After much convincing and much begging, I finally got the husband to become involved in the whole Cosplay process. I personally have been dressing up in anything and everything since I could walk, so this was no exception. We both love the Resident Evil franchises, so who better to go as than Jill Valentine and … Read more
I thoroughly enjoyed coming up with the design to complete this Mystique costume. I decided to scrap the body paint idea (it’s cold outside) and just use a unitard instead. I chose to use sequinned material to add the scales effect. I cut and attached this while wearing the unitard which probably sounds just as hard … Read more

My buddy and I wanted to go big for a Halloween contest at work. Rather than go individually, we thought it would be best to double team the contest. After we decided that it would be super awesome to be Forrest Gump and Lt. Dan, we needed a plan to execute the design of the … Read more

This is the Death Star. It is not yet fully operational. She was built from a papier mached large beach ball. I let it sit and dry for about a week and then I cut the balloon out and spray painted the outside. I took crazy foam paper and spray painted it a darker color … Read more
