Have I been over ambitious?

I dont know?! Looking at the timescale to complete this project its very worrying. Anyways at least today was another productive day. Pattern complete I maked out and made the toile for my corset which I am rather pleased with even if I do say so myself. Pics to follow

Swiftly moving along!

Wow! Can you tell this is an important project for me - I've got my necklace finished, sat and did 39 corset designs in one night and drafted my final design and corset pattern - all since Sunday!

I felt I had to create something simple for the necklace but wanted it to look deceptively complicated, it also had to be a showstopper. Running with the black 'n' blue theme with crystal, this is what I came up with, more of a choker than a necklace but its all good :p

UFO for now

Well I know I havent been around for a while but thats because things have just been so darn hectic with college. Unfortunately the dress I was working on has had to be put on the back burner for now as I HAVE to concentrate on my Final Major Project. On the plus side my course review shows that I'm passing at a merit standard at the moment and my Uni interview went really well.

Anyways enough babbling, lets move on to the FMP - I was trying not to be overly ambitious with the timeframe I have (it has to be in with all the display work in 4 weeks time!) but, well, you know me lol. I decided my theme was to make a burlesque outfit so I have a corset, skirt and necklace to make! Initially my inspiration was a pale blue and pearl Faberge egg I had found but I've kinda gone off that colour theme and am thinking more turquoise, AB crystal and black.


When I have a moment I'll scan in some of my sketchwork and the design for the necklace I'm working on but at the moment its a case of back to the beading.

Check back for updates soon, this is an important one for me so I'll be recording as much as possible!
