Updates? YES!

Hello!

I have been loading all of my stuff into a new space, so sorry I haven't been on for a while. I am moving from my bedroom to the garage. It is a mess right now but it is all coming together nicely.


Overall view


Hey theres that fabric for my costume! (Read below)


My little organizer for my small things like spikes, eyelets, gears, ext.


Here are a few of my drawers that I had to buy PLENTY of from a container store. I have so much thread it needed its own drawer!!


Yes, I have so much fabric it completely filled out 7+ drawers! It will all help for college though!


Now. . . if I can only organize. . . the rest of this stuff
^ ^;

Ok well, I had a project or two that I recently finished
One is a corset made with a light, thin velved with a gold busk and golded rivets and D-Rings. Photos coming some time :p But here is a drawing of what it is.
 I recently learned how to use rivets with a corset and I am looking forward to continue my practice with them. But for my first time using them, I think I did a decent job. I mean, some are really crappy looking, but still a good first attempt. Again, I will post some photos. . . sometime.

Here is a project I recently started:

It is a cosplay of the My Little Pony character "Queen of the Changelings"
or also known as "Chrysalis"


Here is the character incase you don't watch MLP:FIM



I have already bought, maybe, 80% of the materials
-Skirt 5 yards of cotton from Joann's
- Fishnet shirts 5 yards black fishnet from Etsy and 4 yards green fishnet from Fabrics World, and damn it was hard to find!


- PVC bright green 1 1/2 yards for the corset and neck corset from Joann's
- Model Magic for the horn

I don't know how to do the wings quite yet. That will be the very last thing to do.

I have started the skirt already, but I am waiting for the fishnet to come in so I can layer the whole thing together. What I can do at the moment is burn the edges >:3

In other news!

I was invited by a group called RAW: Natural Born Artists to do a fashion show to showcase my talents!

They are a group that recognizes young, local artists (based on where you live, at least) and give them the chance to show off. This way, you can become recognized by whoever is coming to the show. I was told that a woman who works for a fashion magazine always shows up to the art show I would be presenting in. I wish I could remember which one :l

I am very HAPPY that I was invited to this! I am very skeptical as to how I'm going to go about it, but I would really like to be apart of their program. I can be featured on their page and everything!

I have plans on what I can make them too, but I won't tell about it quite yet

;p

Thats really it for now

Cosplay Time!

One of the many future projects added to my list 

Miki from Shugo Chara


This is for a friend I met a few years ago at MTAC
I believe it was 2009
She found me on youtube and our friendship started from there

I'm really excited to be making this for her
I don't make a whole lot of cosplay
Just cause I only go to one con every year (thats all I really have time for)
But this is even better cause I'm getting paid
$.$

But that's not the soul reason to be doing this
This is like my own personal challenge

To make a custom costume for a person that is not myself
What I plan to do is 
-Make or alter patterns
-Produce mock ups
-Set up arrangements/meetings
-Alter again, if needed
-Make again in the real materials needed
-Do anther meeting
-Alter garments if needed
-FINISH IT BEFORE . . . the 20th?

OH GOD I HOPE I CAN FINISH BEFORE THE REALLY BIG PROJECTS GET STARTED!
But thank the LORD that this is a really simple project for me
Just look at it!
It's just a button up shirt, a black vest, and a pair of dark blue knickers!
I have patterns for all of that!! (well I'm custom making the vest)

I think I can do it! 
THIS IS A CHALLENGE AFTER ALL!

XD

Someone pray for me

Gah I hate that show
