Sewing Reconstruction: 1 and various Creative Projects
[Sewing Reconstruction 1]
So, that red fabric I posted before. It is complete~ Rush job, I am really lazy when it comes to cheap fabric.. Myeh. Ends up that there wasn't enough fabric to make it as poofy as I wanted it to be, but alas, I went through with it. Always, during sewing, I think "hey, I could do THIS" and add another 2 hours' work onto what could have almost been finished... lol. I don't mind it, I am definitely wanting to get the re-released AP socks (lace up, triple bow) in red to match this I suppose.
This...................... Turns into this!
Close-up of bow; Close up of skirt; skirt detail
I totally want a mini-straw hat to attach bows to :3
Yay. So now that's done, I can move onto my bxw striped skirt doodad. Jackie suggested a double-ruffle thingy reminiscent of MM. I want to buy some flower lace or something to match. Man, how awesome would like.. a string of music notes as lace/appliques be? Really tiny. Maybe on staff lines. Ahh <3
Speaking of music, at work next to the head pastry chef's master piece of a castle, were all these violin shapes in pastillage. So cool. I should try and get a photo of it somehow, though I think I'm away when the function is on! Damn. Violin cake and castle cake is win!! The castle cake is for Andrea Rieu's performance + VIPs coming up and they get it for free! Damn celebrities.
mX got back to me, asked me a few questions and said they'd publish this week hopefully. How am I going to get a copy!? Blahhh.
I'm going to be afk-ish for three days, because I finally get to see Dene <3 Last time I saw him was halloween -_-" He still has an exam this friday, poor thing.
Guitar Hero WT is coming out. Yesssssssssss. Me and Trent and maybe Dene will be playin' up a storm. Very happy. Not sure what I'm going to do when Game rings up and asks if I still want me Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition.... So broke right now. I should assault them and demand my christmas casual job again. Yes, yes good idea.
Oh ho ho. Mum wanted to buy some makeups/shoes today. So I also got shoes to replace my two pairs of totalled black ballet flats - black ballet flats with peep toe and bows - HANG ON I HAVE HIGH HEELS LIKE THAT. Oops. ;D I love shoes.

Really pyscho right now. Like, commissions! There's a work christmas party (masquerade theme) and a chef has asked me to make him a mask like the ones in Sweeney Todd. And I'd have to make my own mask to match my formal dress that I'll wear xD I'm thinking a raven-like thing. Beak. Huge black feathers. How much do feathers go for at spotlight now? Bigass, shiny black ones. Expensive I bet. I can has discount, rori friends? xD
My other friend asked me to make a prototype helmet out of clay for his cosplay, so he can make a mold from it and use a vac machine/fill with plastic. Cooooooooool. I love sculpting.
And then I still have to sew all this crap. And do the film with my uni buddies. I said I'd do art department and costume design, but I might be cheap and say "here wear this red skirt" lololol >_> It would work actually..
