Personal Gallery - Live-Action Replica and Original Designs
My first costuming experience was in replicating costumes
seen on screen. Choosing to make my own Jedi robe in 1999 was what launched me into the world of replica costuming. Over
time I have discovered the range of possibilities that exist for making and modeling costumes, including original designs.
Here are some examples of the costumes I've replicated so far for myself.

Thunderstorm
Original Design
|
Yes this is an original costume! We designed a special presentation for CostumeCon28 which involved human persona forms of a thunderstorm and the ocean. As the thunder, I designed a costume that looked menacing and war-like, but had no obvious symbols that people consider to indicate "lightning" anywhere on it. My goal was to incorporate every tip and trick and method I know how to do into one costume - and I got pretty close!
The costumes and presentation are going to be revamped and re-presented at Master Class at a later date. Watch for updates!
Costume highlights:
- utilizes a number of fabrics, including Lycra, cotton, linen, and exotic leathers
- beading on pantlets and vest took 3 months
- wings v.1 were tie-dyed in a tub and beaded
- wig is a punk base with extra white and black extensions added, and beads
Awards:
- Judge's Award, "Excellence in Design and Presentation" - CostumeCon 28, 2010

Nini "Legs-in-the-air"
Moulin Rouge
|
The first version of this costume was attempted for Halloween 2001. I spent the next two years constantly upgrading the dress, adding detail and changing the bodice and ruffles to more closely replicate Nini's dress.
Costume highlights:
- Sequined windmills in skirt
- Eight layers of box-pleated ruffles
Awards:
- Best in Class - Journeyman at CONvergence 2002

Luminara Unduli,
Jedi Master
Star Wars: Episode 2
|
Without detailed pictures to work from, I had to design much of the fit using an action figure. That was the only reference for the tiered gown.
The headdress was the most complicated part, going through several versions before I found one that looked the most correct.
Costume highlights:
- The pendant is hand made using Sculpey
- The vambraces are stained leather while the belt accent is vinyl and acrylic paint
- Ben Nye and Graftobian theatrical makeup was used
Awards:
- Judges Award at FilmCon 2003
- Workmanship Medal at CONvergence 2003

My original tunics are a Qui-Gon Jinn (Star Wars Episode 1) replica in linen and linen/cotton blends. The robe is wool. Belt buckle by SFPROPS, lightsaber by Larbel.
In 2003, a friend and I made working Starfighter headsets (seen in Episode 2) to go with our FRS radios. As far as I know, we are the only ones who have even attempted this prop replica.
Awards:
- Best in Class - Novice at CONvergence 2001
