I had an NPC role (Bricu) at Booyah LARP this weekend and had to whip up a costume in a day, which I inspired on rusty orc armour. That was challenge one. Challenge two was to use only use materials I had lying around. The tunic is made of two pieces of curtain sample fabric, sewn inside out and frayed at the edges with a cat brush. The messy, leather corset and bracers I still had lying around from another LARP character (Rax, for the veterans here).
The armour is made of 0.5cm high density foam, Plasti-Dip, acrylic, split pins for rivets and real leather scraps for the shoulders.

Today I sent out this Daenerys Qarth dress to Switzerland. Cotton under-dress with hand dyed and gold decorated cheese cloth over-dress. The belt and shoulders are lasered out of Worbla and the bead strings are made from beads out of my own stash.

A Narcissa Malfoy (Harry Potter) costume I made for Irene Bax, which got an upgrade last year. The dress underneath is made of light gold satin and the overcoat from nice quality velvet.
Appliques are hand cut and stitched on and finished with some cute, glass bead work.

A few weeks ago I sent out this PingPong (anime) jacket. Jacket modelled on a standard bomberjacket. It has silver lining.
The dragon patch I made from felt and detailed embroidery. It's also attached to the jacket with embroidery stitching.

Here is my own Black Swan costume. Skirt base of a Decathlon tutu, but made wider by adding more tule layers. Everything else is hand made.

Last week, I got to send out this custom Angrboda (God of War; Ragnarok) costume to Chelseabytes. She's a great streamer so make sure to give her a follow. (www.twitch.tv/chelseabytes)
We had to work with very little pictures and so had to improvise the bottom (which also explains why the bracer is missing half of it), but now the game is out, we can start working on that. Every detail is handmade, most of the jewellery details were made with Monsterclay, moulded with silicone and then made into a resin pour. (more details per picture.)
The tablet-woven belt was created by Another World Apparel and the fibula at the top of the shirt was handmade by Apolinaras Jewellery.

A fix up of Rob Dollenkamp's Broob costume for LARP, where he played an Ent-like creature. Built on a rugby set, with foam, manipulated with heat and acrylic paint.

Last week I FINALLY finished this Dungeons and Dragons 'Bag of Holding' for my friend. It took me a couple of months, because I kept running into issues. Bag making is literally solving a huge, complex puzzle that you also have to design yourself. It's especially hard when working off of a drawing design not based on a 3D object. Especially projects where you have to literally have to make every little detail by hand (from biasband to the beads), it will take a little longer than you might expect. I do, however, love making custom bags and I'm pretty content with the result. The bag has a zipper pocket, two open pockets and pen holders.

Yesterday I finished this amazing and close to my heart commission, for the wedding clothes of Vikings; Floki and Helga. The challenge with these kind of projects is the amount of hand work. I enjoyed every single second of it, though, including the belt and the flower crown. I also learned a few new techniques, which makes my fingers itch to use on one of my own Viking gowns. I also finally started using my surger. XD
Sheep shrugs provided by Larissa Maijer-van Eijk. The costumes are on their way to America as we speak, along with a project concerning Supernatural, which I will post tomorrow.

After three months, I FINALLY received my flap! As it's for editing and streaming, what better than to dedicate my first video to unboxing the laptop.Free so...
