Costumes of our futures.
Eshe will soon send pictures of the costume...because she knows how much it means to me to have documentation.
With the cowries out of the way I turned to a costume I've been working on for me. It started as a trumpet skirt...then I reworked it a bit (because it was too loose) and put more darts and a slit in it. Then...on realizing that dark brown is my new black...because I can'd do all black in a costume...I decided I would make it into a two-piece costume.
I decided it would have a peacock motif and I ordered beads and sequins and stuff for it prior to my trip to America...and I also had plans to do some rushing (sp?) on it in dark teal.
Yesterday I ripped out the rushing I had done and decided that as long as I was making my first two-piece that wasn't a bra and belt....why not go whole hog. Cut-outs! Next time I am in Tokyo I'll pick up some power mesh for the cut-outs to keep them from stretching too wide. I may do a cut out on the other hip as well.
I need to start building my bra base.

I was also planning to do a peacock costume, even bought beads and crystals but I just can't find enough free time even to start it. Also, I got really upset while making my ghawazee coat, because I don't have a serger. Finishing trims takes too long, so instead of having fun I find myself ruining my neck over them :((
Anyway, I can't wait to see how it will look like finished. I'm so happy you are documenting everything :)

I don't know where I find time.

I found mine on a Japanese auction site and took a chance! Power currents are different here, so bringing from the US wouldn't work for me.

Brown is the new black
Re: Brown is the new black
I think browns are severely underappreciated...I also wish I could pull off a dark gunmetal velvet but the cool dark colors drain me.
Out of curiosity, do I know you via my Madison days or is this friend of friend list encounter?
Re: Brown is the new black
I just friended you on MySpace a few days back (myspace.com/inaya_12). There aren't many Wisconsin dancers around, so it's nice to make connections in the community, even if they're currently in Japan ;)
Re: Brown is the new black
OUtside of snippits on Bhuz, I have no clue what the Wisconsin scene is like, none, I started out here.
