Welcome to my cosplay website! Here you can find more details on my costume contruction process as well as my blog about my cosplay experiences. I have a variety of info about commissions and photography for those who are interested.
About Me
Hello! I’m Joy, but I go by JLBee (jĕl-bee) online. I started cosplaying in 2014 making costumes out of modified clothes and whatever I had available. I love sewing and designing, so almost all my time outside of studying goes into making costumes for cosplay. There are so many aspects of cosplay I like, and I aim to share my knowledge and experience with others, especially the younger cosplayers in my local area of Atlantic Canada.
My other interests include music (playing ocarina and keyboards), computers (computer science student), and playing video games.
