Embroidery - Mission accomplished

Can't believe I've finished it! 102 hours of work - thought it would never end :-0))) Have fitting with a client tomorrow. Still have to put it all together, but the hardest part is over ;))) Hope she likes it, although...

Embroidery

Had to pause developing my collection for a couple of weeks as I'm full on working on different kind of project involving my another favorite technique - embroidery. This time I'm making and embroider the bodice of what's going be a wedding dress (Yepp, black with multicolored embellishment - is in fact a wedding dress :)) for a client of the brand I work for - Romance was Born. I'm using plastic raffia as main material for this project with addition of some traditional embroidery threads like wool, cottons and ribbons.



Have been working on it for over 30 hours so far and much more to go, but I'm getting there ;)

Will keep you posted ;) xoxo SheverDUSHKA

My recent works _Pearly King

Pearly King Jacket_Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness, May 2011
And one more post for today.
If you noticed in the previous post I placed photo of Luke & Anna with Cate Blanchett. The fact is that their label Romance was Born has collaborated with Sydney Theatre Company (which belongs to Cate or her husband if I'm not mistaken) to create costumes for one of their coming plays
Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness
I beaded the Pearly King jacket the guy on the photo is wearing :)))

That's it for today. See you very soon!

My recent works_The Oracle S/S 2011-12

The Oracle S/S 2011-12 (Romance Was Born), Sydney, Australia, April-May

That was also a very exciting period, as it always is during preporation for the fashion week show.
These are images of garments I personally work on making. (Although, I participated in making some of the others at some stages (mostly patternmaking))

Dress primarily made for Art&Australia



It is Body & Skirt. I made and beaded the body ;)



Here I made the base for all the "feathers" to be attached.
The "feathers" are crochetted by Luck's mum :)


These outfits were beaded abroad but I made the hair skirt which gave me a headache backstage as I had to follow model and give the skirt a continious haircat )))


A-lister's at the show ;)
Anna & Luke(Romance Was Born) with Cate Blanchett


And just me backstage )))


There are photographs from the show

My recent works _ Nespresso

Hi, again!

While I've been out of covering my activity for the last 6 month it doesn't mean I've been doing nothing. And although most of my recent works have nothing to do with felting or shibori but I indulged myself with beading and other sort of embellishment working on some projects with Australian duo Romance was Born. There some of them ;)

Nespresso, Sydney, Australia, (December 2010)

Anna & Luke received project to create 3 extravagant dresses for launch of Nespresso flagship shop in Sydney made predominantly from coffee pods.
I worked on 2 of them - gold/brown and pink/red/violet ones.
That was fun experimenting with unusual materials )))
There are some photos:
