I've been a maker since I was a kid, my dad being a mechanic, wood crafter, and all around handyman; I grew up learning to use a variety of tools. As an art major I learned a variety of additional skills, sculpting, painting, pottery, and jewelry. I started playing with leather in the late 90's and spent 23 years in the mid 2000's traveling the country working at Renaissance/Medieval Faires. Then in 2010 I settled down in north Idaho, and soon after opened my first Etsy shop making and selling steampunk goods. I sell in person at several events in the northwest US region, and as the popularity of steampunk waned, I continued to broaden my cosplay prop and accessory line to include several genera in the sci-fi/fantasy realm. Our brands now include Steampunked Out (steampunk goods made from leather, brass and/or wood), Nemesis Gear (general hero/villain and fantasy leather accessories), and Nox Hollow (our brand for handcrafted magic wands made from more than 30 different woods). I'm always making new items and playing with new ideas. While I do get inspiration from movies/TV and the wide world of cosplay, I design and make everything myself from the start and do not use any store bought patterns. This keeps my products fresh with a unique style. I hope you enjoy your purchase for many years of cosplay fun. Thank you for your support!
