Moving Forward

Tue Nov 3, 2009, 6:00 PM
I started working at my old job again, its nice to have income again! Its nothing design related though, so Im still trying to find artistic outlets. Ive had a very busy couple of weeks, finished and delivered 4 commissions. We also had a bit of an apartment emergency, ceiling leaks of epic proportions, which complicated things for a while.

I would like to keep doing commissions but Im being a little more selective on where I advertise about it, since I was getting hammered with tons of ridiculous requests and people who were not actually serious about it.
So anyone want me to make stuff for you? lol. Ill do costumes, dresses, corsets, accessories, etc... anything really.

In the next week or so I want to put together a new collection of more sportswear designs to take on interviews. Ive got some nice ideas, but I have to find time to go get swatches. bah.

I still have stuff for sale on ETSY! [link]

Etsy Store and Updates

Fri Sep 18, 2009, 10:44 AM
I finally put somethings in my Etsy store [link] . I plan on putting much more in there eventually, but for now its mostly just stuff I had lying around that I made while at FIT. I also have a big bin full of Vintage stuff to photograph and put up. So expect that soon!

I am already kicking around an idea for a mini collection of dresses and tops to sell. I just have to find the time to do it.

I hopefully will be starting up at my old job again October 5th, its nothing exciting, or at all fashion related but its a great place and a good paycheck, so I am very happy they could take me back. It will give me some time to really think about how I want to proceed with my fashion career. Right now I am feeling that its a good time to try and start something online and build from there. So the next few months I want to start designing on my own and making things to sell in order to build a name and image that could one day become a brand of my own.

I will definitely keep everything updated here and hopefully some of you will want to buy my clothes! :D


Also NY Anime Fest is next weekend. LOL I haven't started my costume. What else is new! :P
