Catching Up

So I finally have a few minutes before I have to crack on, the pictures I've promised recently!

Firstly I'm not sure if I ever wrote about going to The Invisible Circus' day of the dead event a few weeks back. We had the option of painted faces or masks and I really didn't relish the idea of getting on a bus in Bristol with a painted face so:

Mine is the beauty on the left, based on the work of Sylvia Ji, although nowhere near as good of course!

So next up, the lovely pleated fabric for my SP work:

excuse the brown lines, I was just marking out the edges before I took the plunge and cut them!



And finally, bad Alice is finished!

Excuse the bombsite that is my room right here!

Anyways, with a broken sewing machine I must crack on!

The Alice commision from my last post? This is the line drawing for it, and it needs to be finished by Friday...long week ahead methinks!

Round up of the last couple of weeks

I have been neglecting you little bloggy and for that I am sorry!

So the last week or so I have been mostly doing my SP costume (pictures soon, pleated fabric arrived today!) but there are a couple of other things going down!

I finished my Anne/Elizabeth toile. Its all ready for the fitting and then hopefully I'll be able to find some top fabric to start making it!

I got 'commisioned' to make a bad alice in wonderland outfit for my SP model...in 2 weeks! I've worked out the pattern now I just need to buy the fabric and get that bad boy made!

Today I got to work on a special someone's christmas present :D as well as making another where the wild things are type hat...which is exciting! pictures soon...it needs a little tweaking.

Also today I went and had my negotiated work from last term photographed. Looked great in the house so hopefully the pictures turn out well! And this evening I was in Poole for a performance of Moonfleet which I made a costume for last year. Was pretty unimpressed to see my first professional credit with my name spelt wrong, but on the plus side my costume was on stage the whole time! Very exciting for me! Also a super production, I would totally recommend it!
