Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of creating a costume? Well wonder no more! Below I've shared links to all of my costume diaries with pictures galore!
See the Photo Gallery
Or scroll down to read about each costume's creation.
(Due to Ongoing Health Issues, I no longer take costume commissions. However, the rapidly expanding cosplay community has ensured that Google is full of plenty of costumers who would be happy to accept your commissions. The following tutorials may be of assistance to them in recreating your dream costume.)
