Panda Dress

Before the green dress earlier. I also made a panda dress. I called it panda dress, because it has black and white color. ...
well actually my client had the idea. and because I made a mistake with the size, so I made another one for her. Thankfully the size fits me and the wrong size is mine. hehe.. (I hope I don't do this often or I'll end up having a twin, because I made 2 same clothes.


* with Jessica at a friend's wedding

* I made a few alternatives for her, and she chose the left one.  


Greeeen

I love green. maybe that's why -after I looked at my closet- almost all my clothes are, you know...green.
and again, I made another green mini dress..
A simple A-line, 60's inspired, mix it with batik. Lovely. Very casual.




and to complete my look I made a necklace. made from deconstructed bracelet. a "thank you gift" from a friend's wedding. Then I'm adding two Kanzashi I just learned no so long ago. I guess it's quite ok. remembering i'm not an accessories designer.

flowery brooch

I learn something new after seeing Vogue Pattern, a Kanzashi. Kanzashi is a traditional Japanese art form of folding and stitching flower petals. Use it on jackets or shirt, as jewelry or to embellish home decore. Nice magazine. 

I made this flowery brooch for my client. as complimentary. 
With a Swarovsky in the middle (green) and Black flower brooch with silver-gold button and sequins. 




and I made a few more for my experiment thing..



for more kanzashi flower making you can go to here or here. Happy crafting!!
