Strangecat Cosplay
Cosplayers
USA
Biography:
Strangecat Cosplay consists of two ambitious crafters from the midwest who have a variety of passions - from cosplay to Dungeons and Dragons. They have been competing in various cosplay competitions since 2013. When they're not working hard on their cosplays, they're at their day job fixing arcade machines.
Carley, also known as Cat, is the seamstress of the two, usually up late patterning different pieces and trying to find where her pins went. Her mother taught her how to sew at an early age, and it all continued from there. She studied at the University of Kansas, with experience in textiles and metalsmithing. Always up for a challenge, she often hand-dyes her fabrics, and encourages others to explore outside the box when tackling those difficult cosplay problems.
Victor is the crafter, painter, and eye for detail. As the go-to for priming and coloring, he has an obsession with drawing and painting that started at a very young age and never stopped. He often helps Cat when trying to decide which different colors to use, especially when determining exactly what shade a character's clothes are. He can usually be found painting small details, sewing buttons, or embroidering the finishing touches.
