In for the kill

From our wedding, on October 31, 2008, which had a Historic Steampunk theme to our garb (yep, that was on Halloween~)

Cosplay and Costumes


Flash Player 8 is required to view SitBack. Get the latest version of Flash Player.
Cosplay & costumes are what I create the most, as well as different fashion pieces, such as Steampunk inspired, Japanese wa-loli outfits, and corsetry.

And yes, I do take commissions, thank you for asking XP

You can see a ton of different things in my gallery, or on my web site: BeAnime.com

Artisan Crafts Tutorials

All of the various sewing and craft tutorials that I have made can be found here, in this one simple folder!

If you have suggestions for future tutorials (except for corsetry stuff, please) let me know, and I'll see what I can do for you!

As always, if you need help with a sewing project, feel free to message me and I'll do what I can to help!

Critiques


It's really cute! I love plaids to no end, and this is such a cute use of them! The main thing that draws my eye that seems to be...

Testing a Journal Skin - Beach

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 20, 2009, 8:35 PM


This was done to test the new Journal Skins feature of dA. I just felt like doing something graphics-y for a while today, as I haven't been in a very creative mood lately. This is free to use for subscribers, I'll be uploading the deviation of it shortly, once I figure it out ;P

Please let me know if you have any errors viewing!

Also, if you do decide to use this Journal Skin, you can (and, indeed, should!) edit the top menu - it will look it's best if you leave it as one line, but change the links to being to your gallery, and your important sites (your Twitter, LJ, a specific gallery folder, or even a Watch link ~)

All you need to do is leave the first part alone, where it says < div class="wrapper" >< div class="floatingmenu" >. After that, change all the stuff to be links to your own bits (if you don't know how, read on). Leave the final < /div > alone, however, you still need it!

Put the rest of your content in the "Content" part of the entry, and you're good to go!

If you don't know how to create a link to something in HTML, here is the down and dirty. First, open the page you want to link to in another tab, and copy the address (right click, copy). Then, type (without * symbols!): <*a href="http://somepage.html"*>, where somepage.html is the page you want to get to (i.e. the thing you just copied, open in another window, remember that? Just paste it there instead!).

Next, you'll want to type what you want the user to see, something like LOOK HERE NAO! or whatever. Then, to finish it all off, be sure to "close" the tag with <*/a> (again, remove the *).

And you're good!


How to make headers & thumbs


Simply type <*div class="heading">What you want people to see!<*/div>, again, without the * in there. Pretty easy, huh?

You can also see what thumbnails look like, just type <*div class="thumbs">:thumbnail####:<*/div>



You get the :thumbnail####: off of the submission, right under the submission date and favs and all that good information.

Good? Good!


I hope this works for you, and again, please let me know if there are any issues with it from your angle, I can only test in FireFox 3.0.11 and Safari XP

And, I swear I'll post a real journal soon! I promise, I'm not (quite) dead yet~

And, I will be going back to the Sewing Mama layout, but this was just fun to make. Yes, torturing myself with CSS for hours on end is "fun." See how boring I am?!

deviantID

I'm a sewing maniac, who is willing to take on just about any crazy commission (cosplay or otherwise) you could throw at me!

I graduated with a BFA in Costume Production in the Spring of 2008, and have been working diligently for Taeliac Studio, the business I've been running since 2002/2003 (I can't honestly remember which~) specializing in cosplay commissions.

I love sewing, and I am willing to try to help anyone out with their questions (although I'm insanely slow to respond to emails and notes, sorry!)

I'm moving slowly more and more into other areas as well, such as prosthetic work for special effects makeup, leather working for armor, and millinery (hat making), but you never know where else I'm going to go!~
