Hey guys! Just wanted to submit something new... I'm sure some of you have noticed I posted some of the jewellery I made earlier... hope you like it! I know some of you might have been hoping I would have posted some anime, but I will! Anyhoo lotsa things going on... including the fact that I just had a wonderful, beautiful, happy and healthy baby! I'd rather not divulge his name on public domain, rather, if you are my friend and are curious I can note you privately but even then I reserve the right to choose who I will divulge that information to.

Well hope all is well with everyone else! Bright Blessings and YAY ANIME/COSPLAY etc! LOL! Can't wait for my new costumes to get done!!!

I have an Etsy shop up... there's not much in it at the moment since I only just started putting stuff up (and believe me sitting there organizing listings is NOT fun, LOL!!!) Anyhoo feel free to visit it and know that I WILL be adding more stuff periodically as I get everything organized, which includes stuff you guys may already be familiar with as well as some NEW stuff! YAY!

I MAKE STUFF!!!!! Here are some examples of some of stuff I have made in the past... Also, if you can think of something I can make that you need or any suggestions LET ME KNOW! YAY!

I make various Anime, EGL Gothic Lolita, Visual Kei, Harajuku and cosplay / Japan-inspired accessories including lacey EGL headbands, large frilly Lolita barrettes, Lolita Decor Top Hats and Anime styled Witch Hats with lace and frills, both small which clip on as barrettes and large with ribbon-ties (also both funkily colourful and also black and white). Harajuku Japan styled accessories are also part of this great ensemble, including Lolita styled leg warmers with lace and frills, as well as more bright and colourful Fruits like Harajuku-inspired leg warmers and headbands with bright accentuating colours and frills. Also popular in the Harajuku/Cyber-Japan world are bright and colourful faery yarn hair falls! I also make studded lace-up anime-styled bracelets and Piratey/Goth/Harajuku cuffs...

I also have/make some Pirate/Renaissance styled items. This includes a few corset-styled accessories, Fairy Petal/Handkerchief skirts, some jewellery such as maille earrings and cloaks (all hand made by me). A very small and primitive example of this would be in this slideshow [link] .

Most of my faery/handkerchief skirts are pull-string with lovely ribbons and beads dangling at the ends, however some are indeed elastic. I have a small variety of colours and patterns available. The corset-styled accessories (cuffs, bracelets, bodice etc) are very limited, please don't hesitate to send inquiries. You can custom request any colour of your choice in my Etsy shop here: [link]

Here are some exaples of cloaks I have made. Some of my new ones include tie-dyed, have white lace trimming the bottom, or lightweight blue floral brocade patterned, as well as some more classic black styles. They have either frog closures or Celtic button closures, tassels at the tip of the pointy hoods and are wide enough for flow and to fit a variety of people.

Some of the cute little charms of creatures or the few keychains of characters from popular animes such as D.Gray-Man and Bleach, are viewable in the slideshow linked to below or in my gallery.



Please view examples of my work on this slideshow (There are 22 images total. Slideshow begins with some Chibi Art print samples by me then continues into charms and EGL/Anime/Harajuku accessories such as EGL/Anime/Funky Japan hats, hairpieces, funky legwarmers and cuffs) :

If anyone is interested in any of the things I make, or interested in commissioning me, send me a note with your inquiries


Examples of prints I may have at upcoming events

As well as some other art. Also, more chibis to come soon!


To look ahead is the bright path that leads us away from despair! The paths we walk bring learning experiences and ultimately we walk in the right direction!

Hope to see some of you at future events!

Katsucon 15 pix! Stayed with =RoyMustangLover at her aunt's in DC Many thanks there! I didn't get as many pictures of stuff and people's costumes and such as I normally do as cons so I do apologize for the lack of variety but here's what I did manage to get [link] I know a lot of it is from the Bleach shoots, coz we were in them and we just finger happy with the cameras as well as the people taking pix of us with our cameras when we were in the groups.

UPCOMING ART

I know I KNOW it's been forever, and I'm sorry. I'm sorta going through a phase of doing some other stuff... but it should come around to art again and I should get my "sitting-on-photoshop-for-hours-and-hours-to-color-my-pencil-art" oomph back... LOL!!!
