My new Nott finally had her debut, at Supercon last week!

A huge thank you to @welovecolors, who not only designed my bodysuit, but also took these wonderful photos for me!

Hey everyone! Today is my birthday! <3 Consider giving m some support on ko-fi, or on my redbubble as a gift!

I don’t need it. Here, I’m beautiful.

And y'know what keeps me going? ANGER. Anger's an insulator.

While I’m here, here’s an old Whirl photo I never posted.

Happy Halloween everyone! 

Stay safe, and enjoy the holiday!

Hey guys, if you’re a fan of what I do, what I make, or even just casually like me as a person, please… consider donating to my ko-fi. 

Jewel, the beautiful tabby you see above, is on her death bed. My mom doesn’t think she’s going to make it to the end of the week. She’s down to less than 5 pounds, she hasn’t been able to gain the weight back after she lost it last year. She’s not eating or drinking, and she’s not walking much. 

This cat is my mom’s best friend, and in her own words, her furry soulmate. Jewel’s been a part of our family for over 10 years, and was a rescue from a local shelter in our hometown. She’s lived with us in four houses, numerous super bowls, and enjoys HSN. More than anything, we want to be able to make her final days comfortable, and I want my mom to be able to have her ashes. 

Any donations to my ko-fi are going to go to paying for her cremation, or if we can afford it, end-of-life services.

You might not have seen much of it, but we’ve been busy as bees around here! 

While we’re relocating and prepping for Megacon, we thought we’d bring you some of the other things we’ve made in the past year!

First up is this multi-panel dress, maybe from iridescent purple-to-blue dupione fabric from Yaya Han! This dress was made for @spellementary for a Lost Light Rodimus costume that he wore at TFCon Toronto! We also constructed the helm, which was 3D printed in PLA, and painted with our favorite Martha Stewart craft paint. They were an ideal match, and went nicely with the color palette for Rodimus!

We found that the dress didn’t hold up very well, and the fabric frayed a dangerous amount. So while a beautiful final product, we don’t really intend to work in this fabric again.

Ready to go whole hog?

Designed for SuperCon last year, this dress was a labor of love done in an incredibly short time frame. Featuring a 3D printed hook and a hand painted tattoo, the suede is nearly the same color as the wearer! 

Josh Petersdorf actually got to see the dress, and loved it!

On a budget of 50$, it was hard to accomplish exactly what we wanted for Padme Amidala’s lake dress, but for our budget we’ll never stop loving this dress! 

Made from Casa Collection fabrics from Joann, this dress consisted of three separate dye sessions, and was worn for MegaCon 2017 by @spellementary

Wearing my new Nott to MegaCon today! Catch me with my gf as Jester!

So I got shadowbanned on the Dragon Con official page for saying cosplayers shouldn’t use black/brown/yellowface to portray nonwhite characters.

So I’m definitely going to be loud about this because racist trolls dogpiled me on there.

White people y’all don’t get to complain about shit in fandom anymore until you fix your fucking racism.

I had an excellent time at the faire as Nott! My partner and I got recognized by a few people, and some even stopped us for photos! 

This is actually one of them, taken by John Chapman Photography. 

Please give the new season of Crit Role a listen, please support my beloved goblin daughter and her very smelly dad.

A small throwback to earlier this month when I went to the ren faire with some of my coworkers and my gf! 

I went for a soft, casual hobbit-inspired look. I got ‘elf’ a lot though :p

[spellementary]

I had no idea I’d be starting my first real project this early in 2018!

I just got into the new Critical Role story, and I adore Nott. So,,, naturally,,,

Here’s a fistful of 2017 cosplay selfies. 

I really wish I had accomplished more this year! But I had a lot of fun with the things I did do, and I have some big aspirations for this year! 

[spellementary]

Hey everybody! 

Been a while, right?

I didn’t find myself as active this summer as I have been in the past, and a new job is occupying a lot of my time. It’s hard to find the energy to do photoshoots and switch costumes numerous times in a day, or spend hours working on makeup for a few minutes in front of a camera. 

But there’s some good news! I’m working on a lot of cool new stuff, and because I have a dress form now, you can follow me and my roomies making all kinds of incredible stuff over at @stitchsquatch and watch our progress, and check out stuff I’ve made that isn’t costumes! Some new stuff will be going up there over the next few days, and you’ll be able to see it here too!

In the meantime, enjoy these selfies from a recently Adventure Zone cosplay - Hurley! I’ve met some really neat people through this podcast, and it’s brought all of my friends together for D&D again which is just awesome! If you’re still in the dark, give the show a listen!

I actually wore Hurley to my local ren faire this past weekend, and numerous photographers from the event actually stopped my group for pictures!
