look what I found!

Bottleneck @ best Films on Campus

This is the short film i created costumes for, it was also part of my thesis for graduation.  I also did make up for the mother, minotaur, and the lady in the water.

This makes me happy to no end. Sadly I only have the single vertical repeat saved at full scale. WHOOPS.  But it's all good because it will be less work to clean and colorize!

Once finished I'll have fabric printed to use for corset bags, linings and who knows what else!

Still cleaning it up but I think this should work much better for clothing tags and the like. Now if only I had the $4995 to buy HofC.com!

I've also drawn up some clip art and a really fab measurement guide image.  I plan on creating a wallpaper pattern using my logos and clip art that will become the background of my site. I'm leaning towards the colors of my office, robins eggs blue with dark espresso brown details.

So I've spent the afternoon looking over my website. It was my full intention to do some updates but I swear if I don't feel a need to just start over or something. Things just feel disorganized. If I categorized things better I think it would be easier for individuals to see my range of work.

I'm also loosing fondness for the term Steampunk. It's to much of a key word, and everyone that can glue a gear to an item wants to use it. Something in the lines of "Alternate History Couture" suits me much better. This can be it's own category.

I think I am going to loose the "Back Parlor" on the site and get rid of the whole drag section. break those up into formal wear and pageantry creative wear. I'll probably make that the "Show Room".

As much as I love all the smaller descriptive text under each of the categories, once you get past the main page it starts to look messy.

..Just lots of thoughts..

Any answers?

Thank goodness it's almost over!

Sure 2009 has been a pretty good year, there is no doubt it's been busy, it's time to get my tail in gear and really get myself out there this year. It's time to start saying NO on occasion. I should enjoy every project I do, not just most of them. Even so, it seems some clients can make the most joyous of projects a total BUST.

I've gotten my copy of Frontpage 2003 and it loads my old site just fine, YAY! I also picked up a copy of QuickSteps reference guide for it. Some might say it;s a step down from Dreamweaver, but it's legal, and OMG I can finally do forms on my own!

I'm going to try and get an update in by new years. But I may redo the whole deal again. I'm not quite sure. Although i like the format and playfulness I think I could work something out that may work better. It's just hard to put ALL my various works into one website that compliments everything.

I'm pleased and tired. A little miffed I wasn't able to get the scalloped trim done on the budget but I really didn't think 400+ inches of pleated fabric would take quite as long as it did. I wasn't very happy with my attempt at my double shell trim anyways. On the orignal dress the edges are rolled and zig zag stitched in black. But it just turned out looking really messy.

Maybe it's a technique that only really works with natural fibers.

Everything else turned out quite well. I really love the scalloped skirt edges withe the pleating coming out from beneath it.

I've "watched" the entire first season of The Duchess of Duke Street while working on this gown.

..I should head to bed but now my tummy is rumbling again.

I'm pleased as punch!
