presenting Tubeless

As some of you already know I have been working on a wearable art garment made of bicycle tubes.

I seem to always set myself such funky little projects, and rarely get to take good photo's of these things.

This time I had amazing help from a great photographer and a very stunning lady.

I still don't know if it will go into the art of fashion exhibit or runway but at least I have documentation of how it can look.

the bustier was a bit big in the cups but it added another little oddity to play with

I think the slightly fetish look of the tubes lent it self to a stronger look.

But she was also able to look very artisic

 Playing with shadows was also fun

The head piece gave it something else

 

and its always a good idea to bring a whip into something like this ;)

Soo much fun and a big thanks to David Woolley for taking the photos

and

Cécile Mimieux for modelling http://www.facebook.com/BurlesqueBallerina

now all we have to do is wait and see if I get into the urban couture.

until next time

Nearly there..... again?!?!

So its nearly the end of December and I have finished work (day job) for the year but there is still stuff to make.

I have my garment Tubeless, that I have a photo shoot with in early January.

There is my corsets that need completing, and of course the large amount of unfinished stuff in my sewing room.

I will make this my mission to one day have most of the stuff done.

I know it will be a huge year next year, I already have two dresses I know I will be making one is a wedding dress. (yes I don't quite believe I said yes to making another one of them, but I am thinking positive that this one will be the one that makes it worth it.)

And I know there will be more coming, I have already had inquiries for some other work.

But this years recap? well I pretty much didn't know what was going to happen in 2012.
I knew I had to stick around where I am until my partner was ready to move.
So I started the year off with landing a pretty wicked job in my field, with some interesting people and as I learned very funny people too. :)

I must say I learned this year from work.

There was Tutu's for men and women,

Super hero Porn stars ( I will never forget these costumes and the many versions we made )

And naturally the feathery goodness that was the dying swan, that I got to take a lot of it home with me in the evening.

There are many more, and many I can't show.

The great thing was that I got to go on a holiday to show my partner where I grew up.

I always go and remember all the fun things we used to do, and although most of the people I knew I am no longer in contact with it is great to be able to stand at altitude again and breath that mountain air.

its always heartbreaking to leave.

With any luck I will be able to find work and return.

I have been pretty slack with posting and finishing projects outside of work, and I hope to remedy this for next year. I hope I can persist and be consistent.

Only time will tell.

Have a great Christmas and enjoy your new year

Surprise wedding dress designing

So my Boyfriend decided to propose last week and I said yes,

so he now is my Fiance ( still getting used to this).

But with this comes a wedding, and there fore a wedding dress.....

I have to be honest I have never thought about wearing a wedding dress or even designing one for myself.

So I did a bit of a search on pinterest and etsy, many interesting things came up all of them cream white or silver. All colours I am not keen on wearing.

This then was my first decision I am not wearing white.

Then I decided since we wont be having a big wedding I shouldn't have a puffy, gypsy style wedding dress.

And then I realized I love a nice bias cut dress, and so we have now a shape style and some resemblance of what colour I do not want.

So it really isn't has hard as I thought it would be.

Well at least up until now ;)

 here is what I have found I like, possibly in emerald green or red.

 This red one is just beautiful and I would be able to wear it again some other time

 I like the lace of this one

 I think this one its more the curves of the model that I enjoy

 So far I love this, I would like to change the razor back on the mesh but otherwise I enjoy it very much

And this is the front and it could look great in emerald green.

so I will have to let all this settle and make someone else's wedding dress for their wedding next year before I can find someone close to me to make mine.

But I shall keep you updated with my shenanigans
