I have been cosplaying for 9 years and have become highly involved in the Chicago cosplay community, attending various conventions, meetups and charity events over the years. I enjoy instructing as well as learning from other members of the crafting and cosplay community, in addition to collaborating with other makers on various projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1597352676699-T2T5FN8ULGMM0ISQEBZ6/Adjustments.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1596744608147-1VRG1A68PM44O9KR4QP6/Adjustments.jpeg About https://www.paisleyandglue.com/gallery daily 0.75 2022-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1596493345681-5BHO2TSPCQABAJD2905J/Adjustments.jpeg Gallery Maleficent: Alexandra Lee Studios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1652224642007-VCBVOPRMMI7KQ3HIW2EO/IMG_2568.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1652224436326-ZV489ZS2WLYHMF8MKTS5/IMG_5573.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1652224638067-G9PARQ4RUSFPJG7Y7I2Q/katsu2022+697ee.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1596743104828-ABD4YA111T80LKKJ3C4H/Adjustments.jpeg Gallery Wonder Woman: Will Byington Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1596743108029-E35K7GVWHMQPOBB4B1I1/Adjustments.jpeg Gallery Morticia Addams: Naomi Hernandez Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1652224504711-OAB5LMH9NI352FE6X9OX/IMG_1656.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1652224641410-3Z5D2MP5VEN8OFSRHG9O/katsu2022+767ee.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1652224767672-YO64E9XEDRNVP1GB4YFA/IMG_5682.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1596743110638-U383BTFQZNYP2997CREL/Adjustments.jpeg Gallery Hera Syndulla: RavT Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1596743109256-186IY8AYI0PB24E1VLJ8/Adjustments.jpeg Gallery Maleficent: Alexandra Lee Studios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1596743293710-SWWJ3VF7MNIJVRX8I15E/IMG_5877.jpeg Gallery Wonder Woman: LJinto Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1597352097415-X9XF8HBW1QA2QY2YQF9I/Adjustments.jpeg Gallery AllStarAlice: Catwoman LJinto Photography https://www.paisleyandglue.com/appearances daily 0.75 2023-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1628617998946-W8E5E2Q5V7W64JSZ33BE/IMG_2568.jpg Appearances - background I have an extensive background in theatrical costuming as well as education instruction. My own work focuses on fabric-based costumes with complicated patterning, intricate details and original designs but I am interested in all areas of cosplay. Additionally, I create educational sewing content in print, social media and YouTube. I love “talking shop” with folks that I meet at events and enjoy interacting with kids (I have extensive experience working with various charity cosplay groups in the Chicagoland area). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1628618845072-3BZ99M8NZ5PKAKCGZ87Y/IMG_9018.JPG Appearances - Education & outreach I enjoy teaching at all levels and group size! I am comfortable onstage and can lead panels or workshops on a wide range of topics through PowerPoint or in-person demos and enjoy helping folks learn, gain confidence and grow their skill sets. Panels/Workshops could include: Hand-smocking Fabric Comparing Thermoplastics Beginning Draping & Patterning Sewing Machine Sewing 101 Pattern Hacking & Alterations Adding Structure to Fabric-based Cosplays Embellishing Cosplays Decoding Historical Silhouettes for Cosplay Designing Original Cosplays Cosplay Contests and Judging https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f286081d327d767f6f05746/1628618691181-0G1QTUXDBJ94JLQXQOQC/IMG_3943.jpg Appearances - Judging Due to my background in education and costume design, I can give kind, valuable, and professional insight as a judge and have an excellent eye for the quality of construction techniques in all areas of costume making, including original design and out-of-this-world categories. I am adept at looking beyond the surface finish to accurately and fairly evaluate a competition piece as well as offer kind encouragement to competitors.
