Wahhhhhhhh, just saw that Otto Dix is announced for this years WGT .. so greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ... wohaaaaaaaaaaaaa .... yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah ... (just read if you don't understand what I mean )

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At first I want to thank everyone who put me on their watchlist recently, I just don't have the time to leave a comment on every single artist's page, but I try to answer every comment on my work

At the moment, my sewing projects need to wait, although I try to make at least one seam per day, but ~Rasgrashbo and me are going to move about next week and we have to pack our things together so that moving will be done as quick as possible.
And I hope that I will have more time to sew then.

But WGT comes quickly ... about 80 days left and I have lots of plans for new stuff, and I NEED to finish at least as much to have something to wear for 4 days.

I still started working on an elizabethan gown, made of violet silk, I've finished the skirt and the bodice is waiting for new silver braid that I have to order first, but I think I will do that after we moved.
If you are curious about that gown, take a look at this: [link]
The color is much more fantastic in real

Then I started working on a tudor-style gown, made of black velvet with some kind of golden pinstripes, the skirt is almost finished, I hope I can do that today, I wanted to sew much more that weekend but I ended up staying in front of the computer, watching videos on youtube and looking for pics (crazy on Otto Dix at the moment .. read further on )

I would be happy if I could at least finish those two gowns for WGT. Apart from that I want to wear my emerald green rococo-jacket which still needs a skirt and a black fichu. I haven't uploaded a picture of the jacket itself yet, I think I'll do that later, although I wanted to show the whole gown when it's completed first.
The fourth gown should be 1000% goth *g* means, all over black, on a hoop skirt, a big veil and eyery little piece of skin apart from tha face covered, up to the chin

Might be that, in the end I change plans once more and exchange one gown for something that has no hoop skirt or any skirt support underneath, if there's a day with too many concerts where large skirts would be a bad idea.

And of course corsets ... I started on a new one recently, although I wanted to wait. But I just had to ... here's the story how I got the idea:
Recently; I heard about a quite new band from Russia. I first heard them two weeks ago as I sat in a friend's car as we wanted to go out in the evening. I was amazed, and I already knew the band's name but never heard some of their stuff before.
The next day I told my boyfriend and searched them on myspace and the rest of the web, and then I saw pictures .. and I fell in love with them *g*
I'm talking about Otto Dix, you really should check them out:
on myspace: [link]
and last.fm: [link]

And don't miss to see their pictures ... this guy is amazing, his outfit, his voice .. the whole music itself ... .. and once again I'm embarassed that I can't wear white contact lenses, it just looks soooooooo great

OK, back to the corset ... the next day I sat in front of my computer at work and suddendly had this idea, I hardly could concentrate on my code because my brain didn't stop working on a design for a new corset ... and it is inspired by Otto Dix .. white satin with black decorations and "blackwork"-embroidery with a special pattern
But wait 'till it's finished

OK, I'll better get something to eat now and try to make a few stitches later, the weekend is almost over *sigh*
