lessons learned from hilarious mistakes) to demystify the complexities of
dyeing on both synthetic and natural fabrics.

narrative to survivorship and recovery as it relates to the needs of real-life

BLEACHCAKE COSPLAY
Bleachcake cosplay has been a cosplayer and
artist for 13 years, and a lifetime lover of video
games. Anime soon became a passion as they
grew more interested in the world of cosplay,
and that naturally drew them to the happy
combo that is the Tales series. As a former
theater teacher, that experience has been
applied over the years in various masquerades,
many of which have yielded awards for
performance and craftsmanship in the Master’s
division. They also sell charms, prints, and
other merchandise, namely for their favorite
installment, Tales of Zestiria. Photo Credit: Ashley Paulette
