Project Update

Well I have been busy since the last post we did! I finished over 22 goddess dolls which are up on our website. The Items that expired on Etsy have been moved to our website.

I made a custom Altar cloth with the symbol of Poseidon/Neptune in the center.

I am currently working on 5 major costuming pieces.
The first one is for my hubby, he has been a long time fan of Drizzt from D&D (Dungeons and Dragons table top rp game). Drizzt is a Dark elf who left the Under Dark and its ways. He is now a Ranger and has fallen in love with a human woman. His story is in depth and long but very intreasting. The major factor that the hubby really likes is the two scimitar swards Drizzit wields, Fire and Ice.
So I am taking this artist rendering and creating the clothing for him.

I have finished the sewing of the pants, shirt, and jacket which has 52 grommets! I still have the hooded mantle cloak to create. The armor parts I am leaving up to the hubby to make. As for the decretive jewel like pieces I have yet to comprise a plan on how to make them. But I am leaning towards the acrylic risen and using a oval mold. I might sculpt something out of clay and make my own molds. Its a thought in progress.

Another outfit I have been working on is my daughters. She is really into the Brave movie and Merida so I have created her an outfit and its nearly finished. I just need more ties and work on the under dress. Hubby is working on her quiver, which is nearly finished.

I have cut out two mediaeval dresses one is black with red inserts on the skirt, the other is red with black inserts. I am just waiting for my lining fabric to come in so I can start sewing them. I have two awesome trims I will be using on them.

I am also currently working on a silver and blue dress. I am waiting for the boning to come in to finish it up,

I also have a red and black elven warrior maiden outfit waiting to be sewn. and the last project is for my son. I am making him a Link outfit. If it stays on then we got a winner! lol

I should have progress photos on everything very soon.

Winners and Small Update

Well the Winners were picked and there Goddess Dolls are in the post.  I have 2 Custom Orders I will be working on this week. A Cloak and an Alter Cloth. I have been working on the side on my Costuming Portfolio I hope to have a very well compiled works within a few weeks. I hope to be able to use it to apply for some work. I am wanting to be able to work on a creative project of some sort.  I Have also been thinking about submitting my fantasy writings to a publisher. I am a little reserved about the idea of someone reading my novels. I write as a therapy outlet but I think people would really enjoy them. Then again I might start publishing them in e-book format who knows.

What do you think?

We have picked 5 Winners! Look to this post to see if your name was mentioned! Winner Post

Rock Star Child Viking Hood

Over the break I have been working on a special project for my daughter. Its a viking style hood with lots of felt stars appliqued all over it. Since she desperately loves the guitar ever since she was 2 years old I decided to add a Guitar with wings onto the front. Not very period but I wanted to do something she would love. It has full of color and fits her personality.

Now to applique them on and finish up the hood. Finish Pics in a few days!
