This is only going to BARELY be early access, because I think I'm going to release this tomorrow (maybe Thursday at the latest), but I wanted to show you guys first! This is just spliced together from some of the outtakes/unused footage from my makeup tutorial and Ruby of the Sea outro!
I didn't anticipate my little donut video to go as crazy as it did, but... geez!! I guess people like my...

This is debuting tomorrow, but I wanted to give you guys the first look! Here's "Ruby of the Sea," featuring the amazingly talented and beautiful Starleigh as my hot mom!!
Please don't share this until I make the video public tomorrow — at which point, please show everyone you've ever known!!

The music video for Ruby of the Sea is fully filmed now! I'm planning on releasing it on Monday, but I may have it available for you guys a little earlier.
It wouldn't have made sense for Jester to sing this song, but I made sure to at least include her in the subscribe message at the end — couldn't resist an opportunity to show her off!!
I also shot a Jester makeup tutorial for Se...

Blake just sent me the final "Ruby of the Sea" track!! I'll be filming my video segments this week, and depending on how fast I can do that, the video should go up either this week or next. (I'd love if it could go up this week, but I'm also wrapping up Game of Thrones costumes right now, so I need to be gentle with myself!)

OKAY, so you guys know I've been working on a "Ruby of the Sea" song behind the scenes, trying to squeeze it in around all my other time-sensitive projects, desperately hoping to get it out while her character is still relevant on the show.
When I started thinking about a music video, I just felt like it was impossible. I was almost ready to cave and just release it without a music video, when i...

I was doing pretty well there for about a month, but I've definitely been dragging my feet getting back to these costumes since DragonCon, and I still have FIVE LEFT blegh.
Still remaining: Ygritte, Septa Unella, Margaery, Yara, and Ellaria. The common thread between most of these costu...

I edited up the first batch of photos that Josh and I shot at DragonCon! We were dealing with some patchy sunlight (and one hot, cranky tiefling...) but I think they've come out pretty well despite the circumstances!

The first Jester image, before and after editing!
Josh and I aren't quite good enough photographers to be able to shoot images at cons that look like they were shot on location... oops! So I threw some other trees behind this shot to make the background less distracting.
I like how this photo showcases my "Tusk Love" prop!

Hey friends! I know normally I do a poll with tutorial options for each month, but I think I already know what I want to do for both August and September, so I thought I'd open up July to you guys' suggestions!

WOW. What a weekend!! DragonCon is a whirlwind every year, but it felt especially crazy this time — so many people to see, and time went by so quickly!
We arrived Thursday night, which is honestly a little late to show up to DragonCon!! We had the pleasure of rooming with Yaya Han and her partner Brian!

Sorry I haven't been updating you guys on Jester — I'm working on her exclusively now, so if I posted every time I finished something, it would be nonstop, haha! I have been regularly updating this Twitter thread, though, if you want to keep up on each piece.

Okay, con crunch + calendar crunch swallowed August, so we’re gonna have to squeeze in this month’s patron-only stream on a weekday evening! I’ll see you guys this Tuesday at 7pm mountain time. Remember to check Patreon for the link — it will go up about ten, fifteen minutes before the stream.

I posted this everywhere yesterday, but just in case you missed it — here's the first official Zoya photo! I shot these on a black backdrop and I've been experimenting with neon effects to spice up the images. There should be at least a few more from this set over the next few weeks!
I'm SO happy with how this costume came out, and I put it together really fast! The bodysuit was made in one te...

Since all of these times are during my LAST THREE DAYS to prep for DragonCon, I will likely be sewing/crafting or maybe even packing during this time, haha. So it'll be ...

Tomorrow we're shooting more of the 2019 Game of Thrones pin-ups! This time it'll be Sansa, Brienne, and Nymeria Sand. Keep an eye on the Patron Instagram for behind the scenes sneak peeks!
Here's my Sansa, which I made in one ten-hour chunk (and half of that on stream for $5+ Patrons!) I still need to make the belt, which is happening today. Just like all these top-speed costumes, this one has ...

I wasn't sure if Zoya was going to get done for DragonCon because I have more than enough other costumes on my plate right now between the 2019 calendar and Jester... but my fiancé Josh really wanted to do a GLOW costume together, so I dedicated today to knocking out this leotard! There are a few things I'd change if I were to remake it, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it came together! All...

Here's kind of a scary story from two years ago — this came up recently because I was thinking about how many creators/cosplayers don't think about protecting their information when they first get into it, and then many people don't think about it at all until they end up in a scary situation (like I did!)

Soooo I'm learning to play ukulele, and I'm not very good yet, but I'm not letting that stop me!! While I was on set for my Firefly video, I couldn't help grabbing a quick video of my best attempt at the Hero of Canton. (Since then, I have learned that strumming patterns exist... definitely a step forward, haha.)
