For a Miss Bliss...

First toile...x

Well then! Here is a recent creation for a friend of mine! This is actually the toile so there is much needed for perfection. I intend on making this in Latex but have used PVC for toiling. The PVC was the closest and cheapest fabric I could find to latex. This PVC only stretches one way and considering latex stretches FIVE ways, I'll be interested if my pattern works for both!?

Also, I'm having trouble with a certain UK latex supplier. I have been waiting nearly 5 weeks for samples that I have paid for! This is so annoying to someone who would like to get on with it and it has forced me to find another supplier!

Pencils are exciting don't you know ?......








These are the illustrations I promised a while ago! Even though they may look simple, the illustrations are made up of layers using a different medium for each layer. I thought it would be cool to recreate a standard technique that I often use in Photoshop by hand.

Here are the results.... and I'm always working on more!

A Blur of Fashion. . . .


So, I have finally found my scanner and am re-living the joys of photoshop once more! I'm also loving the 'Buzzz hummmm' that the scanner makes... in a strange way it almost seems like a natural sound... . . . . ohdear!

Oh yea! Before I forget, the above are some initial sketches for a dress I will be making soon (Must.Post.Pics!). I have been looking into 1950's underwear as inspiration. I also got the opportunity to visit Amsterdam and saw some very pretty, intricate silk bras in a certain museum.

If I were Louie Spence....

Finally! I am proud to say, that I now have broadband in my home. Which, after dillying and dallying around with other bits of life has now presented a welcome "hummmm" back into my life once again.

Which in lateral terms means: I can now post again :OD

Ooooooo the delight!......If I were Louie Spence I'd feel a song comming on.

I have been playing around with illustration styles mainly. I will add some more pics as soon as I can
