Ok, you wanna know why it took me a million years to get this post out? It’s because when I first wrote it and read it over, I realized how incredibly defensive and negative I sounded. Which is really not … Continue reading

I am so super excited to announce that my newsletter is going to be handled by the lovely Natalie Bannister!
I met Natalie and her now husband, Tony in DenverCon last year. Her husband had approached me asking me to design an engagement ring, as he was going to surprise Natalie by proposing to her on stage during Tahmoh Penikett’s panel – and to his word – HE DID!
Natalie wearing her Gadreel-inspired engagement ring – and I LOVE her wedding ring!
Natalie and Tony approached me in VegasCon and announced they had just gotten married – I’m soooo happy for this lovely couple!
Tony is an EPIC Crowley cosplayer – here he is as Good Doggie Crowley!
She and I hit it off from the gate and in my search for my newsletter ninja and I knew within the first 5 minutes of speaking with her that she was the perfect fit.
Please follow both Natalie on Tony on Twitter – she’s @hufflecas and he’s @CrowleyInSales
Starting Monday, 4/18, Natalie will be handling all of my newsletter needs but I’ll still be the point of contact.
If you’d like to be a Newsletter Peep – you’ll have access to sales before the general public, you’ll get special deals only available to Newsletter Peeps, and find out about my newest designs before everyone else – just email me eldwenne@yahoo.com and make sure to include your birthday – I’ll be sending you a special gift around your birthday!
Mother’s Day is May 8 – if you’d like to have something delivered in time for Mother’s Day – make sure your order is placed NO LATER THAN April 25! Any orders received afterwards cannot be guaranteed for Mother’s Day delivery.
It’s with a very heavy heart that I have to write this – it’s come to my attention that there are people out there that are abusing the Always Keep Fighting message.
The abuse is coming in the form of stealing other artists’ designs and using them for profit.
Some of these artists weren’t even selling there wares, they were spending money out of their own pocket and giving their items away at conventions – but people stole their ideas and decided to sell what didn’t belong to them on sites such as etsy.
And to add insult to injury – these people aren’t even DONATING their ill-gotten gains.
Always Keep Fighting’s message runs so much deeper than mental health awareness – it’s about the heart of the SPNFamily and while not everyone has these struggles that AKF lends its support to – everyone in the SPNFamily should respect what AKF is about and put greed, attention-seeking, and negativity aside.
I’m an approved AKF fundraiser. I donate 50% of each AKF item’s sale to To Write Love on Her Arms. The other 50% is used to cover fees I get charged and the materials needed to make the items. I was up front with this when I pitched my proposal to fundraiser when Jared first launched his campaign over a year ago and it was approved with enthusiasm.
I’m pleading with the SPNFamily to please be aware of where you are buying your AKF gear. Please vet out the seller or site you are considering purchasing from. I understand some of the merchandise is cool, fun, or hell, you just want it. But in order to maintain the integrity of the AKF message, please consider how your purchase will impact the AKF mission.
Think about how Jared, Jensen, or Misha would feel knowing their message is being pretty much pirated for profit – I know it breaks my heart.
Just remember why AKF was started – what can YOU do to make a difference?
Tell me what AKF means to you – email me eldwenne@yahoo.com between 4/17/16-4/23/16 – I will choose the top three responses and feature them in next week’s blog
Thanks, y’all!

Three years ago I was looking at starting my dream of making my jewelry designs my career. Starting my business from the ground up.
While I still have a way to go to get my business where it needs to be in order for it to be stable, I’m finally able to do this full time. Who do I have to thank? Every single one of you who have been there for me, who believed in me, and even if you couldn’t buy something, you always told me how much you wanted to.
Kelcy Yount is a woman who is driven. She knows exactly what she wants for Passion Earth Collections and breathes, eats, sleeps it every single day. I want Kelcy, a lovely member of our SPNFamily to achieve her goal of growing her business so she can support herself and her beautiful family consisting of her husband and her son, Ethan.
The final leap of faith is happening and Kelcy needs our support to get her business underway. The first thing she needs to do is get to Houston Con to help her establish a solid customer base.
You can help her get there by donating to her GoFundMe campaign – I’m donating the perks!
If you donate $10 you get a free Supernatural keyring from me!
If you donate $25 you’ll get a free stamped piece from me!
If you donate $50 you’ll be a guest on my Supernatural-themed livestream show So Get This!!
If you’re unable to donate, you can always share Go Fund Me Campaign
You can also see Kelcy’s work here in her Passion Earth shop
All items pictured (except Hocus Pocus) are available now in my etsy shop
‘Into the Mystic’ was such a great episode for several reasons. One that blew my and my daughter Raven’s minds was the character Eileen, portrayed by Shoshannah Stern.
Eileen is a hunter who is hearing impaired. As most of y’all know, Raven was born deaf and has cochlear implants. When Raven saw Eileen and realized she was also deaf, she and I were so excited and grateful to the Supernatural team for creating this amazing hero.
Not only is Eileen a hunter, but she’s a grounded person who is true to herself. She inspired me to create a piece called “Eileen’s Focus”
Another character I was so excited to see was Mildred, portrayed by the perfection that is Dee Wallace.
I strongly believe that her character was based on her own personality, thrumming with positivity and sage advice. Mildred inspired this piece called, “Mildred’s Sunset”
Yes, that’s my motto for 2016 – “Make 2016 Your Bitch!” (because I’m classy like that)
2016 is going to be chock-ful of branching into new and undiscovered territory for me.
I’m starting to get my pieces into films, which I am very pleased about. I currently have a piece in the upcoming short film ‘Homeowner’ -written by Natalie Kruijen, directed by Ryan Curtis, and starring Briana Buckmaster!
I was personally asked by the Hillywood Sisters to replicate Bette Midler’s character Winifred’s jewelry for their Hocus Pocus parody:
And lots of stuff in store for my weekly livestream show So Get This! I’ve got several major kick ass guests I’m working on scheduling (they’ve committed to doing the show, but I can’t announce them until we’ve got a date booked!), as well as an epic idea I have to credit to my husband, Merrill.
We were talking about how much fun the interview I had with Justin Daube was (he’s the cosplayer I interviewed on So Get This while he was in character as Castiel and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/GZmYWf9k29Y) and Merrill said I should have other cosplayers on as well and interview them in character and hold contests!
Are you a serious cosplayer who can not only walk the walk but talk the talk? Email me jodizulueta@gmail.com with SO GET THIS COSPLAY in the subject line. I will contact you to schedule an audition we will do via google hangouts!
If you are selected to be interviewed on the show, you will be put into a contest after each of the interviews have aired to see who the viewers will choose as So Get This Cosplay Champion!
The winner will receive goodies to be announced at a future time!
Another thing I’ve been working on for 2016 is branching out into other fandoms such as The Walking Dead (which I’ve been doing for years but not dedicating a lot of time to it), Once Upon a Time, and of course, Star Wars including the original trilogy and Star Wars the Force Awakens.
Within the coming week or so I will be debuting an X-Files line! So stay tuned!
