Personal Banner

For my graphic design class we had to make a personal website in Dreamweaver. My theme throughout my site was rainbows. This banner here was also converted into a navigation bar that when moused over one of the color boxes would flip to have text telling which section of my site to visit. The pictures are chronologically in order going down. Before I saturated each photo, one could see the changes in my hair color and styles.

Shaman

This image shows what I can make synthesizing old costumes. I took parts of the druid and steampunk costume to make this shaman one.

From the druid piece I took the legging/skirt and I used the vest, pants and belt from the steampunk outfit. The fur collar came off a winter coat that I own. All the jewelry came from garage sales or gifts.

Dress

 This is a picture of me wearing a dress that I made from a pattern that I bought at Wal*Mart. The dress is my first attempt at ever sewing something. Unfortunately, the dress is incomplete. The back still needs grommets attached and then embellishing lace around the collar and ends of the sleeves.

 My intention while completing the dress is to make it more like one of my designs (pictured below). I am reading many books and watching videos on how to become more of a proficient seamstress.

Druid

 This is me wearing a costume that I redesigned from the original inspiration. The original is the tier one druid, or "Cenarion Raiment," from the video game World of Warcraft. I picked out the fabrics and my step-aunt assembled and sew everything together.

 There were antlers that went with the costume. They were paper-mâché casts of real antlers. Unfortunately, every picture of me with them looks horrible and the antlers broke during one of my many moves.

Steampunk

CONvergence 2011

 This is an image of a costume I designed and assembled for a convention. The theme of the convention was Steampunk. Many of the articles in this piece were purchased in thrift stores. My friend Connor helped make the vest. He and I worked together on the goggles. The goggles were made from a belt, two jar lids, and clear package plastic.

 Parts of the costume have been recycled into newer costumes that will be displayed at a later date or upon completion. 

 I am the model in the costume. The photo was taken by Peter Verrant via his phone.
