Welcome to my workshop!<\/h1>\n<p>Are you a new cosplayer just getting started on your journey? Or have you been crafting for years and want to up your game? Either way you&#8217;ll find something new to learn here.&nbsp; I&#8217;m here to<span style=\"color: #ff3c46;\"> help teach you new and exciting techniques<\/span> for your next cosplay project. Just starting out? No worries as I also teach the very basics of sewing and cosplay crafting. Cosplay doesn&#8217;t need to be perfect as long as you are happy and having fun!<\/p>\n<p>Nice to meet you, I&#8217;m Eli! <span style=\"color: #ff3c46;\">I&#8217;ve been cosplaying for over 10 years<\/span> and have been loving every moment of it. Throughout the years I have attended countless conventions, competed in many contests &#8211; taking home awards for craftsmanship and performance, and have volunteered as a promotional ambassador for big name companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viz.com\/\">Viz Media<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/aniplexusa.com\/\">Aniplex<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ponycan.us\/\">Pony Canyon<\/a>.&nbsp; I have my bachelors in Theater Arts where I specialized in costume design and creation. I&#8217;ve participated in many stage productions as both a costume creator and actress. I want to share my knowledge and passion with you and help you become the best cosplayer you can be!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-61 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2aaf4fc3569d42198a8b97dae5d2b149.jpg'><img width=\"610\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2aaf4fc3569d42198a8b97dae5d2b149-1024x681.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large colorbox-61 \" alt=\"Aniplex\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2aaf4fc3569d42198a8b97dae5d2b149.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2aaf4fc3569d42198a8b97dae5d2b149-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2aaf4fc3569d42198a8b97dae5d2b149-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2aaf4fc3569d42198a8b97dae5d2b149-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/de4527d6f2da2adefd20f56dbcf33060.jpg'><img width=\"610\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/de4527d6f2da2adefd20f56dbcf33060-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large colorbox-61 \" alt=\"Pony Canyon\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/de4527d6f2da2adefd20f56dbcf33060-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/de4527d6f2da2adefd20f56dbcf33060-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/de4527d6f2da2adefd20f56dbcf33060-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/de4527d6f2da2adefd20f56dbcf33060-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eliebberts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/de4527d6f2da2adefd20f56dbcf33060.jpg 1028w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Okay but who am I really?
