Ace Werewolf
Though Tasha still rarely creates costumes, her main focus now is small parts and useful accessories.
Ace was the first ANYTHING I had ever made. Ace's head base is made using the mesh technique. He also has a moving jaw that works with a hinge-pully-system. His paws are foam built off of a sock. His gloves are amazing, made directly onto a pair of gloves. My mother and I worked deligently on him and finished everything in about two weeks, just in time for Halloween! He includes head with amazing vision and air flow, tail, handpaws and feetpaws (including black eagle claws).
Skyforme Shaymin (Skymin)
Gijinka Style
Skymin was my first Gijinka* style costume as well as my first experience with a different sewing technique. Working over the span of a year, we obviously had a lot of time to work. This is my FAVOURITE thing i've ever made and still stands to this day.

*Gijinka: Gijinka (擬人化; Western term Humanization) is the Japanese meaning of “humanoid”, “personification”, or“anthropomorphic”[1]. Rather than referring to just any animal with human characteristics, a gijinka is most often a fan re-design of an animal-like character in a human or humanoid form. The characters often seem to wear a cosplay of the base character rather than having real animal features, which can also be found back in real life cosplay of those characters.
Lopunny Partial
Munchlax Fullsuit
These costumes are meant as a PAIR. My brother and I sported these bad boys in 2010.
Lopunny was my first solo-head project and was finished in a year's time. She is made of fleece and short pile mink fur. Lopunny is unfortunatly the WORST of my costumes to wear. Her vision is OK, but the head is extremely tight, doesn't breathe at all and her ears ARE SO HEAVY. (But the ears are perfect)
Munchlax was a collaborative effort between my Mother and I in three days. Munchlax was my first fullsuit and first "Mascot" type head. Munchlax is made out of fleece and is extremely fun and easy to wear!

Hunter (L4D2)
Video games have obviously been a huge influence on my life, but not just animals from games!
The Hunter is a Special Infected class Zombie from the FPS Left 4 Dead.
The Hoodie and Pants were purchased at Walmart, then over the span of a few days I added acrylic paint to the outside and bound the arms in duct tape. Thanks to Todd Debreceni for the Special Effects make up help!
This costume is my SECOND favourite to wear, since it's all about bringing the character to life!

DISCONTINUED 2010 Wargle Fullsuit
This suit is the result of hopes and dreams that were crushed by NOT PLANNING AHEAD. It's hideious, but I feel it's important to share. Everyone has to start somewhere! For a while beaks were difficult to achieve for the entire costume community, eventually methods were created to achieve a beak. I believe I had the right idea, just no where enough skill or proper material to do so.
This WIP was after my Lopunny and Munchlax suits however I was attempting to balance school life with craft life, which lead to disaster.
My Wargle concept will be carried out one day when I feel my skills are proficent.
