Hey fellow artists, thanks for the continued attention :)

So sorry I've been away so much: super busy with work, love and life. And getting closer to having a studio so I can make new work! That's a very exciting prospect, as I'm mostly stuck with costuming things at home lately. Great fun, but steel is my true love among media and even my paid work only gives me so much of that to do.
In the meantime I've been very lucky to be working in a museum setting that lets me build custom mounts for artifacts, mostly out of brass, but sometimes steel. I'm learning so many new metal-working skills and for once truly enjoying my day job. Hopefully I'll be able to post some new work soon!

Happy creativity to all!

Your corset and shurg design are great. Are you ever going to make and sell them? And where do you buy the items from SuzeE 666[was that her name X3]

Thank you! I haven't made plans to turn these into production items (yet!), mostly because they are highly customized pieces. The shrug is hand-woven cloth and the corset must fit a person closely due to the rigid nature of metal. Thus both are labour intensive, which isn't bad if people are willing to pay for such. I would dearly love to make more corsets though!

As far as I know, SuzeE 666 only sells her stuff through a shop in Vancouver, BC called New World Designs. Not even sure she has anything up online, but yeah, she's brilliant.

I hope you do sometime :3 They are beautiful and i bet they would sell very well. Many people on etsy sell corsets, and jut take custom orders/sizing to make it perfect. Yeah they seem labor intensive haha, You do a great job, and I love the skirts also, such pretty work <3

Hmm, she should really start selling online so people not around the area can buy her stuff, I bet shed be popular also. Hopefully I can find a shop or two around here thats like hers :D

I hope to see more of your amzing art and clothing soon <3
