belle époque pt 3



the Balanchine velvet/chiffon gown

I've finally finished my Belle Époque collection and can't wait to mail it off tomorrow!
I think I'm happy with it... although I might change my mind the next day and think its all complete crap. Evidence of this phenomenon: the first illustration is actually on a background of another piece I did a few days ago. Realizing that I actually hated it, the poor drawing met its sad ending when I spontaneously ripped it from its background. Ripped with hatred.
Well, the Nuit Blanche judges better not think its complete crap...
On the other hand, I haven't even allowed the thought that if I get selected I might have to actually make any of these pieces to enter my brain... All I'll have is one month to sew up a damn complicated mini collection! Any sewing volunteers?

  1. If you need a hand I'd love to help! I love complicated puzzles like these. Your designs are all really beautiful, I think the Toulouse is my favourite.
