wow, everyone is amazing! Nothing of mine is very elegant but I'm always complimented and told my fancy dress is amazing - Halloween is my time of year! haha I haven't posted any shop bought costumes, just what I've make shifted into things
1. Under the trap door
2. A duck
3 and 4. Salad fingers - if you're unfamiliar look on youtube π
5. Avatar - my most favourite ever for a shift at TGI Fridays and it was dead, totally wasted effort but it looked cool!
I love your cross stich! The flower fairy is beautiful π
I love the cow!! haha
Thank you! It's my friend's favourite animal and she picked the theme so I obviously had to be a cow...and then the year after make her cow cakes π haha
Oh my, what lovely stuff I see! Love being all crafty. I knit, crochet, bake, and do nail designs. Well, when I can find time between work and kids nowadays that is. I am jealous of those of you that can sew/make clothes! Never had a knack for it, but admire those who do.
wow you all are so talented! i like to sew, draw + paint. heres some of my work:
that one was inspired by a marc jacobs ad i saw in teen vogue years ago
that one was inspired by a photoshoot from teen vogue from years ago too
that one was my first try at digital painting, though i never have finished it. i did it all on my phone on the PicsArt app for Android, and was based off of this illustration that i did with a ballpoint pen:
I just finished these today for my bothers boyfriend. They nearly finished me off, I'm shattered! π
It's ok, he's a pantomime dame! The first one is his finale hat and I loved making it! The second one was slightly torturous as I found it hard to work out how to make the brim take the weight of the cups and cakes, I'd do it differently if I did it again... No doubt I will be making him more if he gets another gig next Christmas. This is his third year, so he's doing well π
Oh, I forgot, after this photo was taken, I added a green glitter trim around the edge on the teapot hat, it really brightened it up!
Woooowwww janine they're amazing! How many times have you tried them on?? Be honest! Haha
Oh my gosh, Janine! Those are AMAZING!!! Love them... would LOVE to see pics of them when he's in full costume. Way to go!!!
Thanks guys!
Meeshy, not as many times as you'd think! Purely because his head is 2 inches larger than mine lol I think I had it on about 3 times... It's lovely seeing the feathers flutter π
Cupcake, I'm definitely going to get him to get some photos when he's all dressed up! Unfortunately it sounds like his dressmaker didn't do a great job on his dresses, so he's not happy on that side, which is a shame.
Oh, that is a shame that is dressmaker didn't come through for him. Hopefully, your amazing hats will MORE than make up for where he feels the dresses are deficient? π
