catspiracy Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi everyone. Here is the latest custom piece i did for a gothic/fetish male model. I made it out of a cashmere sweater, a silk sweater, faux leather, and brocade. He was thrilled! And now he's ordered 2 pairs of pants from me for his portfolio photo shoot. Something tells me I'm about to be full-time employed as his personal designer! Very exciting for me, as he pays really well and is a total sweetheart. This hoodie is named "Azrael", the good angel of death. I hope the images work! love, cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catspiracy Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thank everyone, you guys are the nicest ever! I don't know what to say. @ Marc: wouldn't it be great to design for films? I've been hoping to dress a celebrity at some point for my break. I'm so pleased that this model has chosen me, because actually goth/fetish is more along my lines than mainstream haute couture. I am very inspired by costumes in things like the lord of the rings, etc. @ Dani: I do, I design whatever people want me to, hehe. When i do a consultation, I ask them about what is their passion and what lights them up from the inside, then I make a garment about that. I am not formally trained. I have to struggle hard to create a pattern for one of my designs because I never took a pattern drafting course. But in a way, I think that enables me to think outside the box. I dress all kinds of body types, I don't need those human clothes hanger models you see in magazines. My cousin is a dancer, and she has ordered a dance dress, that I still need to design for her. Mostly, I make wild costumes. @ Bonii: Inspiration is like a garden, it needs plenty of time and TLC to thrive. I have to spend a portion of every day allowing myself to be creative, or I get rusty. The other thing is to always keep a sketchbook at hand. I like to tear things out of magazines and stick them in there, doodle, design, sketch my cats, write poetry, or journal, all in the same sketchbook. I keep them all like a library of ideas for the "dry spells" when I can't think of what to do. I'm happy to pm with you about jumpstarting your creativity any time you like. <3 That goes for everyone, I like talking about the creative process. @ Data: Yay, I'm glad the buckles are a hit. I don't buy buttons or sewing shop closures anymore at all, I go to the leather craft shop and get saddlery buckles and snaps. How long did it take......Well, I took the commission just before Thanksgiving, and took about a month for the design to fully evolve and for me to gather the materials. It was hard to find a cashmere sweater that I could afford to cut up! And then, other deadlines interfered....all told, I think i worked 2 weeks on it over the course of 3 months. That would be 2 weeks of artistic freak-out! It's hard for me to say how many hours I take to do things because the process is so manic-depressive. Sometimes I get so frustrated and think i will fail, and I waste all day getting drunk and crying. Then when it really starts to take shape, I work 'round the clock. The last two days, I didn't sleep or eat, I was chained to my machine. The metalwork can take hours of hammering. I have to pick times to do it when no one else is home because it drives the family mad. Also, i take over the dining table, and become very grouchy and yell at anyone who touches my work. Including cats that try to sleep on it, LOL! To everyone: your compliments make me feel so shy yet so proud! I am still learning to accept compliments, and yours mean the world to me. Thank you so much for viewing and taking the time to comment. I know you have a lot going on in your own lives and i feel honored that you took the time to respond to me. I hope posting things like this doesn't seem like attention seeking, but maybe that's exactly what it is??? well, at least I'm seeking positive attention. Thank you X 1,000,000! love, cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
