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

Updates and Delays

Oh time, 

I don't have enough of you. . .

-------------------

Wow . . . It has been more than a month since I have made a blog entry 

T^T

I'm pretty sad about it . . .

But here's what's up

Life seems to bring me many opportunities and many disappointments, especially now that I'm a senior in high school and also dealing with normal teen issues

Bleck!

What are the disappointments?

Well I haven't sewn anything amazing (or much of anything) in a month or so because of all the work loads I am trying to keep up with, and YES I'm talking about the evils of homework

I mean, I had a custom order come in. . . but it was only a wrist band order

And I made another Fluttershy hat that it had her cutie mark

. . . 

Maybe I should have posted that

Anyways, it was for a hat exchange with a friend

Other than that, nothing really significant has come off of my sewing machine

Once again, I cry in the corner

TT^TT

Another thing, I'm not sure if anyone reading this has read my post about a custom cosplay for a friend. 

Yeah. . . not ganna happen

I had to cancel due to all the work I have to do

It is a sad day because that could have gotten me $100 in my pocket

But I guess it is my fault for sort of procrastinating and delaying my schedule, just a tiny bit

Hell. . . idk

Opportunities?

Um . . . 

Well for one thing, I am now responsible of making costumes for my school theater play/movie that we are doing for the semester

(and it will be my last performance from 7th grade to now)

TT^TT

The shows are "Waiting for Godot" and "The Importance of Being Earnest"

Pictures of such will be posted, of course, but that will be in around March

But I'm SO GLAD that I get to sew soon! 

Because I haven't sewn in so long, I have had this DYING feeling that I will loose my motivation and creativity cause of all this GODDAMN WORK ahead of me. . .

I'm afraid that I will loose myself in just the guilt of WORK WORK WOOORK

I'm not sure how to explain it. . .

Just. . . fuck it

Also, a little news on the shop,

I recently went to a convention (SAM Con) at the local alternative cafe

named Cafe Coco

I was selling my hats, wrist bands, skirts, and whatever was waiting to be taken home

I only sold 2 lolita hats. . . 

It was a relatively small con anyways

. . .

Anyways, that's what life has been like for the past month

. . . 

Nyan?

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

Shugo Chara

Thanks for reading
