More from Killing My Lobster

The Spiderman sketch was cut at the last minute - very sad but I'm sure he'll appear in another KML sketch at some point....

I'm quite late in doing this as the show closes today
but better now than never.....






The first is my interpretation of orthodontic Headgear

Birthday dress for Leslie

I made this to match the Carin room at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo for her birthday. The room is decorated entirely in pink and gold and yes, that is the lower half of a cherub above her head.

The parameters were animal print and pink. I used a vintage pattern and made a few alterations to it. I added the inverted box pleat at the front, lowered the neckline and made the sleeves fuller with a slit along the sides.

Heidi approved

January seemed to be for some reason the month of alterations and pet projects (literally, will you make something for my dog). She was on the blue bed till I came by and plunked this down. She sniffed and snuffled, then sniffed some more, turned around three times then laid down thereby signaling her approval.

...And now for something completely different....

This is a coat for a dog. First ever dog coat I've made. I decided to jazz it up a bit and using inspiration from Seminal Semana on Tumblr came up with this:

Nunway pics

pictures from the final fitting with Sister Mary Ralph (Mark). I'm so proud of how well it fits and how well everything works together. I had such a great time working on this with Mark and I feel that it really highlights both of our aesthetics. I am doubly proud that all of the pieces can be combined and will coordinate well with other pieces he already has.
The show was a blast and it was so great to see all the different variations on a theme.

Mary Ralph at Noel Noir

Upper portion of the habit for Sister Mary Ralph for Nunway2 at Noel Noir last night. I will be posting more pictures as I get them. I am so proud of how this turned out. Definitely more simple than most but it fit well and showcases both our styles. Luckily we have much overlap in the aesthetics department. Such a fun project and what a great show last night.
