Some examples of how the Resin Horns look worn. There are a variety of ways to style and wear Story Teller Horns!
Resin Horns
This is what Story Teller Cosplay is known for. With a variety of colors, shapes, and designs, there is something for everyone.
Oni Horns
The most popular shape, these horns have a diameter of about 1.5 inches at the base and the length is about 5.5 inches tall. These are worn using a clear elastic string. Typically worn on the forehead, the namesake of these horns derive from the Japanese demon known as an "Oni".
Succubae Horns
Story Teller's first ever horn shape, these have a diameter of about 1 7/8 inches at the base and 4 1/2 inches tall. It come as a kit with alligator hair clips. Best worn on a wig, since these horns are a bit hefty compared to the other styles.
Antlers
One of Story Teller's most anticipated horn shapes, these antlers are a show stopper for sure. These antlers measure about 6-7" tall with a base about 0.75" wide. These are mounted on a thin headband using wire so they can be adjusted to the wearer's preference.
Devil Horns
These were the first hand sculpted horns made by Story Teller. These small horns are about 2 1/2 inches tall with a 1 1/8 inch base. This style is small and light enough to be worn directly on the forehead with makeup adhesives such as spirit gum or pros-aide.
Demon Pearls
These baby horns are the smallest style of horns that Story Teller offers. These little nubs are about 7/8 inch tall with about an inch diameter in the base. This style is small and light enough to be worn directly on the forehead with makeup adhesives such as spirit gum or pros-aide.
Unicorn Horn
Commonly referred to as a "Unicorn" Horn, this is a spiral, cone shaped horn. This roughly measures 4 inches tall with about a 1 inch base. This delicate style is perfect for a magical and enchanted look.
Specialty Horns
These featured horns are considered "Specialty" Horns due to the complicated and more involved process it takes to make them. This can be anything that ranges from the molding process up to the special type of finishes.
The oni style horns here have been finished with high quality automative paints and additives.

The left two horns are specific horn shapes based off a Video game and an Anime. (The far left being Nioh and the one next to it is from Demon Slayer)
These "Powerful" Horns are based off the character Power from Chainsaw Man. I made it in the iconic red, a bloody swirl version, and a red chrome.
Small Props & Figures, etc
​
The images on the left are Kunai prop knives from my "Femme FAE-tales" prop weapon series. The concept focuses on items that are traditionally seen as "masculine" and giving them an ethereal, feminine touch. The are my own designs and concepts. These are great for cosplay as well as just beautiful display pieces.

The Figure above is from Ori and the Blind Forest, and the Figures on the left are 3 different types of Chaos from Sonic. Both of these are made from resin and collaboration project with Cute Monster Props.
Apparel
Combining her love of fashion and resin work, Story Teller has made the jump into apparel with these custom snap back hats. From the attached resin horn to the featured art on the brim, Sophia has a hand in evert aspect of the design.
This spirit board inspired hat is based off the spooky ouija board! The horns glow under black light and comes with a free planchette pin, also designed by me. The underside of the hat features a fun "Goodbye" text so as you lift your head, it shows it off.
"Horn-y on Main" shirt is designed after the "Serena" oni horns. I created my own original character based on these horns and commissioned an artist to design this shirt. The title is based on a pun involving horns.
Booth Concept & Set Up
Below are some photos that show previous booth set up as well a conceptual booth display. Using multi-functioning displays, Story Teller is able to design a booth that will adapt to the provided space.
The photos of this booth set up was from MomoCon 2022 using a 20x10 space, booth-sharing with Cute Monster Props. This space mostly utilizes table displays.
The photos of this booth set up was from Anime Weekend Atlanta 2021using a 10x10 space. This space mostly utilizes grid walls.
This is the conceptual booth design. Placement of items are not finalized but this will help to give a visual on the overall look. The horns will be mounted on the wall for better visibility. Blacklight will be on one side of the booth to highlight items that glow under blacklight. Mannequin heads and mirrors will help clientele to better visualize the accessories. The entire set up will be done in a way to best sell the items and give an overall nice and clean look.
