First is this rare commission from me of a blue version of my "Peaseblossom Jumperskirt" .


lots and lots of blue chiffon.


Close up of applique and hand beading.  Chiffon roses are attached to pin backs and are removable.


Matching headdress and rose pins.  

Next; I have been working on altering some of my dresses to better my current style and current me =)

Polkadot jsk 1

Original.  I remade the bodice and added a side pocket and removable bows.


Fun with coordination


Polkadot jsk 2
 
Original.  Again I remade the bodice, and added some lace.


I had to edit it alot, but this photo is true to color.

I was able to finish it in time to enter the "Rockin Retro" contest on EGL.  Regrettably I lost the lime green roses vintage hat I planned on wearing with it; so I had to quickly whip up a replacement.  I think it turned out well.

  
Made with thick floral wire, silk flowers and leaves, pipe cleaners (in place of the velvet ribbon I didn't have) tulle, and clear rhinestones.

"Rose Maiden" dress

 
Original.  I again replaced the bodice but kept the collar, added butterfly sleeves, and added some fullness to the skirt



Now to the completly new peices:

"Forest of the Unicorn" example skirt

Example skirt for my upcoming line, jsk and accessories are in progress.

I have also been making some accessories to break things up a bit.

Some things in time for halloween:


A batwing collar

An overexposed raven

Some more classic peices:


Bonnet and flower comb


Strawberry two way clip

and lots and lots of rabbits.  I've heard they are like that!

 
 

Thank you for looking, and I hope you enjoyed it even a smidgen as much as I enjoyed  making them.
