New Items in my Etsy Shop!
There are finally new items in my Etsy Shop! Yay!!! It's been a pretty busy summer and autumn, as I'm sure you can all tell, so it's taken me a while to get anything new up. But, I hope it's been worth the wait! The emphasis in most of these new pieces is winter, and most of the pieces are definitely bridal.
Thank you to Hairspray Revolution for doing the lovely dewy makeup and gorgeous hair for this shoot! You ladies are amazing, and it's nice to finally meet you in person!
What do you think of the new pieces, dear readers?

New Items in my Etsy Shop!
The Seamstress of Avalon had a very busy weekend (so busy I ended up getting sick!) I had my most ambitious photoshoot yet, with two themes: Goth Princess and Vintage Circus! it's amazing what you can do with some fabric, lights, and a fake trapeze;)
There were several new collections represented: The Steampunk Collection, The Goddess Collection, Wednesday's Child, and of course, more Bridal! Look for more items in the Steampunk Collection in the months to come; I only had time to finish two before this shoot!
The octopus and raven skull on these pieces are hand-sculpted by me, baked in the oven, and then painted. They're my favorite pieces, I think!
Yes, I had to model one of the pieces myself! I couldn't resist;)
Even Sebastian got in on the fun! He was so well-behaved too;)
I'm gearing up to apply to the Renegade Craft Show in a few weeks, so these pics are just the boost I need to get fired up, finish my lookbook, and get a stellar application out there. Wish me luck!
What do you think of the new pieces, dear readers?

So many feathers, so little time . . .
So, a friend contacts me on Friday with this message: "I have a box of 30 year old dyed ostrich feathers, and I don't have a use for them. Do you want them?" Um, yes, please! There are feathers of soft pink, salmon, baby blue, bright turquoise, and butter yellow, and there are quite a few ivory ones too. I made four new pieces this weekend with them, and my brain is bussy with ideas for more. I'm waiting on a few consignment decisions, so I haven't posted anything new to the shop in a little while, but hopefully I'll be putting up some new items soon;)

Aaannnddd . . . . Ta-dah!!!!
I got the last piece for Tabitha's bridal headpiece yesterday, and decided to just jump in and make it! I was careful at each step to let her know what I was doing, so she could tell me if she liked or disliked something; the last thing I wated was to get it done and have her unhappy with the results! But, I think you can tell from the picture above that she likes it!
I started with a Fosshape base which I curled over my knee and covered in white 100% silk duchesse satin with a white felt backing. Then, I hand-curled three white peacock spears--not bleached feathers, mind you! It pays to know the difference: white peacock feathers are naturally white, as they come from a white peacock. Bleached peacock feathers tend to look dirty beige; not at all what I wanted here! Thank you Susan from Peacocks Forever for your fabulous feathers and even better customer service!
To the curled feathers I added vintage velvet millinery baby's breath from Japan, and one white peacock sword feather. I stitched gathered white birdcage veiling to the base and then sewed on a vintage Art Deco dress clip, the same era and style as a beautiful brooch we just found for Tabitha's dress. Lastly, a metal comb was attached to the back, and Ta-dah!!! I'm so glad she likes it! Now, we just need to get a nice hatbox for it, and stash it away for the next 9 months . . . .
Oh, and A's reaction when he saw it? I quote: "It's very white." Men.
What do you think, dear readers?

Custom Piece for the Bride that started it all . . .
I've lost the attribution for this one! If anyone knows who made this, let me know!
I'm starting to give serious thought to Tabitha's wedding piece.
From the beginning, I knew I would be making her a piece to wear at the reception, and I started to formulate plans about what I would do. I've had a lot of fabulous inspiration along the way:
.
I'm itching to get started, and from some of these pics, you can probably see the direction i'm heading in . . .
