Water Fairy Gown Original Concept Completed June 2011 Items made: Dress, Sash This was made based on a sketch and a few inspiration pics that were sent to me. The idea was a for a water or sea sprite. The bodice is a corset-style bodice done in gradient dyed satin with lace overlay. Chiffon Grecian style sleeves and a V-neck line were added. The sash is satin and the skirt multiple layers of chiffon and organza petals with an organza train. And lots of Swarovski crystals.     Fun Side Note: I totally spazzed when I was making this and thought I had a week longer than I actually had so I had to ship the dress out early so it could be worn to the event for which it was made.  The dress was unfinished -- I hadn't put on the stones because they hadn't come in the mail yet, and I didn't have enough fabric to make the sash properly.  So the above photo doesn't have crystals and the sash is crappy.  The pictures below...

    Kitty/Animal Paws Completed 2008 Both the gloves and the boots feature two types of fur, short fur over the hands and feet and longer fur over the forearms and calves.  I thought it'd be best to keep the fur cleaner when handling things.   The gloves feature contrast fur patches to resemble the pads found on a cat's paw. The boots used house slippers as a base, over which I added "sculpted" toes-- they're not just shoe covers -- and they have boning to keep from sagging or drooping. I wanted to add in little nail tips but the person I made them for opted out of that.  However I did add eyelets so she could tie ribbon bows in them.
