I bet you thought this journal was dead
Well, you were pretty much right. I'm going to try and post in this thing again, although I don't know how successful I'll be. I'm just going to keep it to photos of my work and things related to fashion/costuming. I'm working full-time, and I do freelance things on the side, so I'm not sure how much time I can devote to this. I probably won't be responding to comments very often unfortunately.

To explain what I've been doing in the past 2-3 years.. here's the condensed version: graduated school, went to school again, graduated again, did some fashion shows, did some movies, worked at a costume shop, now I'm working at Canada's Wonderland as a costumer. I've been making corsets again lately for fun (and because I had lots of materials), not sure where it's going yet though.

To anyone who kept me on their friends list, hi again.

thanks, I might do corsets again for others in the future. I was thinking about doing it for a while and then I got a new job and had no time again. I do have some new pieces I'll be posting pics of whenever I finish them, but they're just samples I play around with.

i definitely understand; i have a relatively new job that's been working me 7 days/70 hours a week for a good part of the last year. :/

your corset is still my favorite - i can't find anyone else who makes such comfortable pieces, and the reduction and craftsmanship are impeccable!

i wore it on stage at Convergence 13 (pic in action and pic in better light, laced tighter) and at Wave Gotik Treffen 2007 (pic in action, not laced very tightly at all due to having spent 36 straight hours travelling).

Welcome back!! It's so good to see that you are doing well! :)
If you ever decide to do commissions again, let me know as I would LOVE to have another corset from you. I have never been able to get one made that fit me as well or was as comfortable as the one you made me (black dupoini with frogs over busk closures, the one in my icon!).
Can't wait to see all the wonderful stuff you've been doing.

Oh my god!!! You have no idea how myself and others have been dying for you to come back. That white medical lacing corset you made is one of my faves of all time and it's one whose fit and comfort has not been replicated. It also made the cover of Europe's Gothic Magazine in Summer 2005. I would be incredibly happy if you started doing them again for some of us ardent corset lovers.

Thanks, I liked that corset too, the ones made of simple twill always look and fit nicely. Actually now the supplies to make medical-style corsets are more widely available, so I've ordered tham and am going to experiment with them sometime in the future. I did a search for this magazine and couldn't find much, I'd very much like to see it though.

Very cool, I can't wait to see what you come up with. The magazine is predominately in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (no English version), and evidently it's pretty big glossy over there -- I won a cover model contest along with a friend while I was at the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in Germany that year. Anyway, here's a link to that cover: http://b8.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00142/80/31/142751308_l.jpg

You might be able to find copies of it on Ebay or at www.gothicmagazine.de

Wow I'm so glad you're back. I have missed seeing your designs! I was actually talking about your styles a few weeks ago as I'm looking to get an extreme bridal corset done, so if you ever take orders again then please please do let me know!

Thanks, I wish I could do corsets, because I really do like getting ideas from people that I wouldn't have thought of. Unfortunately I work full time right now and I'm only back at my home where my machines are for maybe 1-2 days a week, so it wouldn't really be fair to people with my unpredictable schedule. If things lighten up I'll be sure to make a post about it though.

What's an extreme bridal corset if I might ask? I think if I ever get married (I've been engaged forever, but lazy about the wedding details) I'll wear a white leather corset.

Welcome back! I used to read your journal when you were selling corsets, I also asked you to buy a busk for me, don't know if you remember!can I add you again? I'm going to start sewing on my own soon and you are truly an inspiration for me!
