Here is the most recent look of my muslin mockup festooned with Art Deco buttons & a bit of lovely embroidered scallop lace:
I was in a rush taking the pics and obviously (by the back pic) I missed that I didn't quite have the top situated correctly on the form. It DOES sit straight, I swear!
I've added the final piece's buttons and lace temporarily because it's easier for me to show my ideas than explain them :D. That, and I can try out any tweaks in trim, etc before I get to the good stuff.

Here are a couple in progress pics of a Lolita style outfit I've been commissioned to create. Dunno if I'll be doing this again but it's greasing creative wheels I haven't used in a long time!
This is a pic of the 1st draft which I actually wound up scrapping half of because of my anal retentiveness attention to detail (yeah, that's it).
Muslin mock up - Front double breasted snazziness & Back lacing. 
There's a tail/skirting that I added after the above pics and there will be a skirt to match. It looks worlds different now but I've got to wait for my batteries to charge for my digicam before I can take more pics.
The finished piece will be in white cotton that has a fine allover white pattern. It reminds me of the squiggles in frost on a window. It'll have lovely art deco buttons and embroidered eyelet, scallop lace trim.
Fitting scheduled for this weekend and then I get to dive into the good fabric!
Check out the great review from SyntheticSeduction about our team swap last month!

Thanks again, Synth! xx
So awhile ago I participated in an Etsy Dark Team Swap. I was paired up with the lovely SyntheticSeduction!
I have an annoying sensitivity to non-precious metals and Synth was so helpful & willing to make sure that the necklace I wanted wouldn't make my skin cranky (my skin thanks you!). Not only did it arrive quickly but she sent me a couple extra goodies too:
My super cute bat necklace, 2 bat magnets (that are now chilling on my fridge) and a Cotton Candy scented votive candle from WorthySoyCandles (yum).
Thanks so much, Synth♥! ~Static

I just listed a new Zombie Pin, Chuck...
Chuck is so not happy about his current state. But, that's what happens when your the slowest one when the zombies arrive which Chuck apparently learned the hard way. Just because your former friends are only a *little* green around the edges doesn't mean they're any less of a Zombie.
See listing for more details: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31831620
& a Purple Flying Monkey Ornament
This was inspired by the Dresden Files series (the books, specifically) mixed with The Wizard of Oz.
This ebil yet kewt ornament is cut, pieced together and sewn completely by hand, making each one unique and OOAK!
