Description This is the first costume I have made for myself from scratch in... over four years, I think? And I am super excited to show it off.
The skirt and sleeves are made from organza, shredded and melted around the edges. The bodice and upper sleeves are three layers of stretch cotton. The tights are organic cotton hand painted to look like aspen bark. The neck piece is hand cut leather and more melted/shredded organza. Silk leaves decorate the hair. The wig is from ebay.

Thank you to my dear sister for the wonderful photos and for my lovely daughters for not being too whiny.

It sure was wonderful to do a photoshoot again, so be prepared for more of these

I love this shot! The way the organza looks so iridescent. Will you have a close up of your choker/necklace? It looks amazing.
