live out my childish fantasies. My greatest desire was to transform the world
into a fairytale. By using combinations of different clothing I could become
any creature, princess, hero, fairy, I have ever dreamed about. But at the end

crawl into bed to restart another day in which I will build up an outfit that
leaves me with butterflies and the slightest blush.</span></div>

reality and what my future will provide. I begin to feel a chill within my very

all becomes too apparent. What I have come to realize in the end is that all
this magic I feel originates from woven thread; cleverly woven thread. Why
can't I grow my wings and fly? Why does my adventure not begin? Why must we
work to survive in a world where survival comes easily?</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you who do not know, I have been an Emilie Autumn fan since I was 13. After three incredible performances with another one quickly approaching, I began planning my costume the week I purchased my tickets. However, the weekend before the concert I began putting together the completed costume and I was completely mortified by the overall unorganized and uncoordinated mess I had created. (the feather bustle did not help.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/556815_10151272205441250_1769842095_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/556815_10151272205441250_1769842095_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a result, I scraped the original concept and began looking at each and every costume Emilie Autumn and her bloody crumpets wore for inspiration. I decided if I was comfortable dressing up as a bubble gum big bird I might as well be the preferred animal of the Asylum and opted for a Plague Rat since, at the time, Emilie was auctioning off her original Rat Costume. (one of my personal favorite costumes I might add!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Now of course, three days before the show, I don't believe I realized how absolutely fucked I was. But, nevertheless, if there is one thing I do well it's working under pressure! After much consideration (a day and a trip to the craft store to be exact), I decided to try and combine Veronica's costume and add lavender in order to make the different shades of gray pop! Here's the outcome: </div>

The corset needs much more detail but I hand sewed every bead and little gem myself. I'm going to continue to work on this piece until Animazement. </div>

My mom helped me sew the Swag Bustle on top of the layers of fabric and tulle I had already sewn on. She even showed me how to make fabric roses! I'm going to decorate the fuck out of this skirt as soon as I get some more time on my hands at this week. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Cute, Playful, and Fuzzy!</span></b><br />
<br />
Now, as some of you may know; I am all about over the top shoes. As a matter of fact, my shoe collection has grown far past my expectations and shows no signs of slowing down. Recently I have been yearning for more sweet, delicate, and glittery heels. So I decided to make a hobby out of it and take shoe decoration more seriously Over the past few months I have started searching for more shoes in which I could decorate. After found perfect (and cheap) shoes to decorate I looked for examples and muses. I took inspiration from such brands as <a href="http://www.la-pafait.jp/">La Parfait</a> and <a href="http://www.dreamvs.jp/">DreamV</a> and finally started working towards dreamy shoes.<br />
<br />

After four wonderful hours I completed my beautiful shoes. These were actually cheap <a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41pm2faTpQL.jpg">Pleaser Shoes</a> in which I ordered to decorate. (<strike><span style="font-size: xx-small;">my mom said they were "fuck me" shoes until I decorated them lol)</span></strike></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I hand stitched four pink bow. Two large and two small</li>
<li>Edged the inside and edging with white lace</li>
<li>glued gems and half pearls on the clear plastic heels and sealed them</li>
<li>threaded crystal beads and pearls on wire thread and hung them under the small bows on the heels</li>
<li>added heart shaped gems with a crystal bead onto the big bows.</li>
</ul>

Surprisingly these decorations are sturdy and sealed on for good! </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Likewise, I even used these <a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Ee%2BseWzaL._SX385_.jpg">Ellie Stripper boots</a> for a cos-play back in may using inspiration from DreamV and Kerli.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Stripper shoes have proven to be an excellent base for beautiful custom shoes. I have seen them used in cosplays as well as wonderful outfits. I felt no shame going through each and every stripper supply shop looking for the best price on shoes in order to decorate. In the end all that I'm after are shoes.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.dreamvs.jp/images/article/509502/5095020004-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.dreamvs.jp/images/article/509502/5095020004-01.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I have always admired DreamV's shoes and There were hand's down my personal favorite! However, like most of there more detailed items they sold out quickly. But, while I scrolled through the foot wear on ebay I found a perfect base in order to recreate my dream shoes!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again Stripper shoes saved the day. Moreover, there are more heel height options: 6 inch, 7 inch, and 8 inch! </div>
Overall, I think that platform heels are the future of fashion.. Or at least the future of my style.<br />

Lately I have been aloof, busy, and focusing on school while leaving my social life in the shadows. I believe I am still adjusting to the melancholy swing of things. Still, I feel the need to balance out school and blogging so that I do not fall into a pit of self pity and diva style drama. I want to craft, sing, play guitar, clean, dance, rave, and some many other pointless teenage antics. But school keeps me from my friends and foes. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the news of Emilie Autumn's North American tour dropped, October 2nd became my new deadline for an elaborate costume I have never thought of before. A burlesque diva with a Rococo flare. A new idea, one of which I would have never thought of without the Inspiration graced by Dita Von Teese. A new idea requires new items pieces to complete the look and theme. Nothing from my wardrobe could accommodate this idea without looking like the same old tired look (my personal style) we have become use to. Likewise I feel like nothing I own would do this idea any justice. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I soon realized I needed cash after checking my income and going over some ideas. I needed everything to be ready in two weeks. Last weeks paycheck had come and went. SO. After reviewing what I need I began busting my hump for extra income. This meant along with school, part time work, and boyfriend, I had to pile part time work with my mom. Needless to say I have been busy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT, Emilie Autumn announced a delay in her tour due to an illness. This came as a shock but turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Now my deadline is pushed further back to January. This news came after I sold items from my wardrobe and had, metaphorically, worked my plush-rump off.</div>

This will I will finish up my work, school will be taken care of, and I will go back to gracing everyone's dashboard with my prescience. I will continue to build my costume and create something completely different. Whenever a new event takes place I decide to out do myself every time. I always want to make myself from months ago look like a total weaboo loser. It is a challenge to recreate a new concept of myself every time but I gladly accept the task. </div>

Recently I have not been posting all that much personal themed posted on my tumblr or over here. This is because I have been occupied with school and my personal life. These past weeks have been difficult. However I keep pressing onward!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywho, I want to start sharing interesting items I stumble upon for those who might have missed them. I have an entire folder in my bookmarks filled with links and items so I'll try to keep up~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://www.idilvicefashionrocks.com/servlet/the-846/tootsie_roll-cherry_maxi_dress-tshirt-cherry_pop/Detail?gclid=CMiHrZXwwbICFQKCnQodLn4AsA">/Tootise pop dress, $187.00/</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dress caught my eye over on Etsy. However, the item was taken down (to switch over to their website from etsy) and I was unable to find it again until today. It's a steep price to pay for a t-shirt dress but I can't help but to melt at this items. Cherry lolipops are my one and only favorite candy. If I ever have 200 dollars laying around I might snatch this up.</div>

This dress comes from the indie brand Merry Berry Jelly. Every one that I have seen has bought this in Green. It has been said that this dress was inspired by Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle. Personally, I'm dying to order this in the dusty pink style. I usually hate the color as a base color but something about this dress just looks so sweet and delicate. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One last item I DO NOT recommend buying this item due to the negative feedback the seller has received. However, I want us to take a look at this item for inspiration. I plan on recreating a corset inspired by this item:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/5350500/il_570xN.296357764.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/5350500/il_570xN.296357764.jpg" width="406" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a shame that the seller has gone under but I plan on using her work as inspiration. I will use an underbust cone shape corset and hand dying it lavender. I will use some edging similar to the lace roses but I plan on using more detail then they did. I will sew on gems, pearls, and lace the the base edge and pull it up to the top. Next, I purchased a light pink bustle which I will alter to sew onto this corset. (or just wear under the corset, I'm still undecided) I will add pearls and crystals to hang from the bottom and I will have them hanging from the bra across the shoulder as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have so much in mind that this design has set forward. I cannot wait to get started and I will keep everyone up to date with the project.</div>

Like last year I will be selling candles and my own jewelry. Looking back to last year I can remember how terrified I felt to be selling to an entire convention, not only that but my school ends the same weekend as AZ. Needless to say it is stressful for a 15 year old girl to take on such task. But After all I have learned from AZ and all the practice from over this past year I can share some tips that could help:<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Don't procrastinate.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-weight: bold; white-space: pre; "> </span>We all know the trouble you could encounter if you wait until the last minute. Sloppy work is one of many issues. Most crafts and pieces take time and focus. If you are watching the clock the night before speeding around and finishing everything, this is not a good sign. Take time with your work and stay calm. Get a good night sleep the night before the convention and have a big breakfast early in the morning. It is very important to have a good breakfast before a long days work. (most times you will be work 12 hours and you won't be able to get lunch!!)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Practice your display.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-weight: bold; white-space: pre; "> </span>At Animazement I sat next to Ryan from <a href="http://mooglegurl.deviantart.com/">MoogleGurl</a>, her display was tall and well planed. She had a banner with her shop name and all of her items were on a vertical display. However, I had no idea what my display would look like until I was setting up. Your display will be what draws customers in. A display should show off all of the products and help a customer see everything you have to offer. When people are walking around a convention they might not have a lot of time to stop and look at everything so your display has to be clean and organised so people can clearly see your items. It's a good idea to set up a practice display at home a few weeks before the event to get a feel for the display.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Keep logs, make goals, and have a plan.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-weight: bold; white-space: pre; "> </span>Next, it helps to keep receipt books to keep tract of the items you sell and to help you figure out what to make the next year. Try to make small goals to help you stay focused and stress free. For an example, "I will make 50 cupcake but the end of this week," this is not a good idea because it make you feel like you have to make 50 cupcakes <i>now </i>which can throw you off if you are working on other projects. Instead plan on making 10 cupcakes a day alongside with the other crafts. Lastly, plan on what to make and try to figure out what would sell best. This could take some research but it really helps. You can look around your gallery at what has more comment and favorites, you can also look around for themes and get inspired from other artists around the net to get an idea of what hot and selling now.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Stay focused.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-weight: bold; white-space: pre; "> </span>Try to not get overwhelmed and stressed over the upcoming event. It takes a lot of work to run a booth but it's better to not think about how you have to do or what little time you have left to work. You can get more items made if you take your time and just focus. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div>Torihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10789820205120301300noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284581428749606579.post-71976614587899722622011-02-02T16:23:00.000-08:002011-02-02T16:55:13.126-08:00Crafting fun~<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>First off, I have not been active at all on this blog. For that I am sorry! I've been very busing working and studying, so this blog was low on my to do list! However, I am going to post on here as ofter as I can! <div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In other news! I've been busy crafting new items! So everyone knows I love to make candles, but I love sweets Deco even more. So I've decid</div><div>ed to combine the two! Not too long ago my mom bought me four really cheap porcelain tea cups, they have been collecting dust in my closet for a year or so now. But today I found found them and had a great idea!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxbm51ov1nckRufwk98jTUKsQqQjjVDfD-LR0oO4MEjaJdyK9d3iOOpZdfCUhE8YOGUSuCVC2xesNYO_20LUeeJKDKKJL2OKg9n2G3vZ_CsWz_BnJgkfRe7OzwrBffjt4up7wXBp_sLTRv/s400/IMG_0358.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569257147860816738" /></div></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The Candle is made of Gel wax which burns for about 8 hrs, and those little sweets are made from regular wax.

But if you have just started your very own Sweets shop marketed for Lolita girls' and you feel as if you can't get off the ground, here are some tips and some new things I've been working on. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>F</span>irst of all, the best thing to do is take the best photos, (one thing i still have trouble with) most of the best known artist are known for there crafts, however it's all in the photos. If you take a photo of your product with sharp bright colors rather than out of focus dull photos you will be amazed how many new customers will be rushing to order from yo</div><div>u! Just learn how to fix levels in your photos, <b>USE A TRIPOD, </b>make a nice display (whether it is a shelf or a table), use can light or natural sunlight(this helps alot), and lastly, use the best of your stock.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span>Next, just use unusual ideas. This is how a lot of artist get their inspiration. Now I am not telling you to use other artist ideas, but look around you because you will be surprised of the things you will think of. Have you ever looked at a cupcake and wanted to wear it in your <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/59416685/3d-faux-cupcake-hair-clip">hair</a>? I bet that's just what <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HelloKewpie">HelloKewpie</a> wanted to do! Or maybe you have seen my own creation? <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/63175699/ice-cream-head-band">The ice cream headband</a>!</div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig1sH4PbHn4nTp8givziD3mtWsjSUhBtNUSmO_TFdByAlECsdYSZRjRm5RfZeT8E-pigifF2wNVrE2W5OdM5ggU8KwiEZYZpkcEp7LmvdPRmvhy3Lc-DaYFivCoSWDKHP1C3cfs95vGZ4-/s400/1005002027.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547680694248758514" /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Also, You'll see that even chocomint used the item by making fuzzing glasses hair clips!
