I was born in 1987 and live in Austria (no, not Australia with the kangoroos, it is in Inner Europe) and study archaeology. I am very fond of languages and writing, Tolkien's writings and history, especially the Middle Ages in Europe. These are my greatest influences into my artwork.
many have I uploaded in the last weeks. The next weeks until July will be very productive. I have many commissions now, a whole ensemble for a Hobbit woman for Larp that I really enjoy to make, and some other major commissions for Larp and players, not to forget the projects for me: a new Renaissance corset, sleeves, a new Greek Peplos, a white elven dress and a modern Doublet.
You might have noticed that I have uploaded many works of jewelry in the last weeks. The cause is, that I've been asked to share a stand at a well visited Medieval fair in July. The only constriction is, that the organiser does not like Fantasy, so I want to specialise in historical jewelry and sell too bags and other bits and pieces.
Another thing I am planning is a photo-shooting with my own old dresses, now that spring has come and green and warmth is back. I will reload them then.
So many pictures will follow and I am far from doing nothing :)
I always see your art on here and I keep meaning to ask you some things, like how long does it take you to make the more elaborate clothes? And do you use patterns or make your own? Your work is lovely =]
Thank you very much!
Please do ask if you want to know something! :) My clothes are usually made between three and five hours, with embroidery it can take ten and much more... thise I didn't really count... I just can say how much evenings *g*
Every pattern is my own :)
No Problem . Wow, three hours is amazing, I can imagine that the embroidery must be time consuming (I'm too impatient to really try ><. I love making clothes, and I almost always make my patterns but it takes me so long because I don't really know how, I do a lot of guessing . Do you have any tips?
The embroidery is a thing of conceitedness I gave no patience too usually.
Your chocolate cocktail dress is great! What should I tell you *g* For my own things I take as basic pattern a good fitting shirt or whatever I need that I lay on the fabric and draw around plus seam allowance.
There are some beautiful garments here! I would just be careful with photographing your lighter colored outfits, because its sometimes hard to admire the fabric and structure of them. The jewelry is also very well made and beautiful. ((also, i kept thinking: brocade, man I wish I could afford to use that stuff...lol)) ^ ^
Thank you very much :) Normally I put a picture of the fabric to it but in the last weeks I was careless. Brocade is not much more expensive than other fabrics if you look for furniture brocade or/and in the right shops :)
