I know I promised more photos but they may not be forthcoming for a while. There were two official photographers and one of them took over 700 photos, it will take a while for them to process and upload as they check and label each one. Both ladies are in the middle of studies and that has to take precedence so photos will have to wait. I’ll also have to take the time to ask permission to publish them here.

Remember the guy who gave me $20 to go away? He was Matt Falloon with some amazing talents with balloons. I’ve got a couple of his creations here.

Death of Rats
If Death of Rats were my size then this balloon creation would be lifesize.
Death
This is the lovely Marion doing Death. The whole costume was seriously amazing. She can still use her hands but they’re covered in black gloves so they’re only visible close up. She’s got Death roughly the right height but she can still see, although there is a problem when the doorway or room is too short for her and she received heaps of help from people.
Feegle
Another of Matt’s creations is again larger than life. A Nac Mac Feegle, complete with sword.

And here are two real Feegles and a Kelda with the balloon Feegle so you can get an idea of size. Aren’t they all clever?

So many workshops and things to do. I’ve already mentioned the origami elephants. You could sign up to join the Plastimake workshop, join the Chain Maille workshop, work on your cosplay in the Chaos Costuming room. There were games happening in abundance, Pat ran Werewolf, new games were turning up. I’ve already mentioned the Galah Dinner, the auction and the Dealer’s Room. There was always someone hanging around to talk to. I think I can safely say much fun was had by all.

Wednesday I’m planning a giveaway. It’s the sixth anniversary of this blog and I’m putting together a pack of books for people to choose from. It will be open to Australians only for postage reasons and I’ll have an incredibly hard question for you to answer. Thursday I’m up to W and I’m considering writing about Jack Wodhams but that may change and hopefully I’ll have more photos for Friday.

 

  1. I haven’t actually heard of most of the characters… but I love the enthusiasm of everyone. My niece and I were planning to go to Supanova this past weekend at the Gold Coast but something else came up. Not sure I would have dressed up though she was planning it.

    1. Dressing up is optional. Clothes are mandatory but so long as you’re covered the rest doesn’t matter.
