At the frame maker

Yesterday I took the secrit projet to the frame maker. I was with somebody else who was allowed to decide the frame type (because he pays it ha ha ha). If we are very precise it is his gift so he must be allowed to influence on the outfit. The frame is going to be very massive but it fits well to some other old frames pictured on the walls this secrit projet will decorate. It was the most expencive frame work I have ever ordered but it was the only possible option at the end. Now we are just excited and worried because the frame maker was not sure has she enough that exact frame and if the manufacturer has more of it storaged. The manufacturer will make more only for the August and we need it finished before that. So, I hope the frame maker won't call me to ask what we will do...

Final stitches

My secrit project is comming to the end. There's still stitches to do but it begins to look almost finished. I ran out one shade so I need to order more of that. I have started to wait the moment I can carry this project to the framer. But, to be honest, my fingers are already hoping to start the next project which materials are already waiting. But I think I want to stitch some small project first...

I had also another bigger project going one since January. I was asked to design dresses for a ballet group. The dresses are made of organza, lace, tulle and satin. Hopefully I'll get the picture of it later on. The project included also doll dresses because dancers are carrying dolls. All the dresses are white but dancers wear pale pink tutus under it. Cute!

May Day celebration

This year I was asked to make ears for three cats. I was happy because the costumes were designed in the way that nothing is needed to buy and only ears need to be made. What a clever order. Or then they just told it all to make sure I was satisfied that only ears were needed as extra. Who knows. I designed the ears and how they will be fasten. Take a look.

They are very easy to make true. I used craft felt and stitched them in the way that after May Day celebration you can easily take the ears off but re-use again when ever wanted.
