Ode To Persistence
Oct. 14th, 2011 08:07 pmI am so so so so so SO proud of this one. Inspired by Salvador Dali's Persistence Of Memory. The clock on it is functional and can be set to tell the time.

Oct. 14th, 2011 08:50 pm I am currently trying to plug the gap for my theatre group after our costume lady left with family issues. We are looking for someone to help out (I am working, doing a Masters and the theatre admin so cant keep this up as well) but I am rather proud of myself this evening:
DONT LOOK AT ME being all tired and hot and sweaty, look at the dress. heh. I am quite proud considering I have never made a costume like this before, and the underskirt is a bedsheet and a net curtain, the over-dress is a peach brocade effect curtain, and the top underneath is made of the curtains lining, and the gold detailing is some capitalistmas bead decoration from poundland. Its made so that its a free-size dress, fits me at size 14, up to about size 22 if I let out some tucks.
(yes we always use material that we have got from Freecycle or similar, or from charity shops)

and I am especially pleased with detail on the sleeves
