As of 11pm last night I am DONE with all my commissions for the annual vampire ball! Hurray!

I'll post pics of the other stuff next week after the ball takes place, but this one I snapped a few shots of before the buyer can come pick it up.

I'd like you to meet the most precarious dress I have EVER made. Seriously, it's held together by string and a ( Read more... )

Things of doing:

I'm making pretties for The Portland Vampire Ball for 4 people:

-A black victorian mourning style dress

Robert got to sneak a peek at the latest proofs for the next book in the Unhallowed Metropolis series. It will be released in the Spring and I'm so excited to see how it turns out. Several of the shoots were outfitted with Dark Industry clothing, and feature several of my closest friends/models. There will be quite a few illustrations in there from ( Read more... )

So, the torch (or manila folder, as it were) has been passed onto yours truly for the once popular Gothique fashion show.

It's a little bit out of the way, but that's what public transport is for, right? Cabs are cheap too, if you can score a card with the address you need written in Chinese. P.S. Grow some balls. You left your hotel room last trip ( Read more... )

Here's a taste of the show. I should be getting more photos rolling in and others can also be found on my myspace

La Mode Macabre went splendidly after much fretting and hand wringing

Thank you's!!

I'm so mad I didn't do a "before" shot of this coat, because man, I bought the ugliest women's leather coat with raglan sleeves and excessively large shoulderpads from Goodwill for $10. This was all so I wouldn't have to buy fresh leather from the leather store to make a coat that would probably only be worn for runway and photos.
