Nicola Hamilton

Hello my name is Nicola. However, I prefer to be called Nivera. I am 17 years old from little old New Zealand and I love making costumes~!

My love for making costumes came from when I made my first "cosplay" which was the Nightingale Armour from one of my favorite games Skyrim. Since then I have vowed to never buy a cosplay online because I want to challenge myself by making all of my own costumes.

I want to make costume making/designing my career which is why at the end of 2016 I will be moving to England to take costuming making courses to improve my skills and of course to get a slip of paper to say I have taken that course and completed it ect :)

Currently my plan for the this year and next year is to build up my portfolio and record and document as much of my process of making as much as possible, which is why I created my WordPress blog to do just that.

So if you are interested in seeing me create costumes and share techniques, this is the blog for you.
