Avatar Kyoshi, Part I: Accessories

Note: this tutorial was transported over from the old Wordpress site, which is no longer active.

Welcome to my first “official” cosplay write-up. I will do these for a few of my costumes to both help out other cosplayers and to have a place to show my progress!

I premiered Avatar Kyoshi last Saturday at Wizard World Philadelphia. I had a blast! I’m still trying to track down some pictures that people took of me.

Well, let's hop to it!
