yeah its true, I'm done with it!  I was happy till I washed it, it needs ironing, but whatever...  my dummy is bigger so ignore the pulling... (sorry I can't for the life of me think of her name! blond moment.. ;p)  the beads were silver lined but that came off witht he stain remover *sigh* but thats fine, I guess its great then that i used clear thread! ;D  (you have to look on the bright side of things)  the beads did come off, but its nothing major,  they just pulled thire knots and popped off.  this i just some of the tings I had around, she is better in life then pics I'll say that, but I'm very hapy nontheless,  I'll see how to wwork the timer soon and get pics of myslef at some point since I can't rely on fam members.. ;)  but anyways...  its all habotai and dupioni the sleeves are georgette crinckle from dharma.. the emb on the bodice was done by tambour and a little by hand, its thread and crochet thread. ;)  the crazy stitch part anyways...   personally love my little hitich in the back I have to say, I weighted it down so it will always fall like taht.  but anyways enough with me rambleing.. some of the pics were taken with flash and some w/o, here are soem quick pics in my photobucket account...

I hope that works....  *fingers crossed*  but anyways this is my inspired by the prologue, I changed my mind after trying to emb the skirts. ;p  I still have that skirt half on my hoop as a matter of fact. ;)

hmmm I can't seem the get the links working..  so I'll just give you my pass word...  its: NCC74656  sorry about taht!

almost there! almost-  but headache is attacking me. just waiting for the pain killers to work. but I have about 2.5 flowers to do then I thik the rest can be the machine.  perhas anyways.. but then I still have the beads, but tahts not half as bad as the emb.  I'm sick of it!  but then I ahve the mourning to do.  but still its not white! ;p  but anyways.. I think thire starting to work so I'm off.  or I'm gonna kill time till they full blown work. ;D

oka well, I worked on secret, got the pearls on the sleeve, so now all I have to do is emb it and sewe it on.  but that will take a tad..  I'm thinking of machining it before i chain stiotch it and seeing if the tambour will work on it...  that would speed it up a little...  I think this one will ahve more emb on it then the other sleeve but thats fine.. the orig sleeves aren't exactly like eachother either so that will add to the "hand done" look.  I have the small train hitch up too.  its weighted and emb.. I'm really likeing it. this dress is a nice blend of modern,  fantasy, victorian IMO.  and the nice organic, and machine thing too!  but I would like more emb or something on the skirts....  but I'll wait till the sleeve is done to decide.  but I really need a nap so perhaps I'll nap on it then work more.. if possible I would like to have the machine emb done by tonight.  then I can bring the hand part to work, and see if I can't get it done byt the end of this week. :)

yay!! only about 20 more "petals" to go then the inner beads then I can hem, then the sleeve, and wash... it should be done soon.

okay so I've almost finished the back of the yolk, I need to upload some pics I got this morning, but I'll get to it later...  I'm gonna try to finish the back before work.. so I guess I better get cracking!

and lets see if I can get some pics up... 
http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/secretproject/?sc=2  there!

( well I'm gonna just put it into a secret photobucket account.....  it will be in "secretproject"  I'll post a link when I get it.... )

 

I thnk I'm done with the sleeve, but I'm not sure.. I need a break from it so I can truely "see" it and then I can tell if I want to add to it... *ywan* I'm off for a nap. then work...

okay, well... Im almost done with the sleeve one! with my stroke of geinus its going pretty fast! okay my stroke, its me with my machine, I never knew I could make it do that before! I set it on small zig zag like what i did with the victory dress, and voila! I'm getting a nice small emb there, and I'm still adding little bits to it in pearl floss so that adds the 3-d to it and very nice mix of organic and machine... well I guess the orig has more organic then machine but I like it. I would post pics but man oh man its hard to get pics of! when i try with a flash its all washed out! but w/o its a little too dark to see... well I'll figure something out! (I hope) but I'm off to work on the finishing the sleeve today and i hope i have more time to do something else before bed! but if I don't at least I have one more sleeve and the skirts... I still don't know what to do with those.... but anyways.. just wanted to post this...

working on my sleeves.. I don't think it will take too long, but the design will make me work! I'll probably need to get more everything...
