QUALITY COUNTS by michaela de bruce, August 21, 2014 My Dremel sanding tool works well even with the cheat sanding rings. It’s the squishiness of the tool tip itself, grippy! And that is great as there is no pressure! I am however still on the “no idea when I’ll break” line as in hello keyboard,…

ADVANTAGE, RIT.
ADVANTAGE, RIT. by michaela de bruce, August 19, 2014 Yup. The colour remover is pretty magic 🙂 I just stripped the dye out of my rayon satin and the colour run on the net 🙂 That’s a good 15m of fabric! And the satin was coral red! Currently got the silk soaking in Dylon permanent colour tiny…
NEW HORN SHAPE :)
NEW HORN SHAPE 🙂 by michaela de bruce, August 13, 2014 Very happy with the new shape 🙂 I knew my original sources were not clear enough so I aimed for narrower and with fewer topographical shapes. Now I have the nubs on the top and the extra core at the underside. The extra…

MALEFICENT HORNS PAINT TEST
MALEFICENT HORNS PAINT TEST by michaela de bruce, August 17, 2014 Dust still in my hair, respirator indentations and irritation too but I cut back the horns even further to even them. Next step is to sand off that paint and bog in all the areas I cut right through and to an detail and…

FIRST TEST PATTERN OF SEQUIN OVERLAY
FIRST TEST PATTERN OF SEQUIN OVERLAY by admin, December 8, 2014 I’ll need to tint a few more of the paler ones a touch darker so i can have a more gradual change. Will follow this pattern of overlay though, and then overlap from top to bust point as well. I do need to stabilise…
HANNIBAL/ELISSA GOWN
HANNIBAL/ELISSA GOWN by michaela de bruce, August 15, 2014 I have used more than half of the steel boning I snaffled just on the bodice. 6 bones, one each side of the zip and then side front and side back. It took the entire Canadian cast recording to just install the boning at the sides….
MALEFICENT HORNS PROGRESS
MALEFICENT HORNS PROGRESS by michaela de bruce, August 14, 2014 Started cutting the horns down to shape and to be able to be worn. I still need to cut a tiny sliver from the front and slightly more at the back and then vents in the top. The left horn base is too heavy, but…
HORNS CUT BACK
