MASKED BURNERS

by

I don’t want to drown this blog with pictures of my Burning Man gag masks, but here are some of my favorites.

Burning Man is held in a desert, which is prone to dust storms, so proper face covering can greatly improve your comfort (just because you can’t see further than 30 feet doesn’t mean you don’t want to party).

And even when the air is clear, these masks are great for freaking out the other Burners on the dance floor.

I use recycled fabrics for the bases, and pick the elastic, zipper, and threads to suit my mood. The straps are adjustable bra straps, so each mask is pretty comfortable.

They are all up in my Etsy shop now! [the green one sold out already!]

STORY OF THE RUNNING WOLF

by

Back in March I was contacted by one of the members of Story of the Running Wolf to make a centaur costume for their upcoming music video. I had a great time working with Jeff on the design. The glorious beast makes his first appearance at 1:49.

I’m also an extra in the Masquerade scene, wearing a blue and gold, triangle and spiral jacket (that will be posted after some modifications) and a pink mask.

 

There was a premiere party last weekend at the Sayer’s Club in Hollywood, which was fancy and had super yummy cupcakes.

I’ve since made more costumes for Jeff and Josh. Our aesthetics really compliment each other, and we all have a good time giggling during fittings (my husband included!).

RAINBOW BALLOON PANTS

by

I made these pants for Burning Man 2013, but they were also great for New Year’s Eve.

The metallic rainbow fabric is just that, found in the clearance section at Joann, back in 2010. The teal waistband is a wonderful modal jersey that is now all gone from my fabric cabinet (but I also have two shirts and a turban from it).

I’d been planning on making balloon shorts out of this awesome metallic rainbow stripe, but felt that night-appropriate pants would be more spectacular. My #1 dream would have been to line the shorts with hot pink silk charmeuse to feel it sliding against my skin with every little step, but at night I tend to wear plain leggings underneath the genie pants for warmth, and so I simply used a striped cotton that was taking up space in my fabric annex (cardboard box under my desk).

I’ve been stash busting for a few months now, and I’m gaining a lot of momentum. And free space! Free space in my sewing cabinet, but not in my closet…
