Welcome to my gallery! (If you're new to DeviantArt, click on "Gallery" near the top of the page to see all of my work. From there choose a category or click "Browse" to show everything.)
Here you'll find a small selection of my art, old and new. I've invested countless hours into these works, as I am passionate about craftsmanship, always improving my techniques and striving to make my wearable pieces durable as well as detailed.
I am fascinated by art which is as rewarding on close inspection as it is at first glance, and hope to give my own work the same feeling of treasured significance. My great loves include my husband, all things MYST and D'ni, video games, cosplay, and observing tiny birds.

I keep most of my cosplay photos at cosplay.com now to avoid crowding DeviantArt. Please have a look! [link]

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy. :)
I haven't posted anything for quite a while but have been working on various projects. I basically gave up on Majora's Mask work this winter and plan to start back up when the weather becomes summery and good for resin casting outdoors, or whenever I finish my giant cosplay project of the moment, whichever is later. But said giant cosplay project is starting to develop a personality so I'm sharing a progress photo of his head, jawless though he is at the moment.

Does he look familiar?

(Some major perspective going on here. Those are grand horns.)

Will I get him finished in time for SakuraCon? Who knows? He is a sponge of effort and detail, able to compress weeks of labor into a singularity that allows little visual progress to escape. But slowly slowly he becomes symmetrical and refined and reinforced.

I'll be really happy when this silly head is finished. The whole costume is going to be an ordeal but it will be nice to be completely hidden in it for once.

I'm looking to make some masks of my own- one of each mask present in Majora's Masks. I've done enough mold casting to know how to go about that, but you said you used an 'experimental cast in plaster, claycrete and Sculpt-a-Mold'. For future masks, was this mixture still applicable, or had it changed? Any suggestions and/or mix ratios you can offer to someone looking to try this out? Any luck with the resin casting, as I know that shit can be HIGHLY INFURIATING? ; v;

Not really, no. :/ Still perpetually in a learning process myself. I just follow instructions as best I can and try different things to find a good mechanical bond.

Hello! I've got a question: What is the casting made of that you use for Majora's mask? Just currious cuz I was wondering if you make the mold out of clay and then cover it with casting to make your masks?
