Christmas goods

It's kind of hard to believe but our schools Christmas Bazaar is almost here. I'm selling jewellery again. I bought some beautiful silk scarfs and turned them into pearl covers. There are many different colors and sizes.

I just love these red ones. The fabric is simply beautiful.

 I left some extra fabric at both ends so it can be tied around the neck.

The Bazaar is held 26.11-27.11 at Lahti and you can find more information about it here. I'm not able to be there myself but fortunately I have friends to help me out. Be sure to visit us! There are many great people to meet and lots of beautiful design pieces to buy.

Custom ties

Here's a custom belt and a brooch for a friend of mine. The belt is made of two similar wide ties that are cut to length and combined with a black rubberband on the back. The belt is measured to fit the waist and fastened with a hook on the front. I intend to make more belts since this one turned out great. The only prolem with these is finding two ties that are similar enough since I'm buying my materials second hand. Buying ties brand new is also an option but it's definately going to raise the price of one belt. And I really do want to keep the prices reasonable. And recycle. So we'll see what happens.

Old ones

You probably havent seen these unless you're my friend on livejournal or you've been bored enough to go trough my photobucket album. So I figured it would be nice to show you guys something I did way back in 2009 (it's been only three years?) I was working at prop department on a play called Kalevala at Lahti. It was more of a practise than an actual job though but I had a great time. I learnt a lot. Especially about how things that are made in hurry tend to break when worn by actors/actresses. And it really sparked my intrest in the field of prop making. So here you have it, my early work.

Pearls and paint

I don't think I've ever looked as cute and girly as in these pictures. It's fun though. I remember people passing me by with a friendly smile on their faces. 

This is the first part of a photoshoot series. The next one will include a 80's leather jacket and plenty of make up. 

The shoes were modified with some pearls and silver buttons and such.

No actual painting took place. Photos by Eveliina Lakso.
