Here's a video of my piece on the runway!

A family member took some clips of my piece on the runway, so hopefully you can see how it moves!  It isn't great quality, but you get the idea...

ELLE and RISD Fashion Next Show in NYC

I just got back from going to fashion week at the Lincoln center in NYC.  My work was in the ELLE and RISD Fashion Next Show!

It was really interesting being behind the scenes and getting to see my work on the runway.  I got to be backstage as they did the hair, makeup, and dressed the first models at which point we needed to go up to take our seats.  I am really glad I was backstage to help get my piece on the model, because it is a confusing piece:

My model was very sweet and easy to work with and her walk was great for the piece, I was lucky to have her honestly.  Seeing the piece go down the runway was the best part because I made the piece for myself so I had never seen it move on someone else.  It surprises most people to find out that a lot of the piece is actually flexible because it is made with sterling silver snake chain in some parts which look like wire, but it is flexible.

Fashion week was really crowded and the Project Runway Show Finale was going on in the building next to where our show was happening at the same time.  Overall it was an interesting experience and I am really looking forward to seeing the article in the October issue of ELLE for their 25th Anniversary.   Thank you to anyone who vote, I would really appreciate it!

Forgot to Mention: website

Hi,
I forgot to mention in my last post that the new design for my website will be going up in the next week, or at least some of it will be up, so here is a look at the layout as it will soon be!

Also I will be putting up some postings on my etsy soon, so take a look at those later this weekend if you like.  I will post on my facebook page and here again when they are up^.^

ps. The background illustrations were done by Ashley Dessi who is a very good Illustrator.  If you want to check out her work go here: http//ashleydessi.blogspot.com/

I will be changing the jewelry on the background girls from time to time once the website is up, so look out for that once it is up.

New Work

Hey everyone,
I am working on new pieces for the Way of the Warrior Collection: a belt, bracelet, and neck piece.  They are gonna be made of nickel, gunmetal chains, black screens, black leather, purple suede, and blue string.  The pieces are based on Tibetan Armor and Samurai Armor but twisted in a softer direction to make them a bit more feminine, but still with a harder edge.  I will hopefully have pictures of those pieces coming up this week^.^
