Sneak peak

This coming Saturday, the Glenorchy wearable arts competition is being held. It is a fund raiser for the netball club. Sian has agreed to be my model, and has also entered a dress she designed herself…..here it is

The title is

“The cloud Princess”

The entry has to be put to music, so we chose the “Albatross” music by fleetwood mac,

She will also have a crown and a wand, and although you can’t see it too well in this photo the dress has pearls sewn on, and has an ample supply of glitter.

The competition rules said she had to have a significant part in the making of the dress herself, so we have been learning how to free motion stitch and sew on pearls. She can’t wait to wear it! (I just hope it lasts the distance)

I hope I’ll be able to video the actual event.

My own entry was a little rushed, in fact I actually had to submit the music first and work backwards from there. However I’m pleased with the result. I’ll show you all photo’s after Saturday.
