What’s in the box?
A couple of projects that I put some time to recently are what I call box modifications. I took a standard store bought box and modified it to suit specific needs. Mostly I didn’t do any cosmetic changes to the outside. I’ve only done two so far but I really enjoy the challenge of getting...
June’s Random Prompt
Over at my Patreon page, I collect prompts from my patrons. And every month I tinker with one of those prompts in my free time between other projects. Lately I’ve been using this to get back into painting, upping the ante from my usual level of sketch based costume design, but there are a couple...
May’s Random Prompt
Over at my Patreon page, I collect prompts from my patrons. And every month I tinker with one of those prompts in my free time between other projects. Lately I’ve been using this to get back into painting, upping the ante from my usual level of sketch based costume design, but there are a couple...
Nine Panel Skirt
So a project fell into my lap the other day, that I was able to expand into a few things that make me really happy. First it started with the fact that a character needed a simple, but opulent wedding outfit. The requirements were white and gold and lace, in the same corset and mermaid...
Aged Leather Knee Brace
My best friend wanted to play a character with a bad knee, in a medieval fantasy setting. For the most part he has healthy knees, and really just needed something to visually demonstrate to others the weakness, and maybe gently remind himself to incorporate it into his physical acting. He tried a run of several real...
Site Scouting
While we all wait for my business name and all that to become fully licensed and legal, I’m getting everything sorted to finally finish my Etsy shop. That means I need photos, lots of them. Sadly I live in a nice shady apartment; I never get good enough lighting from the sun to take good photos...
Wizard’s Belt
My current big project is a full set of ornate wizards robes for a good friend of mine. A key part of jumping the robes up a notch in the scales of grandiosity is sash or belt with dangly stuff! So while I have to wait to start on the robes proper for certain specialty...
Puffing and Slashing all over the place!
So this past week my husband gave me a design challenge. What happens when you apply puff and slash to outfits that aren’t European renaissance themed? First let’s talk briefly about what defines puff ‘n’ slash for this challenge. For me I instantly go to the Landsknecht. The idea of showing off how rich...
It Was Cold That Day Too.
Oof! Last week was a doozy. Digging in to the legal shenanigans of starting my bespoke costumes and props business turned out to be Way more time consuming than I originally anticipated. This has slowed everything down, both my writing and my crafting. Rest assured the slow down is almost over and you’ll have some...
The Mistake of Vengeance
This is a short piece used as part of the background for a LARP character in a game down near LA. Twin Mask is a game with a whole bunch of awesome people, even though the politics of it often stress me out. If you’re in the area and want to check it out, they...
