Custom Eyeball Tentacles “Creepy Kanzashi” Hair Ornaments

Posted on January 10, 2016 by Inverse

You asked for them, so here they are! Our new “Creepy Kanzashi” hair clips were such a hit in our Facebook sneak peek update that we got 2 custom orders that day! You guys always have a way of making us feel like our work is appreciated, and we love you all for it! <3

What are kanzashi? Kanzashi are traditional Japanese hair ornaments, dating back as far as the Jomon period. Geisha were even known to wear a different kanzashi for each month of the year. We have adapted the traditional ‘tsumami’ technique for making our hana-style creepy kanzashi, which involves folding each individual petal from pieces of cloth and then assembling them into the desired flower shape. Of course, we here at Lilly Inverse Designs can’t do anything completely traditional and pretty…

Our first “Creepy Kanzashi” hair ornaments are the much-requested tentacle kanzashi, sporting a creepy eyeball centerpiece. Since each tentacle kanzashi is custom made by hand, you are able to choose the color of the centerpiece, 2 colors for the petals of the flowers (inner and outer), and of course the color of the tentacles and spots. The creepy kanzashi pictured are our general green tentacles with purple spots, but feel free to go wild and choose any colors you want! If you would like more colors than just the 4, feel free to email us at LillyInverse@Gmail.com and we can work something out.

Dragonball Z (DBZ) Goku Etched Glass

Posted on January 5, 2016 by Inverse

The anime that almost every child of the 90s started out with is finally available on a one 0f a kind hand-etched glass! Goku powering up to Super Saiyan is sure to turn heads in your display cabinet or hyperbolic time chamber. Normally this design would sell for over $9,000, but we accidentally mispriced it at the first convention at which it was displayed. Because we believe in being fair to everyone, we’ve had to stick with the $34.99 price from then on. You’re welcome.

This listing is for a yellow-bottomed regular drinking glass. If you would prefer to purchase a goblet, tumbler, pint glass, growler, vase, or any other style of glass, just send me a message!

I LOVE glass etching, but it is hard work, and it is dangerous! It’s a combination of traditional art (each design must be hand drawn), paper art (the design needs to then be cut out very meticulously with a super sharp blade), and chemistry (the etching acid must be applied to the glass, which melts away a part of the glass itself and leaves the etched design). Each glass takes me at least an hour from start to finish, with more complex designs (such as the Attack on Titan Wings of Freedom) taking MUCH longer. The result is breathtaking, food-safe, dishwasher safe, permanent, and totally worth every minute of my hard work.

Don’t like the design or type of glass? I am more than happy to create custom etched glasses, goblets, mugs, vases, or anything you can think of as long as it’s glass! Simply send me a message and we’ll work something out.

Custom Cosplay / LARPing Bat Ears

Posted on January 11, 2015 by Inverse

Our latest products, and the coolest thing you’ll see around your local convention and renaissance festival, are these cosplay ears. They come in many different styles, but this listing is for these pictured bat wing style.

A custom pair of bat wing ears is perfect for cosplay, Halloween, renaissance festivals, LARPing, or just being generally awesome. You will be able to choose the color of the ear itself, with the ability to send pictures if you want me to match your skin tone exactly. You can also choose a color for the tips, giving it a 3-dimensional look. The ones pictured are our general black base with pale lavender tips, but feel free to go wild and choose any colors you want! If you would like more colors than just the 2, feel free to email us at LillyInverse@Gmail.com and we can work something out.

These custom cosplay ears are super comfortable and totally versatile. No spirit gum needed! Each pair is adjustable and easy to put on, as shown in the gif above. If your ears feel too tight, simply pull apart or ‘unroll’ the spirals a little. If they are too loose, pinch the spirals together, or roll them up a little more with your fingers. These ears contain no latex and thus are allergy safe for those of you with latex allergies.

Legend of Zelda Hylian Crest Etched Glass

Who doesn’t love Legend of Zelda? I’ve been playing it since I was very young and all we had was Super Nintendo and the original Zelda game. Knowing how hard that game was, I guarantee that this will be the easiest way to capture the Triforce you’ll ever find!

This listing is for a tumbler-style drinking glass. If you would prefer to purchase a goblet, regular drinking glass, pint glass, growler, vase, or any other style of glass, just send me a message!

Attack on Titan Wings of Freedom Etched Glass

Attack on Titan is amazing. I mean, really, post-apocalyptic giant slaying? Yes please! So I just HAD to make this etched glass with the Wings of Freedom crest from Survey Corps on it!

This listing is for a full sized drinking glass. If you would prefer to purchase a goblet, tumbler, pint glass, growler, vase, or any other style of glass, just send me a message!

It’s a combination of traditional art (each design must be hand drawn), paper art (the design needs to then be cut out very meticulously with a super sharp blade), and chemistry (the etching acid must be applied to the glass, which changes the chemical composition of the glass itself and leaves the etched design). Each glass takes me at least an hour from start to finish, with more complex designs (such as the Attack on Titan Wings of Freedom) taking MUCH longer. The result is breathtaking, food-safe, permanent, and totally worth every minute of my hard work.

I Love Cosplay Button

Posted on April 16, 2013 by Inverse

Buttons! Everybody loves buttons! What a great way to show your style, likes, dislikes, beliefs, etc. I have my bag covered in buttons that I’ve made, and I’ve made quite a few friends because of the buttons that I have on display! They are totally great conversation starters!

This is a simple white text on black background button with a hand drawn red heart. Inside the heart is the kanji for ‘love’ in black. It has the words “I (heart) Cosplay” – proclaim to the world your love for dressing up in silly costumes. I know I do!

Size: 1 & 1/4 inches

Don’t like something about this one? I am happy to make custom buttons, just send me an email and tell me what you’d like :3
