Kaylee Skirt update! MORE FLUFFAGE!

Sunday Update. w00t.

Plus holy crap, I got a video to upload from my MacBook Pro without it speeding the video up double time! SWEET!

Vlog4 - What's going on :)

Updates updates updates!

The Silk Taffeta Elizabethan... Update!

Yep, still working on this one. I'm beading and beading and beading! Still not finished. However, I moved the front of the skirt again and reattached so it's now at a point I like! Here are some pics!

I just keep adding more and more to this gown...

So today as I was fixing the skirt and pinning the forepart to the underskirt,  I decided that the taupe trim just wasn't enough and that I had to do something with it! So here are the current update pics, finishing with a peek at the neckline trim and its beading. Yep, more beading. :)

So far, so good!

There you go folks! I'll try to take more pics as I progress. I'm mostly finished...just a lot of beadwork ahead. I have to do the beading on the skirt and figure out some kind of trim to add to the edge of the skirt. :)

These sleeves...

...will be the death of me! I've got 1.5 sleeves beaded so far! I just have the back half to go and then they are ready for buttons so I can hook them onto the gown. Have I stated how much I hate beading? Good. :)

Also, purchased a new pink Punkyfish hoodie tonight. Ugh how I love Punkyfish. Damnit. -_-;

Next weekend, I'm going to the hair salon to trim my hair and make the colour more Rose-esque. As in blonde. :)

Peacock Elizabethan - Beading details..

So I've finished beading one half of one of the sleeves for the gown and as promised, here are the pictures of the brown underskirt forepart I'm going to use instead of the ugly gold one.

Check out all of those real turquoise pretties! Along w/pearls and other beads.

The forepart itself w/the diamond cutouts - I made this a year or so ago to go with another gown that I need to redo. It's too pretty to NOT use on this one! 

Look! I finished pearling one HALF of one sleeve. *headdesk*

Pearling takes entirely too long....
