This has been my most ambitious costume to date!  This is partly due to the amazingly intricate designs of Weta Workshop and partly because I set some really challenging goals, like aiming to create a screen accurate costume. If you’re curious about how I made this costume, check out the information book I put together… Continue reading Tauriel: Daughter of Mirkwood

Rose City Comic Con 2019: Ganondorf (Twilight Princess) **1st in Tinker, 2nd Best in Show Featured image by KUPKAPHOTO   I think my favorite part of this cosplay is the crown.  Despite the blood, sweat and tears literally shed during it’s construction, its a pretty cool piece.  Ultimately, this cosplay was a labor of love.… Continue reading Ganondorf: The Great King of Evil

Emerald City Comic Con: Ursula (Ariel the Little Mermaid) **3st Place: FX   This costume was such a beautiful challenge.  I’ve never self-patterned and all the sewn details pushed me right out of my sewing comfort zone!  I even had to practice some engineering to get all the tentacles to light up and the eel… Continue reading Ursula: The Little Mermaid
