knocked off by someone throwing a surprisingly accurate plushie Pokeball. There were a few people trying to take pictures of the cosplayers through the Augmented Reality function on Pokémon Go.

These beautiful gijinka costumes are colourful and fun. I love the way that each cosplayer chose the most important elements of each Pokémon so we know who they are meant to be. The wings on each one are especially awesome and Sythers claws being hold able items are a nice touch (since I imagine if they were firmly attached they could well get in the way)

Once upon a time - Regina

This wonderful cosplayer rocked the stage at the cosplay competition. (and scooped a well deserved top prize in the contest) not only is this villians costume amazingly detailed down to the beads and sequins this cosplayer really knew how to show off the Villian look. I had to resist the urge to hide after taking this photo as she did appear to be getting ready a particularly evil spell! However that is all part of the fun of the Cosplay contest to pretend to be your favourite character for a little while.

I wonder how long all those beads and sequins took to sew on to the outfit? By the sheer number on the bodice alone this must have been many nights worth of work and don't forget everyone that there are even more on the sleeves to be sewn on. Well done to this cosplayer for this amazing achievement! I hope you can use it for a few more conventions to come to really show off your skills.

Aurora from Disneys Sleeping Beauty

This cosplayer was so dedicated to her Sleeping Beauty cosplay that she took a little nap on the cosplay stage. Either that or making all the details on this costume just took it out of her since it is very accurate even down to all the shades of pink used in the costume.

I'll say well done to this Cosplayer for all of her hard work once she wakes up.

 

Jawa from Star wars

I spotted this cheeky little Jawa at the cosplay contest. I love all the little details on this cosplay and lets not forget the fact thet the leather areas are a little worn rather than brand new. That's a excellent touch since I don't think the Jawas would often be popping to their local clothes shop to buy themselves a new ammo holster.

On a side note this Jawa decided it would be a good idea to make off with some of the tech from the backstage team at the contest and almost took off with a microphone but luckily the team sprang into action and retrieved it.

Captain Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Caribbean

This cosplayer has done a wonderful job of  replicating the ever popular Captain Jack Sparrow, down the details, beard decorations and even copying the famous slightly wobbly walk that our lovable Captain always displays.

Take a moment to look at the way this cosplayer even has the Captains famous dreadlocks (I honestly wasn't sure if this was a wig or real hair) and even his collection of shiny rings because what pirate would turn down such a handsome treasure? The coat is an excellent feature in this cosplay, sometimes when a character has an element which seems plain such as the plain brown of this coat it is even more important to ensure that any details that do exist are correct as these will draw the eye. Indeed this coat does have those little touches from the cut of the sleeves to just the right type of brass buttons. Well done to you Captain Jack Cosplayer for your hard work is making the costume and emulating the character. :)

Red Guy from Don't Hug me I'm Scared

This is a brilliant version of the Red Guy outfit from Don't Hug me I'm scared. Don't worry its not a typo this character doesn't have an official name so fans have given him the name Red Guy. He is a person in a full body costume who stars in a childrens TV series which has a tendency to go wrong (or creepy)

This cosplay must be very hot since the wig is made mostly out of red wool and covers the whole head. also it looks like each strand of wool has been added to the hat individually making this actually a while lot more work than it appears to be on the surface. Well done to this cosplayer for having the patience to make this costume and the fortitude to wear it all day. I hope you had loads of fun at the convention (what you were able to see through the wool anyway)

If you are intrigued by Don't Hug me Im scared its all hosted on this Youtube channel;
https://www.youtube.com/user/thisisitcollective

Be warned however though it looks at first to be a childrens program this short film is not suitable for young children. It scared me in a few places I must admit.

Shaun from Shaun of the Dead

This is a cosplay I have seen a few times but I love the brilliant job this cosplayer has done on it. It looks like Shaun has already been attacked by Zombies and come out a little worse for wear in this picture. Theres one question we need to ask! Did he make it to the Winchester or is Sheffield Film and Comic con on the way? Whatever the case he looks like hes ready to fight zombies with his signature cricket bat, grab a pint and wait for it all to blow over.

There are so many more cosplays I would have included but unfortunately this post is getting very, very long. So I'll have to leave it here. I'll plan to head back to this convention if I can next year as I can only expect it to get bigger and better.

I hope you all enjoyed these cosplays as much as I did

Much love and Happy stitching
Gemma

Cosplays spotted at Newark comic convention 2016

Cosplays spotted at Newark comic convention 2016

Hello everyone,

On 7th August, there was a wonderful convention at the Newark showground. With this convention being the first I was not expecting very much at all to be honest but I was honestly surprised and delighted by the event.

If you are interested in next years event there is already a Facebook page which will be updated as it comes up to the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1482577691768377/

But without further ado let me tell you about this years event and some of the fabulous cosplays I found there.

As expected at a comic convention there were loads of comics to buy. There was a selection of comics to buy, from new to old from rare to cheaper ones for starters. It was a blast looking for my favorite characters. (I admit I spent too long looking for Deadpool comics)

There was also a large selection of geeky merchandise. I managed to bag myself a few special dice for my next Dungeons and Dragons game. I was tempted by all these lovely Star wars goodies though.

There were also celebrity guests, replicas of cars from various TV shows and films and several displays.

This is a beautiful duo of Anna from Frozen and Maleficent, both cosplays are amazing.
Though it makes me wonder what would have happened in the Maleficent film if she had a sister like Anna. how differently the film would have turned out... fanfiction anyone?

It was a very hot and sunny day so the convention hall was rather warm particularly with the crowd which had gathered. So well done to these cosplayers for standing the heat wearing long dresses and cloaks and still managing to look stunning.

 

This is a wonderful duo of Cosmo and Wanda from Fairly Odd Parents. I love the detail of the tiny wings and lets not forget the floaty crowny things which are held up almost invisibly. These cosplayers were so amazing I was worried they would Poof me out of the Showground!

 Boba Fett from Star Wars. This cosplay is wonderful each detail, even the weathering on the costume is just right. I hoped this cosplayer would not vaporize me with his gun.

This is a troupe of Star Wars cosplayers from the Sentinal Squad posing with a young Star Wars fan.

 

The Sentinel Squad raise money for charities at each convention they attend. At the Newark Comic convention they announced that they had raised a large amount of money for  www.heelandtoe.org.uk . This charity raises money for therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy and other physical disabilities to help with speech, occupational and physical therapies. 

However unexpectedly the Jawas tried to make off with the out sized cheque! Luckily Darth Sidious managed to keep those little trouble makers in line and the money safely made its way to charity. 

If you'd like to find out more about The Sentinal Squad here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/thesentinelsquaduk/

This is a wonderful cosplayer who is playing Pink Catwoman giving some sass to the Joker who is helping to judge the cosplay competition

And this is Pink catwoman winning the cosplay contest. She was a little surprised to win since there was some stiff competition but it was well deserved. Well done, this is a brilliant cosplay and you wear it with style. :)

So as you can see I had a really great time at the convention and will definitely be back next year (if my work allows)
Again if you'd like to check out the Facebook page for next year here is a link:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1482577691768377/

Artist spotlight: Zukiestyle - Beautifully bespoke fashion and pet accessories

Artist spotlight: Zukiestyle - Beautifully bespoke fashion and pet accessories

Hello everyone,
Last weekend I went to Newark Comicon and discovered the stall of Zukiestyle who makes lovely handmade pet fashion items and has a whole load of dog and cat themed accessories for the owners too!

This is a few of the many bandanas which Zukiestyle had available at their stall. Its worth noting that the bandanas some in a range of sizes so that you can find one which can fit the smallest puppy or cat to the largest breed of dog.

Why not make your pet your cosplay companion with these superhero themed Bandanas?
I'd like to make a little note on the accuracy and neatness of all of the symbols which are stitched on to the bandanas. Each one is beautiful work and there is no mistaking what each symbol is meant to be.

If your pet does not like to wear a full bandana Zukiestyle also has a range of collars in a variety of themes so you can pick the one you'd like your pet to help you support. I'm actually very fond of the My little Pony collars. :)

Do you love Pokemon Go and take your best friend pooch to help catch Pokemon?
Why not let your dog share the Pokemon love with this Pokeball bandana?
So if you can't catch them all you can at least take your stylish dog out on a Pokemon walk. I'm sure all dogs are appreciating the Pokemon Go craze right now. Even if they have no idea what Pokemon are I bet they are all loving the walks they are all getting.

Why not go for these super cute doggy toys and cushions? In fact I wonder if these come in sofa cushion size so I can show my love for all things canine on my sofa.

Zukiestyle even has some lovely plush models for their bandanas so you can have an idea of  how they will look on your own dog. I just love this little chap, he looks so very cheeky peeking over the edge of one of the displays like a guard dog.

If you don't have a dog or cat of your own but still love them why not check out Zukiestyles range of mugs and coasters? They come in a variety of breeds and styles so pick the doggy you love the best!

Anyway I hope Y'all check out Zukiestles web pages for some awesome dog themed creations

Here are the links:

Pinterest: https://uk.pinterest.com/zukiestyle/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Zukiestyle?lang=en-gb
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zukiestyle/?hl=en

By the way all of the pages are full of simply adorable pictures of pets. So even if you don't have a dog or cat of your own but still love our furry little companions its worth taking a look for the aww factor alone.

Cosplays spotted at MCM London Expo May 2016 - Part 2

Cosplays spotted at MCM Londom Expo May 2016 - Part 2

Hello everyone,
I had a wonderful time at the May 2016 London Comicon and too LOADS of photos of many of the lovely cospayers that I met throughout the weekend. I have already made a small compilation of photos taken at the event, find the link here:
http://buzybobbins.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/cosplays-spotted-at-mcm-london-expo-may.html

However there were just too many amazing cosplays for just one post so here we go again with another collection of superb cosplays for your enjoyment.

BB8 gijinka - From Star wars

This cosplayer has gone the extra mile by having her BB8 umbrella match her beautifully detailed dress. If you are not sure who this cosplay is this cosplayer has helpfully worn a wonderfully detailed BB8 hat complete with sensors and antenna.

Emily from The Corpse bride

I was wonderfully fortunate to catch this cosplayer while a breeze was blowing so her lovely shawl elegantly trailed behind her as she posed.
The skeletal arm is actually from a skeleton used for teaching anatomy. This is a practical approach to this characters skeletal features without having to hide the cosplayers own arm. I have seen a couple sversions of this cosplay where the real arms hidden within the dress but due to the nature of this wedding dress (no extra fabric to hide the arm it looks a little unusual.
I admire this cosplayers detail in dying the fabric, a light fade like this is very hard to but and even more difficult to turn into a working costume but the colour is just right for the character and the fade within the costume particularly the skirt is accurate.

Witch Bandora and Yellow Ranger Power Rangers

I was super impressed by the costumes of this pair of cosplayers that come straight from the power rangers series.
The Witch Bandora is a notable villain in the Power Rangers series whose appearances cover 50 episodes which is an awful lot of time for a villain to put their plans into action.

If you take a look at the Witch Bandora costume you can see that an awful lot of detail has been put into every piece of the outfit, from the sewn areas to the foam making up details and the very impressive staff. I was concerned that the staff was actually quite heavy considering the size but this cosplayer assured me that the looks were deceptive and it wasn't so heavy considering she had been carrying it about all day.

For more information about this character there's a detailed page on the power rangers wiki here:
http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Witch_Bandora


Toriel and Muffet from Undertale

I found these lovely and enthusiastic cosplayers at the Undertale cosplay meet up.

I love this version of Toriel, while some cosplayers used masks to make her snout this cosplayer used a subtle effect of the black face paint under the nose to give the same effect. It was quite a hot day at the convention so I'd also like to applaud both of these cosplayers for keeping their face paint intact all through to the afternoon when this picture was taken.

One big challenge for Muffet cosplayers is that she has 6 arms because she is based off a spider. I'd like to take a moment to point out the colouration on this particular Muffets arms, it looks like care was taken to make sure that all of the arms matched so at first glance you couldn't be sure which is the real one.

A big well done for both cosplayers in this picture, while there were loads of Undertale cosplayers and everyone used their own unique take on the characters I was especially fond of the details on these versions. :)

A Titan from Attack on Titan

 

This is such an amazing cosplay of a Titan from Attack on Titan bursting through a wall and peeking through the breach. Don't worry though, the wall prop comes complete with a little member of the Survey Corps swinging in to save the day.
The cosplayer actually spent the day hidden behind this wall prop which looked like it got in the way a little bit.


Trolls from Homestuck

 

Here's a close up of a bigger picture (see below) of when I found the Homestuck meet up, even though the comic has ended the Fandom and the fans enthusiasm for the show is still huge. There were so many Trolls, either characters taken straight from the show and after a few conversations I found there were a few fan made troll characters in the mix too. This meet up was great fun with cosplayers singing songs from the show and enacting scenes from the animations.

And here's the whole Homestuck meet up, there are so many fans here and so many awesome costumes. At one point everyone in the crowd just started singing a song from the comic. That's one of the things I love about cosplay meetups, you get the opportunity to meet so many fans, so many great cosplays and often songs, dances and re-enacting favourite scenes. (this very much happened at last years My Little Pony meet up)

Anyway that's all the cosplay pictures I have for now, I took loads more photos but I must get back to posting more cross stitch designs.

Much love and Happy stitching - Se y'all at next years May MCM comicon!

Cosplays spotted at MCM London Expo May 2016 - Part 1

Hello everyone,
On May Bank Holiday weekend I took a trip to London to the MCM comic con and as always I met some lovely people and saw their fabulous costumes. Today I'd like to share a few of the lovely cosplays I saw at the event. I know this post is a little bit late but I have had just so much to talk about from all of the lovely events I have been to this year that the MCM post just kept slipping backwards.

First I'd like to send a big thanks to everyone who took a moment to pose for a photo during the convention. Everyone was so lovely to meet and I do hope you all continue to make lovely cosplays and have a great time at future conventions.

Ariel from the Little Mermaid

This is a particularly stunning version of Ariel from the Little Mermaid. I must note that this cosplayer very naturally took a wonderful princess pose and a charming smile.
I later found out that this cosplayer actually specializes in royal cosplays - so no wonder they are so good at princess posing with plenty of practice.
If you'd like to see more of their work they have a couple of webpages to follow, I highly recommend checking them out for a collection of finished works and a few shots of work in progress.

Beaker dressed as Doctor Who

The award for best crossover I spotted definitely has to go to this stunning Cosplay. This is Beaker (of Muppets fame) dressed as Doctor Who complete with a sonic screwdriver and old style 3D glasses. This cosplay is really fun and inspired me to Google this particular crossover. I recommend taking a peek (with safe search on mind you)

Hiram McDaniels from Welcome to Nightvale

This has got to be the very first Welcome to Nightvale cosplay I have recognised. Now it is possible that there have been more of them around the events I have been to but the cosplayers version of a particular character is slightly different to how I imagine them in my head. Since there isn't very much official artwork and Fan art varies a little in details.

Anyway this is Hyram Mcdaniels candidate for the Nightvale mayoral elections and a LITERAL five headed dragon. I adore how this cosplayer has ensured that each head sits differently to help show that each head has its own distinct personality (and in the podcast a distinctive voice too)

If this cosplay has you a little intrigued check out the following link for more information on Welcome to Nightvale.
Website: http://www.welcometonightvale.com/

Ma Dai from Dynasty Warriors

This is Ma Dai from Dynasty Warriors, I must admit I did fangirl about Dynasty Warriors when spotting this talented cosplayer. Though I admit I do most often play Bao Sanniang when playing levels with the Shu side.

There is so much detail in every aspect of this costume from the foam armor to the incredibly detailed coat. I must point out the lovely brush (yes this character does use a giant brush in the game) each strand is added to the brush separately which makes it look wonderful. I have seen versions of this weapon where the whole brush is a solid piece of foam but this is an effective way to make the weapon look realistic.

I must also point out the skilful making of the armour here and the sheer detail in the material used. Even down to the unusual shaped armour on the shoes. A friend has told me that this shape would actually catch weaponry so that the wearer of such shoes would not have their toes cut off. I learnt something new today. Hooray.

Dark Magician Girl from Yu-Gi-Oh

This is a cosplay of possibly one of the most recognisable Yu-Gi-Oh cards beyond Blue Eyes White Dragon. Its got a beautiful attention to detail and all that trimming must have taken a mountain of patience to sew on.
Well done to this cosplayer for a fabulous costume and even going all out to make the staff. I can't figure out how it was done, I may have to look this one up. :)

A collection of Deadpools and Spiderman

Since the Deadpool movie came out the frequency of Deadpool cosplayers has increased exponentially. This year it hasn't been unusual to spot loads of cosplayers all over conventions as Deadpool, some Deadpools are simply from the film or comics complete with swords and a variety of weaponry but some Deadpools come in another costume such as maids, street clothes or more ornate characters. However this fits very well with Deadpools character, I guess the amazing thing about him is that anything really goes and its still (probably) canon.

PS. A few years ago we considered playing a convention drinking game after the show ended, it was called 'See a Link, take a drink' I know its not very original but there were loads of Link cosplays. We considered doing it again with Deadpools but then realized we probably would not be able to make it home if we did so. :)

Looks like this Post is starting to get awfully long and I have so many more cosplays to show you all so looks like I'm going to have to be back soon with a part two .

I'll be posting part 2 soon :)

Much love and happy stitching
Gemma

Artist Spotlight: Twinkle Kitty Boutique - Super Kawaii jewelry and accessories

Twinkle Kitty Boutique - Super Kawaii jewelry and accessories

Hello everyone,
I recently had the pleasure of seeing the Twinkle Kitty Boutique at the Yorkshire Cosplay Convention 2016 at Sheffield Arena.
I was first greeted by two charming young ladies in stunning Kawaii outfits topped off with a selection of accessories of all shapes and colours but all super cute. (I was a little awestruck) They were ever so helpful in helping me find a cute hair slide to match my cosplay for the day. So if you ever see them at a convention why not pop over to say hello?

If you don't have the opportunity to see the Twinkle Kitty Boutique at a convention here are a few links to their sites:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twinklekittyboutique/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/petticats/
Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TwinkleKittyBoutique

I do recommend the Instagram account, its just the thing for cheering a grey day, with lots of cheerful pictures of the products, impressive toy collectors and some lovely outfits for inspiration.

At first glance this looks like a box full of sweet treats but they are actually a collection of lovely rings. They come in a variety of patterns such as cakes and sweets and something a little more goulish like a gravestone or bats for the more scary Gothic Lolitas out there. 

 This is a sweet collection of bracelets and necklaces. I am in love with the little shop necklace its really different yet striking. 

On a personal note I love that there's a variety of styles of bracelet. Sometimes I'd love to go all out and wear something big and flashy but those do get in the way when I am typing so for work I'd choose something with less charms but a cute colour instead.

 Don't those chocolate necklaces look good enough to eat? But someone has already taken a bite by the look of it! tee hee

I love these Necklaces they are very bold and can definitely make a statement even on a plain outfit with beads all the way along and a large charm to catch attention. 

 I bet my lovely niece Chloe will definitely want some of these little bear necklaces. 

Down at the bottom of the picture are packets of hair clips, these are nicely packaged clipped to a piece of card with a nice design which matches the colour of the item. This makes me think that it would make a really impressive gift for a friend since the whole package is lovely. 

A big collection of the Necklaces on sale. My personal favorite necklace is the little star shaped bottles, they are filled with different colours of glitter which makes them look like bottles of fairy dust, Wearing one of these looks like it could add a little magic and sparkle to your day. :D

Anyway I'd better be off, I'm going back to the Twinkle Kitty Boutique Instagram to take another look at their very impressive collection of Tsum Tsums and beautifully decorated cakes. Just the thing for when its raining outside. Heres the links again:

Artist spotlight: Geeky Clean - Power-up your bath time with geeky themed soaps

Artist spotlight: Geeky Clean - Power-up your bath time with geeky themed soaps

Hello everyone
This weekend I had the pleasure to meet the wonderful stall owners behind Geekly Clean at this years Yorkshire Cosplay Convention. I have been wondering if I should call them artists or potion makers in this spotlight due to the delightfully geeky theme running throughout their products.

If you happen to spot a Geeky Clean stall at a convention I heartily recommend taking a little browse through and perhaps taking a sniff of some of the testers since everything smelled amazing! However if you can't wait for their next convention appearance they also have a website to order from:

Website: http://geekyclean.com/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getgeekyclean/

Heres a few of the lovely things I spotted at the stall.

Yes that is Nuka cola flavoured lip balm in the background, with a sweet cola scent it will be hard not to use up the whole tube in a short time. I'm fairly sure you won't need any RadAways after using this lip balm though. 

At the front of this picture is the oddly named Unicorn Poop sugar scrub, though trust me it has a delightful vanilla and strawberry smell. For this item I got help from my lovely niece Chloe to tell you all about it. 

Chloes corner

Hello everyone, its Chloe here to tell you all about the Geeky Clean Sugar Scrub

The Unicorn Poop scrub is a pretty purple colour and even comes with a little sprinkle of pink glitter on top. My friend tells me that unicorns do fart glitter but only after they have eaten a rainbow so this comes from well fed unicorns. 

To wash my face with the scrub I only needed a little scoop so this pot is going to last for a long time. 

The scrub has little bits of sugar in it to help scrub all the dirt away (not that my face is that dirty). As soon as I started to use it it had a vanilla and strawberry smell which was not too strong. Even as we sit in our Pjs afterwards I still smell like a nice pudding and my face is all soft. 

These are some cool bathbombs, the Pokebombs and Pony Bombs contain a little surprise inside of a small toy which will only be revealed after the bomb is popped into water. The Sorting Bomb contains a small charm representing one of the Hogwarts houses from the Harry Potter books/films so why not pop this in your bath and see what house the bomb has sorted you into!

The Hey listen bomb is full of glitter which will turn your bath into a sparkly treat, luckily Navi does not come with it. I don't think I could relax in my nice bath with the call 'Hey Listen' echoing around the bathroom!

These look like they are going to be loads of fun particularly when convincing the geeky kids in your life to get into the bath. The only problem will be hiding them so they don't accidentally get used all at once!

This is another of my absolute favourite products. It has a nice refreshing lime scent to accompany the Cthulhu green colour. 

After a couple of uses I can confirm that I have not yet fallen into madness so this should be safe for even the most mythos savvy adventurer. Since Geeky Clean products are vegan friendly and do not use any ingredients tested upon animals so we can be assured that no animals or Great Old Ones were harmed in the making of this scrub. 

Give yourself a +1 cleanliness bonus to Charisma by washing with these generously sized soaps in Health, Mana and Poison varieties. After a hard day battling orcs and goblins you can clean up and take home some sweet loot in the form of a D20 dice hidden inside each bar. 

There are loads of other products on the website I havn't even had time to talk about here, including candles, fabric freshening sprays and salt scrubs. I heartily recommend checking it out here: http://geekyclean.com/

I'm off to wash up for bed with my lovely new scrubs so bye for now
Much love and happy stitching
