Lumi the Kirin

Con blues get you down once the weekend has passed? Lumi has you covered!

She’s been making plushies for the fandom since 2014, so you can cuddle your sadness away when con is over. When she’s not sewing up a storm on the latest thing that comes into that little kirin-addled mind, she’s probably cooking some sort of treat. Did you know Lumi is also a Red Seal chef? Don’t worry, we are surprised too, considering how much they love Hamburger Helper.

Lumi can be found loitering at fellow vendor tables talking up a storm, or hiding under her own table slurping iced coffee away from the precious plush.

The continuous demand for hand made plush in the fandom has Lumi considering branching into “how it’s made” videos to help folks (like you reading this! Yeah you!) take a crack at making your own plush.

When not at pony cons, Lumi loves to cosplay! Her most recent outfit being Cowboy Rainbow Dash! Being Canadian/West Coast based, you can primarily find her at West Coast conventions making new builds each year and pushing themselves with new techniques from resin work to metal casting. Lumi isn’t afraid of a challenge, and has found a lot of these techniques learned for cosplay have translated over into their plush-making world as well.
