This is Elam’s take on a ball gown a human version of Princess Celestia from My Little Pony might wear. It’s even got LEDs in the gauze wings for a magical glow.

ViralNova: Did these costumes evolve over time? What did you make first?

JE: For sure! My very first costume was a simple A-line dress with an elastic band at the top and waist. With each costume I made, I was developing a new skill or some new technique that helped me make my next project even better than the last! Learning to sew was kind of like leveling up in a video game!

Elam has reworked a number of Disney princess costumes, making them even more opulent and gorgeous. This Princess Jasmine costume from Aladdin features enough jewels for a real princess, plus side slits for a little sexiness, making the costume more grown up.

ViralNova: Who do you want to wear your pieces?

JE: Anyone with a love of fantasy and ornate gowns. Wearing these gowns is an escape from the everyday world, and I’m happy to create a gown for these people who need an escape.

This gown is a dressier take on the gown worn by Lady Almathea in The Last Unicorn (who is really a unicorn in human form). This was one of Elam’s favorite characters growing up.

ViralNova: How do you want people to feel when they wear your items?

JE: As though they are transported to another, more magical realm, place, and time. I want them to be the center of attention and admiration, like a magical creature.

Disney’s Snow White gets a truly royal look with this gown, which took its inspiration not only from the film, but also from historical fashions.

This gown is a re-creation of the character Regina Mills’ gown from television’s Once Upon a Time and explodes with feathers and lace. There’s even a custom-built petticoat underneath to give the gown its full shape.

ViralNova: What creations are you most proud of?

JE: That is a really hard question. With each new creation, I’m still learning something new, therefore I feel like each of my new creations are better than the last. I recently created a Fairy Queen Titania that I was really proud of. Sometimes it’s hard to let my commissions go.

ViralNova: When do most people wear your works of art?

JE: Most of my clients wear my creations on their wedding day, at comic conventions, and at masquerade balls.

Elam often designs her own original gowns, taking inspiration from nature, mythology, and even her friends and clients.

ViralNova: What might you make in the future?

JE: I’m working on focusing my work for brides. Every bride deserves to have something unique on their wedding day. I want to create something that will make them feel like a princess on their special day.

The horizontally stacked pieces of fabric on the Mother Earth gown were meant to evoke shelf mushrooms, which can be found growing all over forests.

ViralNova: Are the bridal gowns a new venture?

JE: It is fairly new. In 2014, I started making wedding gowns for clients (the same year I got married).

Elam also created her own wedding dress! Visit Firefly Path’s bridal division to find the bridal gowns made for fantasy (or just straight-up fabulous) weddings.

ViralNova: Can anyone place an order?

JE: Yes! My team of seamstresses and I take orders from all around the world for a variety of clients.

You might think a cape is simple, but not in Elam’s hands. This cape, inspired by forest spirits, includes a lot of subtle detail, including a set of sparkling branch “wings.”

This is the rough shape of the arcade machine – unpainted wood, without the screen or any of the electronics that would go on to make it any gamer’s dream.

These days, we can get just about anything on-demand. Whether it’s pizza, new movies, or newly released games. Playing with people on the Web at home is great and all, but what about those days when you and all your friends took a trip to the arcade? Now, those were the days.

Arcades resonate with our youth and while many things have improved with the technology, the communal nature of them still stands. We largely got it right the first time. They were a big part of many people’s childhoods. In an effort to experience a taste of his childhood, one man built his very own arcade machine.

He then had to prime the wood and drill holes in the wood where the electronics for the game controls would eventually go.

When it came time for the actual paint job, he chose black with white trim – a simple, but excellent choice for a color scheme.

Then, it was time to start working on the electronic components.
The inside of the arcade machine.

At this point, with all the buttons installed and the painting completed, it’s looking a lot more like the real thing.

Luckily, television technology has come a long way since the days of the original arcade machines. This guy was able to use a flat screen to play his games.

With the TV installed, all he had to do was cover the section behind the buttons and joysticks with some plexiglass. He also used screening to block the sections around the TV where you can see through to the back.

The finished product looks just as cool as the real deal!

Any normal persone would be pretty confused if they ordered a Coke from a vending machine and got this instead.

At one point Kedoozle was supposed to be the grocery store of the future. As you can see customers could select what they wanted through a series of windows and the items would then be dispensed to them via a vending machine. Pretty far our stuff and we’re glad it didn’t catch on.
