They're making a horror version of the film "The Red Shoes." Looks kinda crap.

Using the pattern from my first portrait. I'm going to try and use photoshop on it later but thought I'd post it as it is for now.

Alternate colored version.

A piece I did some time awhile ago, it's a drawing of a painting I'm working on currently. :)

I have the PSD file if anyone wants that to make coloring easier.

Here's hoping there's no NOT in your day! Happy Valentine's Day my fellow RECorders!!

Photograph...Dress sewn by me

Thanks for your comments and REcommendations!!! I love you, guys!

Or how do you visualize this in color?

Final project that took an arm & a leg to get back from a previous professor of mine....one who is not the brightest crayon in the box let's just say.

dozen herringbone costumes

mostly vintage buttons (a hitRECord pin snuck it's way on there too, as did several buttons of hR symbols I made out of shrink plastic, and the big circle is several layers of sheer red fabrics I sewed together). I also designed and sewed the skirt (stretchy corduroy).

The pics were taken by my friend deb, who I am trying to get to join hR:)

I dapple in design in what little free time I have, and this is the first dress I have made. I'm not all that great at sewing, so the entire thing is made out of paper (mostly newspaper), that way I could glue everything together. There is an upside-down picture of a cat on the butt that I love and find really quirky (you can't see it in this picture). If anyone can use this, be my guest, I just wanted to share because I'm really proud of it! <3

P.S. It can be worn! There is a zipper on the side, and I made it to fit one of my friends so she can model for me

It's Autumn now and the snow is on it's way, but remembering the day we took this picture warms my heart so much that the cold simply drifts away.

Fashionable people are quite the characters.

I think if was subconsciously thinking of Lexi (Paintyhands) when I drew this although it's really more of an of a generalized fashion sketch, but the hat was influenced from someone's photo I saw.

costume sketch

This lovely little bit or writing reminded me of one of my little drawings. This is such a lovely idea.

mixed media, acrylic paint on canvas with sewing pattern tissue paper + photoshop.

Original acrylic painting on whatman paper by manana11.

Stay tuned for a photo shoot which will feature this dress and a "Shadow" grafftiti wall inspired by the photos from the London show. It might be awhile until then hope you all like this layout.  Dress sewn from a 1954 pattern with circles stitched on and text is a work in progress.

I drew this actress because she inspired me for a character in my book... that's why I put the pic to Xanlee's collab ;)

I took in the sleeves, added red cinch accent on the shoulders, scooped out the neck line and added red ruffle accent.

The original scan didn't show the luster... So here's a picture from my iPhone

Colored Pencil Drawing

How could Little Red resist?

painted and touched up in photoshop.

what I used was acrylic paint. finished it about 3 months ago.

dodgily scanned from my textiles folio

Falda cusqueña; traditional skirt made in Cuzco.  Should become a regular wardrobe staple.

This is the jacket that goes with the dress.  I made this using my machine because the lace fabric was so heavy hand sewing wouldn't have held it together! I think it turned out wonderfully!

Lost in toughts...

This is a Pen drwing i did of "the lonely Dress" by Monika Dekowska.

I played around with photoshop... :P

Something I would wear I was going. And if the gown existed beyond the paper, of course ;)

A tux - inspired outfit with the red button theme ;)

Okay, so one day I'll figure out the best size of the pictures to post here so that they don't get enormously stretched, I promise I will!

A draft.

Acrylic and pencil on whatman paper. My contribution into spring collection.

Funny how it smarts.

My evening in red

 Started just as a joke

With red paper hearts

 And many love notes

The world

As it seemed

 Was

"Ever so nice"

Until I

 Soon found

 It's vice

I have more shots of this style if anyone is interested, but for now, just uploading a few :o)

This is a photo shoot I did over summer based on current trends in the fashion world.  Florals are always in during spring/summer and my stylist went all out making the collars herself!

I've had a great response for this work, there is a full series which I do hope to one day turn into a book (when I have the money)

 Old costume design from university..costume design for character Lady MacBeth

This project was based upon the mysterious internal clock of the gregarious species of bamboo. This variety of bamboo has an elusive blossoming pattern, that varies between every twenty to hundred and twenty years. A bamboo with the same "mother" or origin plant as another bamboo will both flower at the same time, despite differing environmental factors. So this is to say, a bamboo plant in London will blossom 48 years down the road at the exact same interval as one in China. While bamboo is one of the fastest growing resources, when it blossoms, it dies rather abruptly because its lifespan is so unforseeable. While in this process the bamboo gnerally creates a fertile seed, the dropped seedling matter attracts rodents. Thus, when a bamboo plant starts to flower it generally seen as a bad omen. 

I attempted to generalize and represent this event with unfurling pods distributed at different areas of the dress. There are sister pods amongst them, where their full growth extension is a clone of one another but come to a halt once a seed is produced. These pods can then be unraveled and bunched back into the pockets, displaying this continuous cycle.

I crocheted the whole dress without any patterns to follow/first time using a dress form/I made it in about a week, so pardon any construction mistakes!

The first time I met my good friend, Leo.  We both entered the costume contest on our company's year-end party last December 2010.  Guess what?  I won Most Unique, because I was the only one wearing this dress among the rest ^^  Now I do know how tiring it is to pose and smile for the cameras.  Instant celebrity that night..urgh.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this photo with you guys.  We were just thrilled on how the photographer loved our spontaneous poses, and alas, here's one of the results.
