Workin for a livin

So, the idea that struck is still in the initial stages...it will work, but getting supplies donated is going slow. (I need a metric ton of neckties)

Working on some really cute shrugs and have about 7-8 monkeys almost done. I also think I've worked out the design issues with my purses, so should be back on those soon.

Love it when things start to come together!!!

Inspiration

Love it when inspiration strikes. :-)

Why is it that my best ideas come from dreams? (eg: surprise wedding!)

You know how you can sorta dream as you are falling asleep? That happened last night, and fortunately I remembered it.

Off to the thrift stores for supplies!!!!!!

Back to life...back to reality

Had some computer SNAFU's that left me unable to log into Blogger for a while. I accidentally deleted the file that had my passwords in it and when I updated my browser, the cookies were eaten. (that will teach me to keep my passwords in a text file and not on paper)

Anyway.

Back to updating.

I've been working my butt off lately, unfortunately it hasn't been on stuff for the site. On the other hand, I've gotten a huge upgrade to my skills. In the past few months I've made a gold brocade cassock and an 18th Century servants gown. Oh, and two rockin corsets and a tutu. Yay for working in the university costume shop!

The gold cassock - Theatre UAB - Scenes from an Execution - Fall 2008

Corset, Tutu, Necklace & Crown w/Veil - Marci Agnes Designs - Day of the Dead 2008

Corset - Marci Agnes Designs - 2009 (yep, that's little ole me)

18th Century servants gown - Theatre UAB - The Rivals - Spring 2009

Add in some bellydance costuming (pantaloons, skirts and hair flowers mostly) and some actual bellydancing and I've been one busy monkey.

Next week is spring break (yay!) and I plan on finishing all the wonderful goodies for the store. See ya soon!!!
