I've been unfaithful to this blog

and I discovered my love for tumblr. Though that is really no excuse to totally ignore my blog spot, literally since after the fashion show!
Not much has been happening, I've been getting my studio organized and decorated, and I work full time at Lovely Betty Consignment Boutique and I've been loving it there.
I'm moving into the cute apartment on the side of Lovely Betty house, and once I am settled it should be easier to get busy in my studio once its in the same house that I live in :p

I'll post another entry later, maybe with some photos of my studio space in its progress (still need a few finishing touches!

The Fashion Show

went so well. I am so happy with how everything turned out. Hair, make up and styling also went perfectly!

Enter Escapism

Yay my window display at Owls Nest :)

reeeeading raaaaaiinbow!

So before the fashion show all the girls have to display one outfit in a store window downtown. I chose to display at Owls Nest Book store on Queen street.
I decided to make a prop piece to go in behind my outfit, and here it is, a reading rainbow!!! :)

tea stains and silk screens

here is an example of 2 different techniques I worked into my line.

I took some of my old poetry (8 years old actually) and made it into a silk screen print. I got my classmate Lise to hand write the original print because her penmanship is much better then mine. I then took those patches of fabric and gave them a tea bath, as well as another fabric I am using in my line.

since this image I dyed them all one more time for a slightly darker colour than this!

here is another sneak peek

of a piece from my line.
This can be worn as a skirt by a fearless warrior women leading all she knows and loves to safety, or as an awesome accessory over your pants....or no pants, you can decide. ;D

and to show the corseted side!

(click and they grow a bit!!!!)

yay feathers and map fabrics!!!!

I'm not showing any more actual garments until the show...I'm probably going to post a few more progress pics though!

a sneak peek

I really don't feel overly comfortable sharing much of my actual pieces for my line, sketch or garment wise, until my clothing has walked the run way in April.

but I thought I'd post a picture of a couple of my bracelets I've been making for the line, because I'm just not that mean!
;)



I will be doing a photo shoot tomorrow night with another even more awesome accessory I completed for my line, perhaps I'll share that too!

also, here is the song my models are going down the runway too.
