Occasionally I am asked to make a specific costume for someone. These costumes are pieces or sets that fall into different categories. Some are fantasy or Sci-Fi based, some are more,,,stimulating, in nature. |

The "Zhora" Costume, 2004 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I made this costume a couple of years ago for a young woman I know, who was gracious enough to allow me the use of these photos. This costume is loosely based on the costume worn by Actress Joanna Cassidy in the film "Blade Runner". If you have not seen it, do it now. It rocks. The bra is made from molded and hardened 8oz leather, and the cut outs were left un-dyed, so as to look like bare flesh as they are in the film. The inserts were hand stitched. The greaves are made from two layers of 10oz leather, with removable sabotons and knee cops, and Nickel fittings. The Nickel conchos on the sides are also removable. The thigh straps were made from silver lame leather, and yes, they are supposed to hang like that. They did in the movie, after all. Her belt, collar, and armbands are not my work. I will be offering this style of bra for sale at a later date. |

The Fire Witch, 2006 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What can I say? She asked for some kind of sexy witch costume to wear at our local Rennaisance Faire, and she got it! All of these costume pieces are currently available in the "Garb and Costumes" catalog. She designed and made her own skirt and cloak. I am not currently offering those two items for sale, but that may change. It was great working on stuff like this, and I hope to be able to provide more such costumes in the near future. |

I really like this costume a lot. It is awkward to move around in a dark bar, or crowded room, and it is a touch warm, but the looks people give are priceless! And people tend to buy me drinks when I wear it! |

I made this costume for myself several years ago, for a big local costume contest. While I did not win THAT crappy contest, I have won or placed in several others since. I apologise for the picture quality, it was dark, and the camera not so good at night. The suit is made of 3" long shaggy black fun-fur, mounted to a light jumpsuit that pulls up and clasps at the shoulders. The head was originally supposed to have cow horns, but I found ram's horns first, and they turned out great. The head was carved out of a foam bear head. The teeth are from a water buffalo. The mouth is articulated, and it scares the crap out of people when they poke at my teeth and I can bite them! They are not shown, but I am standing on 4" high wooden, cloven hooves. They strap to my feet over shoes, and are hinged in the middle to allow for more natural walking, but turned out pretty heavy. My claws are metal, and quite useful for defending myself against drunk rednecks. They also make a very distinct sound when tapping them on a bar-top or beer bottle! I am wearing one of my armour belts, a Wayfarers Pouch, and a burlap loincloth. |

Goatskin Mantle. This hide had great texture and suppleness, despite its thickness. |
