Yes, that is my face. I know, creepy right? So the assignment this day was to follow a design that’s been charted out. Each of us got the same picture but at the end we were supposed to see how we each did it a little differently. I personally saw how creepy we all looked made up like bunnies! haha But it was a fun day. <3

Blood and guts day! The first is a sort of decomposing/zombie look. The eye area was done with skin latex and cotton balls, and the skin was skin latex over tissues. Then colored with stage makeup! The second picture is sort of a mangled, infected grossness. It was done with food coloring and gelatin. It was pretty gross and smelled awful! Both were fun to do, but hurt soooo bad to take off! <3

Makeup done for Cabaret, a couple months ago at school.

So this semester I’ve been taking Stage Makeup so in addition to my sewing projects I’m gonna start posting the different things I’ve learned to do in this class, starting with old age makeup! Here’s two pics of me practicing, on my boyfriend and my friend Ken. They were so nice to sit still long enough haha <3

Jitterbug wings I’m working on for Fullerton Civic Light Opera. Love these fabrics, they’re sooo pretty! <3

Edges of my bonnet finished off! <3

More bonnet pics! I love how sweet the sheer floral fabric looks over the green! <3

Working on a bonnet in class. This straw is not super easy to work with, and you hafta keep sewing it in layers to itself, but I like how it’s coming along and the fabric is super pretty! Can’t wait to finish it! <3

Finished project! This is my teens era corset, completely finished so hopefully soon I will be making some Downton Abbey-esque costumes!

Finished this corset about a week ago, just trying to get all the pics of it posted! I actually started work on my next corset last night in class so pics of that coming soon! Anywho, here’s the grommets in the back of the corset to lace it up. <3

All sewn up and finished! Hemmed, zippered and ready to go. I’ve worn it a few times and I love it! It’s nice and light and breezy for this warm weather. I’ll hafta get someone to take a pic of me in it! Hafta figure out what my next project is gonna be! <3

Back attached to the front and lining attached to dress now! Just needs its zipper and hemming and it’s done! <3

Added on the front lower skirt, and the front upper bodice pieces! The lining is basically the same, but out of white cotton. I’m not bothering to take pictures of the lining by itself. Man, the amount of pleating in this pattern is crazy, but I’m really liking how it’s turning out! <3

While I wait to get more corset photos, I’ll start updating about a dress I’m working on! I’m super excited about this project, cause it’s the first item I’ve made in a long while that isn’t for an assignment, or a convention, or for someone else. This is just for me, cause I had this fabric lying around, and I wanted a new dress :) This is a photo of the first stage, so it doesn’t look like much of anything since it’s only part of the front. It’ll make more sense as I get farther along! And I included a pic of the fabric up close so you can see the fabric is a little sheer so it’ll be lined in white, and the stripes are so pretty, cause they are shiny! <3

Center front attached to sides, with busk closed! Just needs its grommets in the back, the boning inserted, and the top and bottom finished off and it’s done!
