Ich gebs zu, ich bin zu faul für einen Urlaubsbericht, ich hab nach 2 Wochen noch nicht mal alle Fotos auf den Rechner kopiert. Aber ich möchte allen die nach Berlin fahren die Modellbahnanlage am Alexanderplatz empfehlen. Ich bin ja eigentlich kein so riesiger Modellbahn-Fan, aber die Anlage ist sehr detailreich und liebevoll gestaltet. Die Gesundheitswoche in Graz war auch wunderschön und ich bin jetzt wieder motiviert etwas mehr für meinen Körper zu tun. Ich war daheim schon walken, im Fitnesscenter am Crosstrainer und ich hab brav meine Wirbelsäulengymnastik gemacht. ( Und hier ein paar Bilder von meinem Reigen-Outfit :) ) Der Reigen war im Großen und Ganzen toll, auch wenn ich am Anfang die Musik ziemlich nervig gefunden hab, ich halt weder Hardcore-Bumbum-Techno aus, noch bin ich im richtigen Alter für Metal-Gegrunze. *sudder* Aber später ist die Musik echt nett geworden und ich bin ordentlich verschwitzt vom Tanzen heimgewandert. Es war auch schön, wieder mal ein paar Leute zu treffen, die ich nicht oft sehe. ( Und hier noch ein detailierteres Bild von den Haaren :) ) Tags: hair, pictures, reigen July 14th, 2009: I should cut down my shoping... .. but I couldn't resist: ( steampunk jewelry ) Current Mood: Current Music: Katra - Kuunpoika July 13th, 2009: You may call me lady marmalade.. no wait... lady jam? I made a mistake... a big one! I asked my mum AND my mother in law how they make apricot jam. Since the opinions are quite contrary (especially on the subject if to puree), I tried both ways and well... I made a additional one with nougat. Now the kitchen needs to be refurbished, or at least thoroughly cleaned, but I feel happy. As happy, as tasting something with lots of sugar can make you. : ) Tags: blog July 12th, 2009: Sale time ( sale terms ) BPN musical note bag - SOLD used, but good condition, was sold out pretty fast. stock picture 120EUR ( older things ) Tags: lolita, sales July 9th, 2009: Steampunk - Bilder ![]() ![]() ![]() Wer die Bilder vom Steampunk-Shooting noch nicht gesehen hat, findet sie HIER. Schön langsam formen sich in meinem Kopf Ideen für ein Lolita-Shooting, da wird aber auch wieder ein Steampunk (lolita) Outfit dabei sein. :) Und der tolle Rock, den ich bestellt hab: Raven Skirt Ansonsten mach ich zur Zeit wieder mal nicht viel ausser Arbeiten und Nähen. :) Tags: bilder, lolita, modeling, shopping, steampunk June 22nd, 2009: shopping These wonderful things are on their way to me: ( Picture heavy! )And I have solved the problem of the dress form. I don't need to buy one, my future father in law will help me building one, fitting my measurements perfectly. HORRAY for him! Current Location: @home Current Mood: June 2nd, 2009: Der Reigen.. Da inzwischen schon 4 mal im Jahr schwarzer Reigen ist, hab ich irgendwie kein besonderes Anzieh-Drama mehr. Da ich aber schon letztes Mal mit was oft getragenem war, hab ich mir bewiesen, dass ich aus dem alter raus bin, wo ich immer was neues haben muss.

Here I am. Feel free to add. April 28th, 2009: Bilder - Vorschau (aufgrund zahlreicher Nachfragen) ^^ Ich trau mich jetzt mit gutem Gewissen sagen, dass ich wandlungsfähig bin. :-) ( 3 große bilder... )Current Mood: April 8th, 2009: I'm a model?! Two days ago, I created a sedcard at a Modelkartei.de. And now (2 day later !) I have 3 shootings waiting for me, without asking for one. That somehow really boosts my self confidence... Silly, isn't it? But that means I have to sew as hell, I need to finish my "Holy Mary of Guadelupe"-Projekt this year. The first fabric has arrived, but I still should sew some trousers before starting something historical. Well, I'm glad I can keep myself busy. ;-) Current Mood: March 16th, 2009March 11th, 2009March 10th, 2009: Can hair hurt? Seriously, in the last few days the roots of hair hair hurt pretty often, the only hairstyle I can wear without problems is a ponytail in the neck. Current Mood: March 3rd, 2009: new costume plans
Tags: historical, sewing February 11th, 2009December 8th, 2008: Steampunk@Reigen Since I have been asked for pics from Saturday, here they are: rundown: corset: gallery serpentine rest: made by me, the skirts are all based on truly victorian patterns. There are more and bigger pics on picasa. In my opinion it could be more "steamy", but I ran out of time to make more accessories. Don't hesitate to give me feedback, please! Current Location: @home October 29th, 2008: Costume plans for the next month Aside from some daily wear, I want to sew, I have some sewing projects for the next month. After falling in love with victorian fashion, there are two Outfits I want to sew, the first from the late bustle periode... TV101 - a wired bustle in black TV261 - 4 gore underskirt, probably also in black TV460 - a cuirass bodice in the evening version TV364 - the autumn overskirt The fabric for the overskirt and the bodice is still open to desicion, but it has to be suitable for a historical ball in january. I want to re-use the bustle for the second outfit, but combine it, with a polonaise (TV410) made of red striped taftea ( or maybe green/blue or gold/red), combined with the four gore underskirt out of matching solid colored taftea, with a bottom ruffle of the striped fabric from the polonaise. Would be fine, if I manage to finish everything till the 6th of December for the "Schwarzer Reigen", but if I don't there will be use for it later and for the Reigen a bustle, overskirt and corset will surely be enough. ^^ So, those are my plans for the next few weeks of sewing, I'll maybe start with the bustle today. :) Update I, 5.11: I decided to use the gold/red fabric for the polonaise, with a dark red underskirt, maybe with a ruffle of the striped fabric on the lower edge. I've started with the bustle 3 days ago and want prepare everything to be ready, when the boning arrives. Update II, 10.11: Everything I can finish without the boning is done... I guess I start with cutting the pattern for the polonaise, hopefully the fabric arrives by the end of the week. (in the meantime I have to finish some everydaywear as well). UpdateIII, 17.11: In the meantime I decieded to make a kind of mockup of all pieces out of black DITTE (ikea's cheap cotton fabric) or other cheap fabrics. The four-gore-skirt is on it's way to be made, everything cut out, the front parts already sewn. I'll hope to finish the back till Wednesday, so I can start the autumn overskirt before the weekend. Update IV, 26.11: The 4 gore underskirt lacks the waistband, but maybe I'm going to attach it today. I don't want to finish the skirt, without knowing how it looks over the petticoat, but: Still no news of the boning or the fabric I ordered! I bought some fabric for a test run of the Polonaise and started with a mock up yesterday, which doesn't fit to well So ... many problems, but as always, I'm going to solve them somehow. *g* Update V: 1.12: I decided against the polonaise, I want more time, to make it properly. Since I need an outfit for saturday, I decided to go for steampunk, with: - the wired petticoat (finished) - the 4 gore underskirt (misses hooks and eyes and a small lace at the bottom) - the wash overskirt (everything cut out, apron finished) out of black/brown fabric) - a shrug of the same black/brown fabric (finished) - an old corset - a heappiece (with peacock feathers?) - a choker Update VI: 4.12: I finished the headpiece and the overskirt only misses one tie and the hook and eye closure. I'm going to take a day off tomorrow to make the bag, a choker, maybe earrings and whatever I can think up in a day off. Tags: historical, sewing |
