“You've got your mother in a whirl She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl Hey babe, your hair's alright Hey babe, let's go out tonight You like me, and I like it all We like dancing and we look divine You love bands when they're playing hard You want more and you want it fast They put you down, they say I'm wrong You tacky thing, you put them on!” 🦋💙🧵 Loved doing my little swamp witch photoshoot a little while ago, but wanted to do a more masculine outfit. Sometimes I feel like I go femme when I dress up because it’s easier to feel attractive that way, but it can’t quite compare to the kick I get from feeling androgynous and confusing. All that Bowie defiance and mystery. In this shoot, I was trying to capture a little of that with a summer Goth look. All accessories handmade by me, aka #CRAFTEDbyNora and #NoralaCosplay 💙 #goth #summergoth #gothoutfit #gothootd #gothboy #gothqueer #queergoth #pride #queer #nonbinary #genderneutral #nonbinarytrans #nonbinarybabes #transgoth #photoshoot #gothphotoshoot #androgynous #androgynousfashion #bluehairdontcare #bluebuzzcut https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OG2Wwp_Il/?igshid=ol0zgmip3azv

Check out my new shop!

Hey friends! Well, I did it. I quit my 9-5 to work on supporting myself with my creative pursuits. And it feels SO GOOD.

Just got my etsy shop set up: https://www.etsy.com/shop/craftedbynora

Initially, I’m just working on selling off a ton of stuff I’ve created over the years, plus a bunch of new pieces that I’m working on now. Hoping to create an aesthetic of everyday whimsy and magic. With this established as my base, I’m then hoping to be able to get into my real dream job, building bespoke cosplays! 

I’ve got a bunch of costumes at the moment, just need to take some good pictures. Once that’s done, set up a fancy website and let everyone know I’m open for business!

I’ve faced a few raised eyebrows when I tell people I left my stable job to work in “cosplay”. But honestly? If I had to pick something to work laboriously over for hours every day... it would be this. It’s not just the fun of figuring out how to replicate details and designs, it’s making accessible to people that feeling of feeling GOOD in costume. It feels awesome to dress up and know you embodied a canon or original character so well that you actually made other people’s days. To feel badass and sexy and invulnerable in ways which do not happen everyday. 

Anyways, here are some pics of stuff I’ve got up for sale!

TFW you have to drop everything mid-hair dye to do a quick Tank Girl photoshoot. Bleaching out my hair and the leftover blue tips screamed “Lori Petty!” I love that movie AND that graphic novel, Rebecca is kind of a hero of mine. #noralacosplay #cosplay #loripetty #tankgirl #tankgirlcosplay #tankgirladventures #tankgirlhair #loripettytankgirl #hairdye #adventuresinhairdye #silverhair

Star Wars Cosplay

A few pics of the cosplay items I made for my darling siblings for their birthday this month. Everything is thrifted or handmade and upcycled. 

My fabulous schwester as Rey from The Force Awakens. 90% of this costume is thanks to Saver’s. 

The replica Han Solo blaster (DL-44 BlasTech pistol for you dorks out there) I made for my brother. Suped-up kids toy. 

I love my siblings. They’re such great people to craft for. <3
