 Oz Comic Con 2015

In April 2015 we were at Oz Comic Con with our stall. This was our first time at this event and we had a great time! We ran a Craftiflex Give-away and our lucky winner was Shannon! Thanks to all who entered! It was also my first time entering a cosplay competition. Oz Comic Con Cosplay Championships is new to Australia and the winner from each city goes on to compete nationally and then perhaps to the USA. I was pleased to win my Fantasy category in the Championships. A huge congratulations goes to Sophia who won the Perth round with her awesome Space Pope from Futurama! Oz Comic Con Perth
