'What is it, Professor?' said Dean Thomas at once. Everyone had got to their feet and slowly, they crowded around Harry and Ron's table, pressing close to Professor Trelawney's chair to get a good look at Harry's cup.
'My dear,' Professor Trelawney's huge eyes opened dramatically, 'you have the Grim.' 
 
'The Grim, my dear, the Grim!' cried Professor Trelawney, who looked shocked that Harry hadn't understood. 'The giant, spectral dog that haunts churchyards! My dear boy, it is an omen – the worst omen – of death!'
'Harry Potter and The Prisoner of  Azkaban'
J.K. Rowling
The idea is shamelessly copied from Pinterest. Sorry - not sorry.

PST! PST! If you want one of these (or a different omen on the bottom), let me know in the comment section below! I might do a suprise giveaway :>

Disclaimer: I won't dare to say that it is my design but it also isn't an exact copy of the coat from 'The Wraith' Collection F//W 12 by ODD. It is strongly inspired but still - different.
 This is what I call Random Child.
  It's not for a particular time of a year and if I even wanted to, I wouldn't be able to sew another one. (Not to mention my mother has already annouced she will never ever agree to take a part in similar project again)
  Mixing two completly different fabrics (or to be exact - a fabric and a knitwear) caused a lot of problems with sewing and forced many changes in pattern. The pattern itself was just a mixture of Red Riding Hood costume and my intuition. Even wearing it is a problem sometimes as the knitwear tends to get hooked by buckles of my backpack, but still I am very satisfied with the result.
It is dark and it's big - I can wrap it around myself at least twice; the hood is huge and I've managed to freak out quite a few people at night by looking like a Nazgul from The Lord of The Rings movie. 
  But it's one of a kind and I am loving it with my whole hairy heart.

*fog rises* *creepy music* IT'S ALIIIIIVEEEEE
After a really long time I'm back to reactivate my babeeey with much better photo quality and, hopefully, more systematic posts. I haven't been doing nothing when I was gone so I have quite a lot of stuff to show you! They most likely won't be in chronological order, but you don't mind do you?
I will do my best to post every Saturday from now on so keep an eye out for new from me.

 I've mentioned before that I have quite an affection for Kat von D, her talent for tattooing portraits as well as her style. It was Kat that introduced me to a rather macabre concept of victorian mourning jewerly (origins are noted around 1600s in England). It does seem creepy beyond comprehenion for most people I've talked to, but for me it has a certain charm in it's simple and very human reason of existence: "People started making memorial jewelry because there was no photography, and if your loved one died you wanted something as a touchstone to remember them every day.*" said Erica Weiner,  collector of mourning jewerly from New York.

 I was so enchanted with the idea that I decided to create one of my own.


 A simple pendant made out of my friend's hair who volunteered to send me some after changing his hairstyle. I won't lie, it was quite a pain to tame the hair into a certain form, even such a simple one. I failed miserably when I tried for the first time, the above is what I've managed to do after. It was hard enough to make me think how did they do it originally, without an instant glue. Although you can probably see a ton of flaws even in the pictures, I'm quite happy with the result. I don't wear it too often as it is causing a lot of controversy.



 Even simpler piece, but far more personal. It is a small locket with a lock of my friend's hair which I got as a present for my 18th birthday. It is a very intimate thing to give and can be perceived even as dangerous, knowing that person's hair is an important ingredient in curses and such. The pendant is a kind of talisman which I wear when I have a worse day once a while. Knowing that Julia is with me in one way or another does make thing a bit better. (cheeeeeseeeyy)



 If you want to find out more about mourning jewerly, check out Kat von D's video here, article I quoted* or just Google it. Worth it!

Cheers! x!
