I absolutely love seeing my favorite creators supporting each other and using each others books.

[@KamuiCosplay]

Of course!!!

[@bu55c]

Here in the US "letter" is 8.5"x11" and then we have 11"x17" which would be double letter as in 2 letter size sheets side by side in one sheet, and yes, I do need an 11x17 printer.

[@bu55c]

@Yusuf One of my favorite dogs! I'd love to have one in a blue-merle

[@flamingtunapictures]

Oh my gosh...a sewing tin that actually has cookies in it for once

[@Fayleafowl]

I know how often has it been a lie.

[@michellecornum5856]

OOOOH! That's why you don't think you're good at sewing! The cookie box is supposed to have supplies -- so your sewing will be sweet.

same here!

[@misterwick3089]

you're not alone, mine looks like it's been bombed!!

[@Fayleafowl]

My room and am still looking for affordable organizations solutions because that were arm crafting.

[@blickfangercreations]

Thats no Chaos it is Peng Shui -The Way of Creative Living XD XD Or simply Creative Chaos XD XD

[@OlichkaNesterova]

You guys are so cute! Dream workshop!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Oh, thank you very much for your comment, you're so nice! HAHAHAHAHAH

[@jamesdavison6290]

OK, I stumbled onto this looking for airbrush instructions, but as a 66 year old retired guy in Nashville, TN, I was slack-jawed to be invited into this amazing cozy workspace. I am energized to find the world if full of people who make creativity and expression the passion of their lives! Thanks!

[@KamuiCosplay]

We also have videos for airbrush instructions :)

Take notes kids: invest in boxes!

[@antidexterous3902]

Seconded. Containers are a joy unto themselves.

[@darth_raptor]

"Whenever Svetlana cuts her foot off...again" Cosplayer solidarity. It's not a complete project until you bleed on it.

[@briannapoulson7393]

Oh man true that.... I have this blanket my grandma made that she bled on..... still my favorite blanket

[@MxPotato84]

Bleeding on your cosplay makes it powerful.

[@jadedussureault3990]

Just to be clear; sewing table can NEVER be too large. 😂

[@janinave7729]

As a seamstress i can confirm

[@hedgehogs4424]

My wife would wholeheartedly support.

[@weschilton]

You are not wrong!

[@michellecornum5856]

You are correct.

[@nightmare_lix2322]

Thats why the floor sometimes is the best sewing table 😭😂

[@aaronreynolds8587]

Svetlana, I recieved my your Cosplay Lighting Books today! Fantastic! Just what I need! Well done and THANK YOU! Everyone should buy her books! Will not be disappointed with a quality or information!

[@KamuiCosplay]

That's lovely to hear thank you for the feedback! :D Hope the book helps!

[@CrankyPantss]

That’s a beautiful space full of a lot of fun stuff. You two are such an impressively talented and hardworking team. I’m glad that you guys are able to make a living by doing this because it means more impressive tutorials for us. Making the cosplay items is only half of it. These excellently filmed and edited videos are always a treat to watch. Well done, Benni.

[@KamuiCosplay]

Glad to hear you like it!

[@roselynmperezvalle8783]

Benni's moonwalk was the highlight of my day XD

[@KamuiCosplay]

he‘s a smooth criminal

[@Shelwyn1971]

My oldest son and I enjoy your videos. You've inspired both of us. He loves the tutorials on 3d printing and painting and I love the armor and prop making. And we both love the videos of you two and your corgis being your adorable selves.

[@zsofiordog2962]

Behind the scenes is always so interesting and inspiring, being a concept art/pencil sketch, a workshop, etc. I really love to see any kind of artists', where & how their magic happens. :))

[@Nononanette1]

I really hope that when Benni replies to the comments, he does so while wearing the Svetlana wig for inspiration and to fool us all

[@genevracollier]

I would love a vid about how long you spend on a typical build, how you structure your time, and how you schedule your year around the events you do! 🙏😄

[@ed.puckett]

So happy for Svetlana and Benni and the Corgis!!

[@RememberTheTrees]

Svetlana! I found a dress at the thrift store that looks like your black dresses with the white patterns except it's cats so I had to get it. Also thank you for this video, I love seeing other artist's workshops too! Benni's sly look into the mirror at 23:33 lol

[@michellecornum5856]

I've seen your costumes. I am floored when you say you aren't very good at sewing. But -- But -- I've seen things! Wonderful things! You have got the ultimate workshop -- sewing room goals!! YAY! Stay well!

[@HypnotronV2]

I can't tell, but I get the sneaky suspicion Kamui likes box's

[@catherineleslie-faye4302]

This is a dream studio... some day I may have one like it. I have been costuming for 40 years.

[@russrath3]

You both are so nice, always upbeat. I don't do cosplay, but you are so fun to watch. It's a bright spot in my day when I see one of your videos. You always make me smile. Really loved your food crafting. 😁😁 That banana bread looked so yummy. Keep doing what you do so well.

[@davesykes1966]

Hi I've been following you since the beginning, even before I started making stuff. Your talent is incredible.I love your accent, your energy and the inspiration you share through it. And to top it all off you're a very beautiful woman. Thanks for taking the time to share your passion with the world.

[@garyguymon9857]

Its not difficult to imagine the chaos that would ensue without that level of organization

[@leiatohara1103]

Svetlana has been cosplaying...as long as I’ve been alive...wow

[@KamuiCosplay]

Yes I am old

[@TheFlauschig]

That just means you are young. Most things and people in the world have been around longer than you exist.

[@EliaCoppens]

Corgi squat ! Love the way you organized your place. A neat workshop helps to be creative, takes off mental clutter and helps the flow. Also thanks for showing the importance of work safety (paint box filter system, masks gloves etc, and ergonomy (important when you do so many hours of work in the same position). These things often lack in other (professional) workspaces. A great example and inspiration. 🙌Thanks for your polyvalent skills and sharing the background of your work. 👏👏

[@BLKW4RDR3M0N]

I absolutely love your entire process. Your videos are so well crafted and indepth with being too confusing for beginners. It's great how you both play to your strengths and handle certain parts of the process more directly. The surprise Benni moments are great too.

[@bluemustang5002]

I'm in the process of organizing my dining room into my designated crafting area over these next few days. I'm excited. I'm making paper maché clay, and I have a stock pile of crafting supplies that I've built up over the past two years. I knew I was moving, so I didn't craft, but purchased materials gradually. Moved, still unpacking, but I'm itchin to start crafting!

[@drazster]

Beni’s tax tirade was hilarious! What a great space! Wonderful

[@JodyGates]

Having materials on hand is the hugest thing about having your own shop space. If you can walk to the foam stack instead of visit the store, or worse... order from Amazon, is the foundation of fun crafting. (c:

[@KorgiMoonCosplay]

Boxes and books!! Benni’s joy for taxes🤣🤣 Corgi squad !! My 5 month old Corgi boy, Calcifer, Says “ Hi!” Svetlana telling you she believes in you: 💕☺️✨ *motivation health bar replenishes*

[@KamuiCosplay]

Benni has so much "joy" for taxes haha xD

[@renemartens5657]

Love the name Calcifer, Ghibli fan?

[@KorgiMoonCosplay]

@@renemartens5657 ohhhh yes! My cat is Totoro (he is a white and gray tuxedo with a crooked mustache, so it works hehehhe)

[@Razzy-sr4oq]

Sanding over the shop vac hose is a good idea. To make it more comfortable, just get a pipe clamp of the right size, and screw it onto the edge of your table, and tighten the clamp around the hose to hold it in place. That's how I do it when polishing jewelry and getting the scaling off the silver.

[@KamuiCosplay]

good tip thanks!

[@GTJay]

LMAO, the end, a last "buy my books" plug! 😆 Thanks for sharing, you two! I love the energy and Benni's teasing. Thank ya'll for sharing your space!

[@Justrex01]

Corgi corgi corgi!!! Your shop is amazing. It makes my tiny bedroom crafting area look even smaller, but that's okay. I still make amazing stuff, too! Just not as much or as amazing as you. You guys are my heroes! Keep making videos and making amazing stuff!

[@toffythewitch]

I actually hate ads in videos but the way kamui is pomoting her books over and over again I can't get mad at it. even if she would do a whole video just about them xD

[@KamuiCosplay]

phew 😅

[@toffythewitch]

@@KamuiCosplay I mean you made my sister buy them ;) so it must be good advertisement

[@Haruckio]

One day...one day I'll have my own workshop like this! Also you guys are like the dream team for Cosplay making 😁

[@JLWorkshops]

26:20 Benni officially has the smoothest & coolest video intro - EVER!!!!

[@xobotun_]

I actually liked more him in the mirror at 23:33. :D But that was the smoothest moonwalk! :D

[@jeffreycashen6416]

I loved the tour, it is always good to be able to see where the costumes are made. Awesome as hell. I just wish i could afford to make something like that, it's the funds that are not exactly happening. So i just watch someone else have all the fun. I am in Australia, have stage 4 lung cancer (which has travelled to my brain). So i am just going to learn the LED lighting part and make do with that. It's always good to see that someone else can enjoy what they love to do, keep up the lovely work.

[@meelamiela]

I love having those clear storage boxes with many compartments, always so helpful!

[@Kanra2981]

Love seeing you and benni together in the videos showing us your work areas!!

[@ElizaArika]

A metal cookie box that's filled with actual cookies and not sewing tools? What is this sorcery?!

[@MxPotato84]

I know, right!!

[@annamaria6597]

Oh gosh why are you so adorable!? I love the excitement of showing off the workshop. Your workshop organization basically inspired the way I organize my workshop. It is glorious!

[@EsmayLiebke]

Corgi Sploot is all I need in life Also Kamui's books

[@karemconemedemiau5035]

Son magia pura los dos juntos! Que gran equipo! Que buena vibra! Inmensamente gracias por ser tan detallistas en la explicación del área de trabajo, y su nivel de organización es impresionante! Gracias por creer también en nosotros sin conocernos. Son lo máximo

[@stevenbradley6243]

Thank you sooo much Svetlana and Benni and the Corgis

[@LRCR]

That is a Great Tour 😊 I Very much enjoyed seeing both of you Crafting together and having Fun with each other ✌️🤠👍🌟🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friends

[@kelseyshell3391]

You know, it’s hard to tell but I think she likes boxes. 😄

[@kayomay]

970 square feet is bigger than my studio apartment! And yet somehow I still make cosplay within my tiny space 😅 hopefully I can have as much space as ya'll one day!

[@srfs4life962]

Thank you so much for taking us through your work space! From the corgis to the boxes, this is literally my dream😍

[@leonply]

It is always great good fun to see Svetlana and Benni. Dankuwel! CORGI!

[@jonlava173]

Your workshop is filled with so many cool stuff, so large and spacious. Best of all, it has two cuddly, corgis plushies Zelda and Midna!

[@laurasaurus7399]

It's so big and organized, I love it. I would love to have half as many boxes, tables and shelves as you do!

[@penshefirehyd1101]

Thank you for the tour! You two have done a great job pulling all the components together! Corgi!

[@TsurenaiYoru]

Such a nice set up, you two must have worked really hard on it and it shows. Boxes for organization are amazing, you can never have too many

[@_DixonCider]

Please make more videos about the taxes. Riveting! Also, you can use your vinyl printer to print out patterns to use as masking tape. Like for your honeycomb boob armor. I used to craft with vinyl sticker paper all the time. Works great for crisp lines and complex patterns.

[@GL64]

I am not into cosplay and have no idea why this showed up in my recommendations but hot damn I loved it. The work you do is amazing. My mind is blown.

[@WarpStar95]

I was really looking forward to seeing how your organize your wigs, because I'm looking for a new solution but you store them the same as me LOL

[@Nienna_Asyare]

This is honestly such an amazing workshop! If my eyes could drool from seeing something this cool, they definitely would!

[@cats.and.fairydust]

Ich finde es mega sympathisch, dass ihr keine Hausschuhe tragt. 😅

[@helenaoliinyk2646]

"I love boxes" － PERFECT! I LOVE boxes too!!! All my seving furniture and instruments also organised in BOXES... Aah i'm in love. You are cool Svetlana

[@alkunworkshop]

Such great work space! I love boxes too, they make things easy to find, and look neat, also make cleaning easier too~ the way you hang fabric scrubs outside the box is such great idea!

[@rachelward2559]

YAAY corgis!! And we got to see Benni!! YAAYYYY Benni! Great video!

[@raywhatsthisfor1283]

I love your enthusiasm for your storage boxes!! Benni also.. does a great job with all the building he does..and everything else.(filming) Thanks for the video!!

[@brandonparraakg948]

90m²? That's bigger than my house

[@BartZeroSix]

TFW you are a family of 4 in 50m² ._. I wish "working hard" was paying more.

[@printedprops8730]

And I don't even have a house :/

[@aenor190]

I'm in a 40m² appartment (shared with a roomate), and my "workshop" is my room, and my room is... 6,50m² :D Storage with boxes helps me being able to reach my bed.

[@yomogami4561]

i was thinking the same. maybe put bed in garage?

[@brandonparraakg948]

​@@aenor190 I also use my room as workshop and have a lot of boxes too, I think I need more now

[@niennath]

I really enjoy all of your videos! Take as much time as you need for your cosplays, without cons, it's really hard sometimes to find motivation.

[@genevracollier]

Good grief, you’re living my best life 😅 Thank you so much for sharing the resources you’ve built through 17 years of dedicated work. This was super inspiring and clarifying for me. Also, CORGI 💕

[@thelmabirt7626]

Your book was my intro to Cosplay!! LOVED IT!!

[@Morgawse_Cosplay]

Ahhhh your workshop is so inspirational, I love this kind of video! I'm lucky to have a room dedicated to crafting, it's not 90m2 but about 12m2, yet it has a lot of boxes in it, I'm sure Svetlana would love it!

[@jeffreyknutson]

I love you two. You are very natural on camera, and very funny! Thank you.

[@dodger0101]

Love your videos! Printer info - Letter is a US standard - 8.5 inches by 11 inches so Double Letter (A3) is 17 inches by 22 inches, sometimes referred to as Tabloid.

[@Tomyotan]

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you are new to prop making a dremel is your best friend. A palm sander, jig saw power tool, and a heated foam cutter are also useful if say your making insulation foam props but a dremel still takes the cake for the most useful. It took me years to learn that buying a tool is worth it for the save of time and strain you put on yourself. Also wear gloves when you think you could potentially hurt yourself.

[@oddjobkia]

Here in Wales legend has it that Fairies rode to war on the back off Corgi's

[@granander]

Your space look fantastic! There are some super helpful tips in the there. I will steal the idea with fabric samples on the outside of the boxes. Thank you for sharing!

[@tigerleearts1290]

This is my first year working with Eva foam so I am working on costumes in my very small living room. But some day will have a nice little work shop.

[@mohammadaminghanavati4344]

Thanks for sharing your workshop tour with us, I understand that materials, tools and other stuffs cost you very very much, but you built a massive factory not a workshop. I learned more and more from you and your experiences. I hope that someday I can come to Germany and visit your factory and talk with you and share our experiences together. until then. good luck and be safe

[@pkmtrainer_chika5408]

I like to see other creator's spaces to get ideas on how to use the space. I am excited s I will be moving from a 145sq space to a 245sq space and I want to make the most of it. Your space is huge! And very similar to the layout I have in mind.

[@ulaknap3239]

I hear ya on the BOXES front. Like, you can never have too many. You can never have more boxes than things to put in them. And if you do, it's the Emergency Box Of Shame that you can hide things in when you have 5 mins to clean.

[@TSSouza85]

Pretty cool workshop. I loved the paint booth idea.

[@kristacohen8210]

Beautiful workshop! I especially love how much light you get.
