Crafting, costumes, jewelry, fashion, DiY grown fresh daily!
I finished up the felt apple by attaching it to a headband. The month-long dash has been a great one, and I move on with a lot of energy into preparing myself for the final stretch of student teaching, and onto job applications! Hopefully this last project - an apple - with bring me some luck as I go!
I will be taking off the rest of the week (I know, you are SO going to miss me after a post every day of the last month =p), but expect me back next week… probably with wedding stuff! Ha!
Yesterday I spent most of the day putting in applications for teaching positions, doing this until late at night. I didn't spend much time crafting, but I did pause to make this little felt piece, in honor of the first applications of my teaching career being sent out!
There we go! A nip and a tuck here and we've got a better fitting dress. This is the lining, with edits pinned.
Wonder what's going on with my funny dressed dressform? Well, it's not exactly my size, so I padded it with some extra fabric and an old, er, undergarment. Fixed!
I wanted some cute earrings to wear out tonight, so I worked up a super-fast pair with several lengths of antiqued chain.
And done! Alas, I am fighting to find a wig in time for Animeland Wasabi… I had no luck in my local store, and online shipping takes a while… Here’s hoping!
I started out with some gold feathers/leaves charms and enameled them with some nail polish (which is still technically enamel! hee!). Glad I had that green polish in the bathroom. Tonight they are drying and tomorrow I need to acquire gold-tone earwires to complete.
Not bad! It's a good fit other than in the hips. A little more adjustment next time, and it'll be great.
