Cosplay, wigs and gemsonas

Anyone watch Steven Universe? If not, you have to stop what you are doing, right now, and find some videos on YouTube. It's supposed to be a kids show but it's so complex and emotional. 

 It's about this boy called Steven Universe and he is part gem and part human, he lives with three crystal gems, to quote the theme song "Garnet, Amethyst and Pearrrl", and he's learning about being a crystal gem. It's too much for me to even explain in a blog the levels of awesome and the feels! THE FEELS!! It can be so emotional, when you get the episodes based around his mum and dad and the gems. Seriously it is so awesome!

Where was I going with this? Oh! So on this lovely world called tumblr there's this tag called "gemsona" where you basically create a gem, it can be yourself which is so cool, the possibilities are endless (please proceed with caution, like all fandoms there are explicit fanfics and art, usually found under "Steven Galaxy"). I thought "why not make my own character up?!" And I did. It's a very quick drawing but I based the gemstones I made up from the two wigs I have, a cute short pink wig (Sugarpie, by Geisha Wigs) and a majestic teal-green ombré lace front wig (Apple Sour, again, by Geisha Wigs).

HERE WE HAVE GREEN QUARTZ AND PINK SAPPHIRE!!! I know it's not the best drawing but I created something of my own. Also cosplay idea? I like making up potential cosplays, and then not using them because I don't go to conventions. How does anyone make going to conventions a job? Please point me in the right direction Jessica Nigiri-Senpai. 

So the one I love right now is the Green Quartz character I have here. I thought "oh she's go the same sort of mad big hair like Rose Quartz, OMG SISTERS?!?!" I know, awesome right? In my defence anything is possible. 

Thing is, when money is little, how does one cosplay? USE YOUR WARDROBE MY FRIENDS! Seriously I have ideas:

(Okay so the dress isn't the right colour, it being a blue/turquoise colour, but it's a start)

There's the start of a cosplay here, a very poor one at that but I'm only starting out. I may or may not get round to doing this, but the idea is there. There aren't any rules to tell you what's right or wrong with cosplay, and if there is someone telling you it's wrong, tell them to fuck off.
