I love some shoulder caps! Got around to making a prototype for a new vest design so here are some more detail-oriented shots while I work on getting some good full photos of it. Vest is sheepskin and full grain leather #sheepskin #sheepskinvest # Lady Macbeth • trying a new rendering style by redrawing some old designs from my freshman year! Slide 1: hosting gown Slide 2: sleepwalking Slide 3: queen These are part of a surrealist arthouse-esque horror concept of Macbeth I’ve be Gideon Nav, Cavalier Primary of the Ninth House - Annnnd here is the layer analysis/breakdown of the Gideon design I did to go with Harrow! #thelockedtombtrilogy #harrowtheninth #gideonnav #costumedesign #costumeillustration #gideontheninth #thelo Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Necromancer Adept of the Ninth House - Layer analysis/breakdown of the Harrow design I did over the fall/winter! I’ve slowly been working on designing all the necromancer and cavalier duos (and one tr Recently just found one my first beetles I ever made when I was about 16 and boy is it nice to see how far I’ve come. You can really see my dedication to detail evolve as well as my comfort with the materials. My first guy is so flat and simp Dressing Cheshire; from sketch to screen Photos from the process of creating the look of Cheshire, one of the main characters in @chasingalicefilm Talk about a costume based around a single piece of clothing!

I didn’t build the full dress, just made the pattern hence why there is only half of a dress and I didn’t fill the skirt in—in the Another bug!

Wire framed wings on organza 2. Tread wrap wire for the antennae 3. Lay out shells and body and couch down foam or felt for dimension 4. Fill in body and wing shells 5. Remove everything from the frames and A return to beading A couple months ago I made a return to creating beaded insects with this little guy. Each piece of him was hand beaded separately within a wire frame and then assembled together to make his final form which is about 1.5” in Snake shoulders! (Snoulders, if you will) Throwback to my second leather project ever; hand stamped, carved, and laced (most of lacing being during my lecture classes freshman year) The base block for these was based on Morraine Sedai’s bole WIP on a draped bodice - also first venture in really paying attention to pattern matching! These are the cut pieces pinned to the dress form so that I can ensure the motif remains intact as much as possible.
