Back With Many Completed Projects 

and Many More Uncompleted Ones

Wow, it's been a long time since I did anything around here! I've been busy with mainly music stuff, so creativity has not been on hold, but rather flourishing and taking new directions. I've started a band and with that learned a whole bunch of things about music production (Although my role is mainly producing demos for the band. And writing the songs.) Because of this I've also taken a newly found interest in photo editing and graphics. When I need something totally else I tend to turn to painting, mainly with acrylic paints, and that is gradually progressing too. Maybe at some point I'll show it off here.

But the main focus of this blog is handicraft, making clothes and accessories from scratch and from recycled materials, and I intend to keep it that way. There are some works that revolve around music, like costumes for music videos and a couple of costumes for a contemporary performance/music piece. Mostly I've just been making things for myself, though, and taking pictures of the process. Hopefully they are of some joy and pleasure to you!

This project is from a few years back. The shirt was found from a thrift store, must be from the eighties, or at least nineties, in mint condition. I cut off the sleeves and made fingerless gloves of them. The bow ties are from old gloves, fingers eaten away by winter. One of them was used to decorate the shirt. If it ever gets worn out, I'll be able to use the bow ties for something else.

These were madejust by forming the sleeve around my hand, then cuttin away the eccess fabric and sewing the side. The hem of the sleeve was already there, but the other line needed a trim. there's a satin strip and around the finger a piece of satin ribbon taken from some old clothing. You know, those strings with which you can hang your clothes in your closet. 

I think these would be much more comfortable if the fabric was stretchy, but they work just fine. For the perfect look, add some bracelets and rings!

I'll be bach soon with some new thingies and ideas!!
