Social media and patreon have become pretty common staples in the cosplay world lately, and many folks have used them to raise money for future cosplay projects. We don't really have a desire to make cosplay a full time job or suppliment our income, but we do have a big interest in giving back to both the cosplay community and to charities.
We also really, really, really like cats. Our cosplay name is based off of our two oldest girls - Hammy has a cow butt and Viola like crunchy food.
We'd love to get more cosplayers involved in this project! You can become a partner by donating part of your own cosplay sales or patreon funds, listing your old cosplays, writing guest tutorials, or just by helping spread the word to your followers! Please email or message us if you're looking to join our group!

We are a married duo based in Boston with over 20 years of combined experience of cosplay experience, and at this point we dabble in a huge amount of materials - particularly sewing and extreme wigworking but also armor, electronics, and SFX work. We really enjoy giving that knowledge back to the community so that newer cosplayers don't have to repeat our trial and error mistakes. However we also want to begin to give back in another way, by using our cosplay skills to generate donations to cat-related charities.
We also really, really, really like cats!!
