7. Do you sell your old cosplays, or just keep it in a huge closet ?

I sold some cosplay, but in Italy it is very difficult. Everyone wants low prices even if the quality deserves more money.

8. Who teached you to craft your cosplays ? Your family ? By reading books or watching youtube tutorials ?

I learned to do cosplay through youtube and friends.

13. You best experience from a convention ? And your worst ?

My worst experience is when you meet people who don't respect your work and try to ruin your cosplay. But it is always nice to receive compliments and appreciations. Once I won a cosplay contest and Kamui gave me the prize and complimented me, I was very happy.

14. Any advice for cosplay wannabees or beginners ?

Watch many youtube videos ! It's helpful.

15. Do you have limits ? Some cosplays you will never make ?

My dream is to do the Overwatch cosplay of Tracer, but it's a very expensive cosplay so I don't think I could ever do it.
