Updates and absence

Hey!

I am really sorry for being so abscent. But I think this blog hardly gets any viewer. That's why I hardly update my blog. Though I do update other blogs with my work like for example tumblr and The Black Cat Designs on facebook. I get a lot more response there so it feels less like a waste of time. I think tumblr and facebook also has more possibilities for my work then blogger.

Furter I want to update you about my school. I tried the entrance exam at the fashion school in antwerp, but that was way to high for me I think. I didn't succeed. So I have been doubting a lot about what I wanted to do then this year. I decided I'm going to learn for goldsmid in Syntra Brussels. I hope this will give me more possibilities on creating jewelry. I already have some ideas in mind.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully I see you soon on tumblr or facebook!

Techniques

I want to learn so much new techniques!
My mother learnt me to knit, now Saskia learnt me to crochet (but I still need to practice), ... I found out about needle point lace... And I all want to try it out!
I want to create my own laces, to use in my fashion and accessory.

Talking about accessories, this is what I wore yesterday at the bal der bals (which was a big fail):

I made it myself, but it would be even more great if I could make the lace myself too!

I also want to make a new inspiration blog, but that would be sooooo long! I am overwhelmed at the moment of the beauty of old dressmaking techniques!

Earrings

Oh god, I am so sorry I didn't update the blog anymore! I was quite bussy with school (I still am). I had a big essay to finish about black, and black in art. And now I have some other smaller essays. I also didn't had the time to draw!
But I did make some jewelry, mostly I finished some orders, but I also made a few new earrings and a necklace






I am also working on some neck/shoulderpieces. Photos of them will come, I promise! I only should take the time to find clothes that suits with it to show it off.

I would also like to ask you something. I am taking part of a jewelry contest with the theme mothers day. I made this necklace last year for my mom. I would be so thankfull if you voted for me. All you have to do is like the picture! :)

Now is the dillema of the day: Shall I draw for school, or should I make jewelry?

I also can't wait untill I'm in fashion school :D :D (If I pass the entrance exams ofcourse)
I want to make so many things right now! I want to learn to make hats! I also learnt to knit last week! I have so many ideas in my mind that i want to do!

And I should start making a black necklace that goes on everything for myself! Can you imagine that I never know what to wear for jewelry in the morning?

Thanks for reading!

Insects

These are more left overs from the homesale. Though some of these are already sold. :)

Home sale

So what have I been doing this easter holiday? Quite a lot and nothing. I havenn't got the time to work for school. But I worked on a commission painting. It ws 1m by 1m and there where too cats on it ^^ Totally my theme!
I also worked on a dress I made myself for a wedding next week. The fabric has a big world map on it! I love it!
And I also had a homesale together with Giorria Creations. We did in Ghent at her place. I made some new jewelry for it with real insects and animals in it, and they sold very well!
I have a few examples of things I made, but I should make more pictures
