Tutorial: Fur Trim!

The season during which this particular effect would be most useful is just about over, but... here's a quick little tutorial about sewing fur trim! This covers trimming a lined garment as well as an unlined garment.

February Livestream - Save the Date!

We'll be doing the February stream this coming Saturday at 3pm mountain time! I still have a ton of prep to do for Little Sapphire's Lullaby (and Emerald City Comic Con right after!) so I'll probably be crafting during this month's stream!...

Crysta: Before & After

Here's one of the Crysta photos before and after editing! I shot all of these photos on greenscreen because my big goal with this shoot was to composite myself into macro plant images for maximum (or rather, minimum) fairy size!

By the way, it's really hard to pose while balancing on one fo...

Jester's Bad Advice: An Update!

It's been a while since I talked about this, so I thought I'd give you an update on my new web series, Jester's Bad Advice! This is going to be an ongoing series in which Jester answers advice questions sent in by followers (plus there are going to be some small nods to the events of the show —...

Some updates are boring!

Hello! I don't usually post updates without photos or videos, but sometimes I have to do work that isn't exciting or visual, and during those times I often feel guilty for being silent, and worried that people think I'm not doing anything. (That's more about me than about you! You guys are always...

See the inspiration for the Jester pin-ups!

All of my pin-ups are directly inspired by a classic pin-up painting or illustration! My favorite pin-up artist is Gil Elvgren (I have a well-worn coffee table book of his work that I often reference for my pin-up cosplay projects) so all three of these are based on Elvgren works.

First Crysta photo!

I had way too much fun picking out macro photos of the forest floor to use as stock for this set, haha! I'm not sure yet if I like the blue glow... it's canon for the movie when Crysta is flying, but it also feels a little garish. Here it is without the glow, which do you prefer?

January's Quick Cosplay!

January is always a bit of a whirlwind, and yet again this year, I didn't get a new cosplay done during the month! Luckily, nearly a year ago, I sewed this costume for Crysta from Ferngully and never finished it. So this week I ordered a wig, whipped up some quick wings, and did a shoot....

Jester day was successful (and PACKED)

I spent all day yesterday doing Jester stuff, and it overall went really well! First I put together a set meant to be Jester's room at the Nestled Nook (the very first inn they stayed at, in episode one!)

Tomorrow: One million Jester things!

Whenever I get into full makeup for Jester, I try to shoot as many photos and videos as possible, to maximize how much content I can wring out of that 2-hour process and 1/5th of a face paint cake, haha! Tomorrow I'm getting into Jester again, so I have a long to-do list! Here's what you can expe...
