New Lolita picture

 

I will tell you a bit about that in the next post! Still waiting for more pictures =)

Oh no! It's getting cold in Germany! Already 8°C at night! Brrrrrr >_<

I will make some more cat scarfes for this year! These are the ones from last year and I want to have some that are even prettier and cuter! My boyfriend always ask for a pirate cat... Or maybe the Nyancat. Do you have any cute ideas?

 

 

 

 

I miss my green fringe ;_;

I modeled myself for them and we just made a fast shooting because they look better worn. 

Sometimes I think about beeing my own model for the following collections but I am totally not sure... If I can do it for other Designers maybe I can also do it for my stuff...

New items

Just wanted to show you the last pieces I made. At first my new door sign!

I think it turned out really cute and it is really simple to make! Just took me 30minutes. I think about posting a tutorial about that but most of the people don't own a embroidery machine so I have to think about something else.

I also got myself a new phone! My old one was a huge mess... As a consequence i needed a new cover or sleeve! I made one for me but after ten minutes I realized that I don't like sleeves. I am more into covers. But a lot of people like sleeves for their phone so I made a few for selling. I love doing small stuff because it is so easy to be creative and everything is finished so quickly!

That's the one I made for myself

 which one is your favorite? they are all made from real leather! If you want to get your hands on these just visit my etsy shop =)

Halloween costume madness

Halloween is coming! YAY! for that!

I am really looking forward to that because I will host a Halloween party at my store!

For those of you who don't know: I have a huge cellar under the shop and it is nearly unused because it is a REAL cellar. You know? A dark, creepy dampish one! So my boyfriend thought it would make an awesome party location for Halloween. He will lend me his fog machine and his LCD projector. We still think about the movies but we tend to some oldschool stuff like Frankenstein's bride... If you have any good ideas for a Halloween party, just write me =D

I still think about my costume... At first i wanted to make the creepy girl from "The Ring"

But last week I saw Hunger Games and I was totally amazed about Effie Trinket. I am not a big fan of the movie(maybe I am too old) but all the costumes of the Capitol people are so amazing. The whole look is so unique and well sophisticated. All these bright nice coulours and the awesome make up and hair styles! But it is interesting how they managed to make it still look kind of weird and a bit depressing. Maybe it is the huge amount of black they used. It's really unusual to use black as clothing colour for people in the backround when it comes to movies.

So I decided for this Effie Trinket outfit. This will be a lot of work but I am the host... I have to look amazing! 

This strange collar shape will give me a lot of trouble and what kind of shoes is she wearing? Can't find proper pictures... And the bracelets? And this thing on her head? >__<

I am still looking for a good wig! If you have any advice where I can buy one, please write me!

I hope I will not end up buying 4 meter fabric and stuff but can't finish it in time so everything will be screwed and i have to make "the ring girl" costume within one night haha...

And may the odds be ever in your favor...

Today I finished a comission work for a Hunger Games Cosplay! It is the dress Katniss wears in her last interview after the Game.

4 meter Chiffon just for the skirt! I felt like sewing a wedding dress! It reminds me a bit of the dress Belle wears in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast". 

As a reward I bought myself a new lipstick. It is Loreal's Lollipop lipstick number 030. I love the Design! Hot pink, glitter and transparent plastic? AWESOME! Unfortunately it is more like lip balm. Just a little pink gleam and a bit glitter. So this is the most expensive lip balm I ever bought but it was totally worth it ♥

 

The Lipstick is also transparent *o* and it tastes sweet and fruity

Que Pasa Mi Nina

Are you open for some artistic stuff? For some Spanish modern dance theater? Great!

At the beginning of august I started working on a project called "Human Loops". Here is the offical description:

"HUMAN LOOPS is a co-operation between dancers and choir singers from Spain and Germany. 

HUMAN LOOPS overcomes the barriers between auditorium and stage, like traveling through a animated museum the spectator is free to discover the various scenes in Berlin’s main town hall “Rotes Rathaus”.  HUMAN LOOPS deals with two formative mechanisms of the human being: duality and cycle. The performative basis of the respective scenes is the LOOP – little plots and emotional conditions are being performed without beginning or end."

My job was to be the costume supervisior! 

You know this is art and in Berlin most artist work for free. Unfortunately. But I really like the choreographer who is also a friend of mine. 

Awesome Misses Meritxell Campos Olivé. 

We already worked together!  And it was great everytime! So if she asks for help I am always at her service =) You can take a look at our past work if you want!

Unfortunately there were no money for costumes. So I had to create a look that seperates the dancers from the audience without making costumes. Seriously, that's nearly impossible. 40 people from spain and 40 people from berlin and everyone overstrained with these 3 rules i made up: 

1. No black, no white

2. No shoes, no socks

3. Everything Vintage is welcome

But anyway it was a lot of fun! I learned some funny spanish phrases like "Que Pasa Mi Nina". That means "How u doin baby?" Very usefull in your everyday life!

And I spent my days with my boyfriend (because he did some video stuff) and Mr. Tal De Vil(he was Marcel's henchman for the shooting days) who also took the following pictures to give you some impressions!

she had the only costume in the play. Her role was to be a traffic policeman and "guide" the people around the museum

Marcel, Meritxell and me looking really serious at the scene

We also had funny lunch breakes with fabulous catering from a nice bistro called Cuccuma 

they also had a circus out in the yard but it was closed =(

creepy horse disguised as an elefant...

again creepy horse

Not sure if we are doing couple stuff or if i try to eat him but I really like the photo <3

  Marcel also took a photo of me, it was more for fun but it turned out to be cool so we made a 3minute-mini-shooting with everyone and he did some kind of collage. I think it looks a bit like a Nike commercial xD 

Italo looks like Wolverine xD
