Book Purse

Remember the Book wreath I made a while ago? Need help reminding? I bought the book solely for its thickness and coverart so I could make it into a bookpurse. And now I finally did :D The tutorial I used is made by Hungry Panda from Hungry Panda Clothing Don't worry, I read the book before I made it into a book wreath ;) It's a fairy tale book, where the tales have been rewritten so they would

Faux Fur Peter Pan Collar

2011-12-30T14:52:00.001+01:00

I decided to jump on the bandwagon and make a peter pan collar out of faux tiger fur I had lying around. I used this tutorial by Caitlin from Coletterie. This is the result! The other side I must admit I like the fluffier ones better but I had this fur and thought why not :) Might look cute on a black sweater and brown pants! If you're making this collar, here are some tips: -

Christmas Market in Maastricht

2011-12-14T17:57:00.000+01:00

Last Sunday we (my family and I) decided to go to the Christmas market in Valkenburg, a city in the Netherlands. This Christmas market is held in caves which makes it very special. We arrived in Valkenburg and people everywhere!!! We forgot something quite obvious... sunday = people free = lots of people visiting Christmas Markets = lots of people in a cave... And my mum doesn't like caves either

Monika from Sweet & Tiny and I did a birthday swap in the beginning of November. (pictures will surely follow!) Because of her love for the Japanese lolita clothing style I drew her a picture, featuring things lolita like which are Bows, Pearls and Roses ;) When I started it, I thought that it would be fun to see the progress so I filmed it.

Vampire requiem!

2011-10-28T10:37:00.000+02:00

I finally gave in and ordered the Vampire Requiem Replica from DOL. The red long one. This is the real thing, which is a dress by Alice and the Pirates (from Baby the stars shine bright); don't you just love those names :D I actually liked the short version more but it would have been to short on me. (I don't like my lolita dresses being above my knees) This is the image of the replica, the

First try at Resin

2011-10-27T06:00:00.000+02:00

Last year I bought some resin with a gift card from Schleiper. So far it's been sitting in my box for more than a year. Why you ask? Because I was scared of resin ... I didn't really know how to handle it, I wanted to try it (that's why I bought it) but still, you have to take several precautions, be precise and have patience. A few week back I thought, it's enough! and I tried resin for the

As you perhaps know, I own a second blog called All About Deco but I also own a third blog, So Why Architecture? which was formally in Dutch and about my schoolwork. Because of that schoolwork I neglected it... how ironic. Well I've decided to start with it again, one post per month or so and it will go about architecture. Things I have seen on trips, intersting articles on the internet about

Finally I'm able to post something on blogger! This thing has been giving me problems for over 2 weeks, I can't post on my own blog or comment on any posts from any blog on blogger.

Capelet: Update

2011-09-17T20:45:00.000+02:00

Like I posted here before (there's the tutorial too), I'm making a capelet from an old sweater from my mum. Starting out with this lovely red sweater. Snippity Snip, and there's the basic shape Snip to the front to open it up. This is the bottom which would be good for a cowl if you line it with fleece or something, which I'm also going to do! And all that's going unused from the sweater. I
