Any size, any occasion.....

I started a jewellery course in 2011 (which I was super excited about), unfortunately due to the shakey shakey earth my plans for last year ended up on their ass. Despite this how ever I am continuing to explore the Jewellery side line - DIY styles.

The wonderful thing about accessories/jewellery is anyone can wear it, generally no fitting is required and it's acceptable for nearly any occasion. So it makes sense to provide a few alternatives along side the corsetry/costumes don't you think :)

The corset bone collection is coming along nicely I have a lovely Canadian model on board for a photoshoot, so as soon as I can pin her down I should have some spanky new images of these.....may even finish a couple more by the time we get together. Here's the collection so far:-

  

Other new items include this lovely copper piece:-

And a new collection of earrings:-

Dirty Media

It's been very lovely this year with a variety of interesting new people coming into my creative circle, providing opportunity for more personal projects and playdates. After a pretty quiet and lonely time last year I couldn't be more grateful -  it's easy to get isolated as a new mum or creative individual, but as I've just found just as easy to get back on the wagon when it comes a passing if your willing and eager.

Anyway I am super impressed with this very cool post production company that one of my lovely models has become involved with, recently creating some stunning images featuring the gorgeous Lady Dread and Forge Fashion accessories/garments.

 Let me introduce you to some of  Dirty Media's work......

**In other new I hear that FataleFX and Anna Dediu's gorgeous work together (as previously posted here) has appeared on both the D & A advertising and a local billboard in Christchurch also featuring Forge Fashion of course!! Wonderful!!**

Corset Bone Jewellery 1/4"

I'm still slowly working on my Corset Bone Jewellery Collection (this entails using spiral steel bones as the base for various neck & body adornments).

Here is my my most recent addition using 1/4" spiral bones as a base:-

Oooh I'm so looking forward to making more of these - once the collection is finished I hope to get some modelled images :)

Miss Alternative Christchurch 2012

I recently supplied  some outfits for the first Miss Alternative 2012 here in Christchurch. This little event was put together in a very short amount of time - so I just have to say very well done to everyone involved!

Since I was unable to attend I entrusted the lovely Vicky Q with a few of my pieces and left the rest to her (did I already say she is a lovely lady).

Unfortunately the photos were pretty limited, but still it's great to see a little of the night:-

Steampunk Corset

I keep meaning to make this blog my first stop for updates, but somehow the convenience of facebook keeps leading me astray :S So I'm a bit behind with my posting yet again! Hence the sudden multiple postiness (lots more to come).

Lady Dread wearing the 'Steampunk Montage Corset'

(new edit)

Finally offering this in custom made sizes with an alternative fabric option (since I can't get more of the ever popular 'map' fabric), I've found this lovely Hot Air Balloon print instead - it's nice to have a choice after all!

'Steampunk Corset'

Now available in custom made sizes with alternative fabric option:-

Beautiful Barbara...

I really do love to see people wearing my creations....and thanks to the power of the internet it's still possible even when folks are a million miles away!!

In this instance my customer is actually a local, which makes me super proud because nothing beats being appreciated by those closest to you ;)
