*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!

While today's cleaning my room, I found not-that-old-but-still-forgotten-THING. I don't even know how to call it.
        I made it as a part of my cosplay costume. It's a part of Auror's outfit, which is basically made for holding elixirs nearby a hand. It has already been worn and I must say it's surprisingly comfortable. Although I had it on me only once and it wasn't the time I made it for (meaning - LARPG which I host so I HAVE TO have badass costume ;D).
       I didn't take a lot of time to make. The only delay I had was for buying a missing buckle and still, it only took one day.  Not bad, huh?


     
       I'm back in the game! I made today 3 t-shirts (DAMN!) and they are already out for sale!

Making collars - second try.

I officially qualify collars into category 'pain in the ass'.



 

Nothing else to say~





...but have I ever told you how painful mounting studs can be? REALLY painful. :<

Next time I'll have odea to use elements made of hauberk, I give you official permision to hit me in the head and call 'IDIOT'. Seriously, in my whole life I haven't done anything so troublesome. To people who make their own armors- my respect.
The whole thing is made by myself - even this tiny circles. TROUBLESOME. and painful. Because of modeling the wire into circles, my hands hurt badly and I can't really work with hard materials. AgrrrrrR!

WHOAVIANS! UNITE!
Yes, I'm deeply in love with Doctor Who, especially the Tenth. David Tennant is simply the best.
For a long time I've been wondering if I should try the galaxy pattern. It's not so simple to do it, but I guess it's just me - taking challenges recklessly. Here it is then - leggins in galaxy!
(and my old Doctor Who t-shirt)

P.S. I love my oversized 3d glasses ^^



BUT WAIT! DID YOU SEE THAT?!









Itąs a TARDIS! ;D

ATTENTION ATTENTION. New things are coming!
I'm in half way to finish my friend's outfit I've mentioned in previous post. I didn't expect it to be such fun to make :)

The other glove. In each element of the costume I have to remember about the possible conditions - the heat, sun and rapid moves. The RPG will be in summer. That's why this one can barely be called a glove. Not much is left of it. :D At first it was supposed to be long, until elbow with case for a knife, but it would reduce moves. Not a very good idea for an armor of a warrior so I'll make it as two separated parts.


Next - kneeboard. Sorry for the loose ends, but I had to leave them so I can later adjust it to my friend's knee. I'm happy that's it's working and it's not hurting while bending leg. Looks pretty badass at life ;D
As you can see on the previous photo, I couldn't make it without spilled my own blood. Mounting studs is dangerous thing!


Aaaand... the lock I bought a few days ago in Łódź (my lovely family city) for a bag I'm going to make. I love how you can change it's character. It can be a steampunk lock or padlock-like. I'm so excited! I can't wait for finishing it already. :D

Hello everyone!

Here comes my first handmade accessory. Well... It's more like make-over of my old leather glove, but still.

It wasn't that hard to make. It took me around 20 min (believe me, it's not THAT long, sewing takes usually few days + at least a day for shopping). It wasn't expensive either. In fact, each one of you can make it, even if you don't have a sewing machine at home. The only thing you might have to buy are pincers to jewelry.

I love how it turned out in a rock-y style. Right now, I'm in love with punk, rock and everything related to leather and spikes. You'll see a lot of them in my next designes ;)



Cheers!
