Bored of being human? We can help.
Hi, Sarrah here! Welcome to Red Nebula Studios, a small business run by myself and my husband since 2009. I'm an eclectic artist and enjoy making prints, buttons, bookmarks, resin-cast sculptures, vinyl decal designs, and more, along with a number of digital downloads you can get from our other shop ( https://rednebuladigital.etsy.com ). I'm also a sculptor and maskmaker, so you'll find a lot of pieces in this shop to help you create your own creature costumes, such as masks, claws, horns, and fangs, all created from my own original clay sculptures and cast in durable urethane resin.
I looked forward to Halloween every year while growing up, and often worked with my mother to decide on a more unique costume than those usually found in stores. I made my first costume entirely on my own when I was 13, a velociraptor which included a mask with a moving jaw. In the years that followed, I created costumes for myself off and on, and usually had something new to wear for Halloween each year.
Enter the rise of comic conventions and the popularity of cosplay. While my dinosaur so many years ago is technically my first cosplay, I had no idea what the word meant - if it was even a word back then! I found myself suddenly in a wonderful world where costuming didn't have to be confined to one time of year, nor was it an activity "just for kids". I found myself fascinated by a character in a video game, Garrus Vakarian, and knew I had to bring him to life.
Like a flame rekindled, my love of costuming returned in full force. It's always been about creating creatures for me, whether terrifying monsters, fantasy beasts, or strange alien species. Creating masks is my specialty, but I hope to help inspire creativity in others too... so you'll find some finished products here, but mostly components you can use to bring your own creations to life! I make horns, claws, and mask blanks, primarily out of cast resin, but sometimes using other materials as well. Each listing has full details about how it was made and what materials were used.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy making it!
