Skirt of a little vintage bride's maid dress. I love the petticoat peeping out from underneath. 

I took three pictures of the dress. The one on the left is available for licensing through arcangel.com

The skirt is only available as print on Society6, Redbubble. DeviantArt, Viewbug, Artflakes, and Crated.

Another a digital collage of images from various (vintage) resources, including some I bought, some which are in the public domain and some from The Graphics Fairy, Vintage Printable and Karen's Whimsy. I added my own flair and and imagination and a little magic to make this. 

Love is so often dependent on the ideas of love we have and mostly it's those preconceptions that kill love because it's so hard to be something you're not...

I've always loved this stock image. It's so cool, but I couldn't think of anything to do with it, because it was perfect as it was, however, then this idea came to me. It reminds me of the scene in Gone with the Wind where Scarlett makes herself a dress from the drawing room curtains. I love the make and mend idea behind this and the fun red shoes. A girl doing for herself and having fun whilst doing so. :-)

Trust - Photo Manipulation

Sometimes trust is like throwing yourself of a cliff - exhilarating and scary at the same time. :-)

Now for a bit of Art: Snow White's Dress

Been painting again. Sometimes I just have to. :-)

Wish I had the patience to sew those dresses I design, but I just don't. If anyone out there feels like making the dress, drop me a note.

Here it is - The definitive Snow White dress. A bit tongue-in-cheek, but I like playing with cliches. This one comes complete with coffin necklace, poison apple in a bag, and a detachable poisoned comb. Oh, and don't forget the target for the heart, a little helping hand for the hunter...

Read a cool version of Snow White by Neil Gaiman recently. Very different from the Grimm's original... Definitely worth a read. If you're interested, check out his website, and this is the book with the Snow White story in it. He has a way of playing with cliches and fairy tales I really like.

Thank you!

Thank you to all of you (you know who you are) who supported me and sent me e-mails to enquire how I am and why I am not blogging and posting on the various mailing lists. It was much appreciated and made me feel much, much better. :-)

As a little thank you, here's the Titania dress I designed a little while ago, dedicated to all of you:
