aftermath

Hello!
I designed and made this dress for my own pleasure.
I looove it.
And Stephanie looked ah-may-zing in it :-D





Like it?
Well. I've been thinking a lot lately about my life (never a good idea! haha) and I decided: I'd LOVE to design/make clothing from home. That's my ideal. I wanna be a wife and mother but I also REALLY want to design and create. How do I go about this?....well...we'll see.
Ha!
OK, Bye

this is dedicated to FannyPack

I decided that I like to blog because it's a way to archive my projects.
Like this next one: my spring "collection"

Delightful fabric purchased at Wally World. Imagine that! $16 for about 12 yards of fabric!
I looove the colors:

And fake pleather (it's a real thing) shorts. That's right. Get excited.
And a super secret sneak-preview of the dress that dear Stephanie will be modeling for me tomorrow! super excited!

Off to sleep.
Lunch, photoshoot, and haircut tomorrow :-D

Pride in Costuming

So finally, FINALLY I have some of my work from my school's production of Pride and Prejudice. Ok. The drawings are done by my boss <-- and I took his renderings and constructed the actual costumes.

Mrs. Gardner:
Kitty:

Mary:


Unfortunately these are all bad pictures of the finished costumes and I don't even have pictures of all of the ones I made. So. Kinda my fault. But I may try to sneak back sometime and take more pictures. Especially this dress:It's Georgiana's and my favorite that I made.

K. That's all.

Season of Joy!

I'm going to try to blog again. At least over break.

I've got a big ol' stack o' fabric just waiting for me to cut and construct.
I was looking at shorts patterns online today. And then I went and bought some already-made ones. For $5. I wanted some to wear winter-style with tights and my super-sweet new boots :-P

In other news: I got a new lens! Woohoo! I got the Canon 50mm f/1.8. I've been wanting one with a larger aperture for a long time and I finally found the one I wanted. I don't want you, Dear Anna, to think I was copying, I just really wanted it! Haha!
Here are a few shnazzy pics:





And, like I mentioned, gingerbread house building is one of my favorite traditions of Christmas. Here's my Christmas Pagoda:
K. more to come. I've got to catch y'all up on the last semester! haha. maybe not ALL of last semester. But I do wanna show of some of my Pride and Prejudice costumes :-)

PS: I've been reading through the life of Christ via a bible plan app on my iPhone. I love love loved going through Ephesians and 1st John during Winterfest this past week but I feel like we aren't taught from the Gospels very often. I guess people figure that everyone already knows all there is to know in the Gospels. But honestly, I think I may know more from Philippians and 1st John that Mathew or Luke.

My computer crashed again.
So I can't really blog.
College is hard.
:-P

good old black and white

Wow. Lemme just say that I haven't had a lot of time to blog. obviously. Haha.
I've been working on costumes, ceramics, and photography like crazy!
But I love it. That's what I do. :-)

I'd like to show you some of my photography!

These aren't any of my final projects (My teacher has those right now).
These are just fun ones I developed.

ANDREA! There are a lot of stupid scratches or lint on the enlarger lens :-( but, personally, I looooove it!

Me and Sarah. Ashton actually took this one. A few of her pictures got a little messed up somewhere along the line but I thought this looked freakin' sweet so I went ahead and developed it (we have 50 extra 5x7 pieces of paper so I'm free to do this! Haha)

My test strip for my first project. We had to do an outdoor portrait.

And all of the pictures! This is a print of all my negatives so I can choose which picture I wanna enlarge. Click it for the BIG version.

K! There. Enjoy.

I'm going to try to post once a week. it's not a lot but it's the most I can do with all these projects and work. And imagine what it's going to be like closer to the play!
So anyway.
