Heh, it’s ok. My red eyed Blue Mosaic is comforting me. 😉 I know there is another Poad coming on ebay sometime that I am going to go after so I’ll save my moolah for that!
ghostndragon wrote:wow! You made that in less than a week???
Yep. Two days actually. Well, two nights; I work a full time job too. 😉 To be fair I’ve had this pattern for 5 years now and have made a lot of these gowns for myself over the years so they go together pretty quickly. It was just figuring out what color goes where that was tricky as well as switching between black and red thread all the time!
So I found some gorgeous red silk in a remnant bin last week & decided to make a new gown for an even this past weekend. I originally planned to make it a normal black/red parti colored cotehardie & put my black unicorn & red roses on the bottom front of it to make it heraldic. Once I got the black and red silk sewn together though all I could think of was ‘This is what Harley Quinn would wear if she was going to wear a cotehardie!” So I changed the design; added diamonds and swapped out the coloring on the sleeves & came up with this:
The dress also has long, hanging sleeves (which you can’t see above as they are behind my skirt) that I added diamonds to the bottom of as well:
(there are red diamonds on the black side right near the center seam but they are hard to see in this pic)My Hubby’s favorite charchter is Harley & even though he is away in Sweden for a few more weeks he sure let me know how much he liked it when I sent him the first pic! Many other people at the event loved it as well.
i already have plans for a Dark Phoenix and Poison Ivy cote in the works. 😉

Now see I like the layout, but the red eyes do nothing for me.
The red eyes are my least favorite part too. 🙂
heh, the red eyes are what clinched it for me! 😉 The coloring reminds me a little bit of the Black Peacock but the eyes are my fav!
Got my goodies this week from Sagiaparri & finally was able to take some pics last night!
Here’s a pic of all my goodies:
Included in there were some yummy chocolates, some of my favorite kind of blooming tea in a flavor I hadn’t tried yet, a pretty hand made hemp necklace in my favorite colors and a wall hanging rack! 🙂
Thank you!!
Ok, posting my first (& only!) non-Windstone sale post so I hope I don’t break any rules. 😳 Hoping to raise funds for a Poad or two so fund will be going to Windstones! 😉 I have quite a few things for sale in a bunch of different places & I know a lot of people here have various interests so I thought I’d give you guys a crack at them too. 🙂 So here we go!
ALL PRICES ARE SOMEWHAT NEGOTIABLE!! (Higher cost items more so than the lower ones)
Mina’s Green and Gold Silk Velvet and Dupioni ‘End Gown’ from Bram Stoker’s Dracula – $400 (The materials alone cost me more than that!)
A very detailed replica of the green velvet gown Mina wore at the end of the movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Made with deep green high quality silk velvet and shimmering gold dupioni silk this is a high end replica for sale at a deeply discounted price due to having been previously worn. Some of the fabric covered buttons need to be replaced (not shown; picture was taken upon completion of construction); you can either make more of the covered buttons or choose other buttons to use (button replacement will be done by buyer). High collar in the back with double layered long flowing sleeve. The under sleeves are meticulously hand pleated to match the ones in the movie; kind of hard to see in this photo but the entire under sleeve is pleated!. Completely lined in gold silk dupioni as well.
This was made for a very slim person; here are the detailed measurements used to create this gown:
Bust: 32 inches
waist: 25 inches
hips: 33 inches
bicep: 9.5 inches
Shoulder to elbow: 13 inches
shoulder to wrist: 22 inches
underarm to waist: 9 inches
waist to floor in front: 43 inches w/o heels, 47 inches with heels
waist to end of train in back: 48 inches w/o heels, 52 with heels.
Hollow of throat to where buttons start: 6 inchesLinsner’s Dawn Green Battle Goddess Costume Armor – $350
Up for sale is a replica of Linsner’s Dawn Green Battle Costume & Armor. Very detailed and crafted to look as close to Linsner’s illustrations as possible.
Included in the sale is the full green outfit with detachable back half skirt. Made of satin, hand piped with pleather and stretch velvet at the lower arms & calves for ease of wearing under bracers & boots. Snap closure at the neck. Leather ‘codpiece’ intricately etched with roses and vines is sewn on as well. Also included in sale is the hip armor and the bracers. Made out of hand formed leather, the hip armor closes with a leather snap on one of the rings while the bracers lace closed. Armor is covered in high sheen silver leather paint that as you can see from the photos really looks great.
PLEASE NOTE: The Boots and the fleshtone leotard with skulls are NOT included in the sale price. If you really want the boots (ladies size 9) please contact to discuss the price. Gloves and pleather calf covers are not included either because I have no idea where they are. 😉 I have one of the pleather calf covers that I can include for ease of replicating new ones or can make you new ones for an additional fee.
Sizewise this costume is about a 10-12 but very adjustable because of the open front. Can get exact measurements for serious inquiries.

The wigs will need some restyling.

Corset has been sold separately; can be remade in the same or different colors for $350.
Light Green Silk Hand Beaded Cloak – $75
This is a real silk cloak I made and wore once years ago. Made of a lovely sheer silk which I then hand beaded to add sparkle to it; there is a sparkling bead in the center of each of the flowers. It’s soooo pretty & such a shame that it’s just sitting in my closet!! Made to go to almost the floor on me; I am 5’5 for reference. Can get measurements for interested buyers. FYI, the middle picture shows the color best.
Red Black Rose Tribal Belly Dance Headpiece Yarn Falls – $50
Rose headpiece custom made for me in 2007. It’s all black, red and silver. It came to me with different roses that I wasn’t 100% fond of (I am very picky when it comes to what my roses look like!) so I removed the ones there and replaced with these very full, very realistic looking blooms. Headpiece base is a wire comb headband with all decorations wired onto it. The red & black yarn falls in the back are 30 inches long.

LOL, that’s because she is staring at the treats my Husband was holding in his hands just off to my side. 😉 Pearl loves getting dressed up I think because she’s associated it with attention and treats. XD
Yep, I made that. The tassels are actually on a long triangle shaped piece of fabric that I tie around my hips over the skirt. 🙂
It’s ok; I’m totally not upset with ou but rather the whole situation. My family looks down upon me for dancing my Hubby likes it for the wrong reasons (well to an extent). it’s just frustrating. I apologize for getting upset. I know it wasn’t your intention to upset me at all 😳
I would be *very* happy to talk more on the subject with you. 🙂
