Hi Everyone,

Just in case anyone would like a look, I have been busy making things for my other etsy store, as well as working on a dance show- Seven Deadly Sins. I am working 7 days a week right now, and just felt like sharing some photos. I need to thank Amanda ? I think it was, for the inspiration for the Carousel skirt from a fresh Vintage photo image months and months ago.
When I have some costume work in progress pics I will share those too.
I have popped links in to etsy below in case you are really keen to see these in more detail. hello kitty emoti

Gayle I thought of you when I saw this Alice in Wonderland display from my local department store: you can't see here but on the table are cupcakes with a watch on each. I think the only items actually for sale were the timepieces.

Have you seen the competition on Etsy to create something handmade inspired by the book? The prize was to have it reproduced commercially.
 
You're a force of nature Gayle--can't believe how much creative energy and brilliance you are positively brimming with.

All the creations in your shop are fabulous, truly art as Mary says, but I'm especially smitten with the frock coat. The buttons and that lining just... leave me speechless! Kudos, kudos, kudos!

Can't wait to see pictures from the show you're working on...
 
Gosh, thanks everyone for such kind words of encouragement, and the hearts. Its hard to get my little shop found, as I am not great at keywords so every little heart helps. :wub:. It can get a bit lonely working at home, and Gavin has been working night shift as well, so sharing this stuff really helps my mental health.

Amber, I would love a live Model, but I am cash strapped right now, nor do I know anyone who would fit the bill size or look wise sadly. I need to make some pants to go under that carousel skirt to help it sell though.

By the Way, Dear heart Gavin called that outfit ''Gayles Folly''- as the hours put into that way exceeded any financial return. It just got a bit out of hand but had gone too far to stop- madness! :hysterical:


Things happened like the hallmark horses that I thought would be a cinch to pull apart, were really well made. I had to drill the metal poles off, so then I had to make saddles for the horses to hide the damage etc etc.

Melanie- I will suss out that etsy competition. :USETHUMBUP:
