A favor for a friend

We did some head shots for my friend's portfolio who happens to be a makeup artist. He invited us over to his place and started right away because it was raining so bad. We wanted natural source of light and yeah, it didn't happen. Bleh! :p 

Anyway, I will only be sharing a few photos here because I promised not to divulge too much about this shoot. These are RAW photos, btw. :) 

~♥~

 The mask hair accessory was designed by *eherm* ME! ^_^ 

Now available for sale in our shop Labyrinth Garden

It's been quite a while since I made something really special. :) This mask fascinator is hand painted and I added the skull cameo that I have and that's been kept in my stash for a very loOong time. I might be making more soon since I enjoyed making this. And I might be posting them in my Etsy shop. Oh, well.. Too many plans but soo little time. >_< 

OH!~ If not for this shoot, I wouldn't know how my hair really looks like. >_<

They started calling me Rainbow Brite. tsss!

Right now, my hair is turning pink and I don't know if I like it that way. I might re-color it before the PGLC Anniversary on the 29th of October. So yeah, I'll see you later again. Gotta work on what to wear for that event.  ♥

Bows and more bows

Still remember my post about my first Etsy purchase? With the help of my dear teacher, it ended up like this:

I added some details and made some accessories. It was really stressful for me since I had to work on other important things recently and that I had no time to sew. :( 

And the accessories...

shoe clips!~

Yesterday, we had a shoot with a friend. I think she's going to use the photos for a magazine article. I'm going to wait for the photos so I can share them here. Good thing Jaja took some snapshots and emailed them to me today. But I'll blog about them laterrr...

Meanwhile, here's a snap of my shoes...

Anna Sui - thrift find! ♥

I'm sure I'll be seeing you later... ^_^

That one dress...

You may have noticed the gray dress that I was wearing in the EFL header pic. That dress was supposed to be for sale but I just couldn't let it go. It was made by my teacher and was based on my body measurements since any standard medium sized dress or any clothing fits me perfectly. And because we are planning to sell it in the first place, she used the smocking technique for the back part of the bodice, so it would fit medium built ladies with a little bigger boobs than mine. I just added the details to it so it would look complete and quite loli-ish. 

Ooooh! How I love its drapes! ♥

*Sorry for the not-so-nice photo... I forgot to remove the top hat head band before taking this photo. >.<

What I love about this dress is the side drapes on the skirt part. I added tiny bows to it to make it more appealing. ^_^ The bottom frills were minimal and the whole dress has a cotton fabric lining. It's edges were over locked to avoid fraying and oh! It's fabric is more like a chiffon, very suitable for the hot weather here. :)) Here's the detailed pic.

That bow on the bodice part is detachable. 

The bows, laces, flowers and top hat were all made and/or added by me. :) 

As for the top hat, I followed Jaja's tutorial on making a Lolita accessories out of a plastic bottle. BUT, the plastic bottle that I chose wasn't as sturdy as the one she have used. Mine was a thinner type of plastic bottle and it tends to melt easy. I failed to finish the complete set. :( But anyway, I was able to finish the top hat so, it's okay, I guess. xD Next time, I'll try to make another one using a different bottle, of course. :) 

I'm still thinking hard if I'd sell it or not. Or, maybe, I should just pay my teacher for her hard work on this dress. >.< 

By the way, Jaja have not yet released the whole photo set of this shoot. I will post more as soon as she release them. ^_^

Gotta go to bed now! See you around! ♥

Us!~ ♥ It was windy and my hair was a mess! ugh! >.<
