Hey folks, this is just a little note to say that this page should be considered archived. I don't intend to delete it at this time as it is a wonderful gallery of my work.

Since moving out to LA, my client list has been pretty strictly limited to Twig the Fairy, Primrose the Fairy with their fairy friends, Saffron the Fairy & Poppy the Fairy, and a handful of my personal friends.

As my focus has shifted to producing live and streamed content with Pick Your Poison Productions, it has become clear that I do not have any need or availability to expand my clientele. As such, it seems unnecessary to continue advertising my work in any capacity.

My own costuming for cosplay & personal projects is being more heavily covered on (though not an exclusive focus of) my other social media accounts, which you can find here if that's of interest to you: linktr.ee/durnesque

Thanks for being a part of so many years of sharing my work and growth. 🖤

I've had the pleasure of working on a couple of costumes for my fellow The Labyrinth Masquerade Ball performers this past week. I'm excited for them to debut at the event this weekend!

Been working on my personal garb for The Labyrinth Masquerade Ball and it's been a while since I've loved one of my own creations so much. This has just turned out exactly as I was envisioning. It just needs trim that I've been waiting on and it's finished.

My latest commission! I had the pleasure of working on this RenFest outfit for my friend, Damien Haas, this week! It was a fun project to tackle. These are the kind of pieces I've only been making for myself the last few years, so it was really great to get to collaborate with someone else! And especially such an old friend - we met in the trenches of community theater way too many years ago to admit 🤣

The wonderful Saffron the Fairy will be making an appearance at the Arizona Renaissance Festival this year!! Go and say hello! The red & orange dress she's wearing below is one of my most recent fairy dresses - was such fun to make her something so vivid and bright!

Today I begin preparations to leave, so I'm excited to finally announce that I will be performing at the for five whole weekends!! 💕

Our fave will be spreading magic around the for the first two and last two weekends- and she was so kind to extend an invite for me to visit during the middle of the season so that I may share some magic of my own with you all while she's away! Thank you so much Twig ❤️❤️ For giving me an opportunity to experience something new and exciting, and for trusting me to spread some musical magic to in your stead.

I can't wait to make new friends and memories, so please come out to say hello if you can! ❤️

Did a little something fun and made 4 gold iterations of my favorite earrings. If I had a proper shop, I think I'd call them Raven and Chains. 🖤

I don't know that I'll ever offer these again - jewelry is not exactly my idiom, but it is fun to play with now and again and I've gotten a lot of compliments on my original pair. $32 each including shipping (USA). Message to purchase.
