Oh, this is so HAAAARD! I'm without internet for app. three weeks, because the people I'm renting the apartment from is switching systems. Luckilly I can use the computer at work a little, but I'm so used to check and do everything online (buy stuff, pay my bills, find names, numbers and info....), and I usually to it in the evenings. I'm so ( Read more... )

So... a post about costumes, for a change..... I haven't really done much costume work lately; I don't really know why. Haven't had the inspiration, I guess. But yesterday I dug out the Hannibal bodice and did some minor stuff. I've adjusted the panels so that it fits nicely over the bust.

I haven't updated in quite a few days. But the reason is that I haven't DONE very much the last couple of days.... So there really has been no reason to update ( Read more... )

I've been working quite a bit on the Elissa outfit (from Phantom) lately. Unfortuneately, it is barely visible, as the work exists of decorating five equal "spears" hanging down from the skirt, and even though I can be sitting there for hours, I can barely see the difference myself. Basically I'm adding trims and sequences. I do feel, though, that ( Read more... )
