Making cute things with a naughty material

Hi everyone,

I hope you arrived in 2011 in a fantastic way. Every year is exiting cause we do not know what lies ahead. I hope to get more things done than last year. I´m tired of working, getting home and than doing nothing. I wanna do more crafty stuff for my shootings. And I just started with it. With a new material to match!

Latex is a material mostly associated with dominas, women in gasmasks and a kinky lifestyle by the mainstream. However what is not taken into consideration: It is a damn good looking material, relatively easy to use and you can do cute things with it!



I bought this Latex Mini Skirt on ebay for a few bucks with the idea of making a cute and quirky girdle out of it! You can really make a bargain with those. In fact I bought a second one for 11 € including shipping to make one more!


Everything looks cuter with ruffles and hearts. I know the glue is supposed to be transparent before you stick the pieces together, but I was impatient!!!! Next time I will be a good girl cause the liquid glue can make ugly marks on the shiny material. I learned it the hard way! Note how I found an additional use for the hairclips with that I usually pin curl my hair!


I carefully marked the hem with a gel pen to glue my dried ruffles there in the most possible even way...
Tada!!! Now I will just need to make a top to go with it and add the suspenders! Ignore the glue marks on the finished result. If anyone knows a good way to get rid of the marks let me know! I already tried alcohole and water. This is the second latex piece I ever made and I will be doing a shooting with it hopefully soon!!!

Pretty little things....

Hi everyone,

I was a bit quiet lately which is due to the fact that there isn´t that much going on at the moment... Well, nothing interesting anyway. My bankcard lost it´s validity 2010 and as I still went on spending the X-Mas money that I had n cash I did not notice it until the beginning of this week. What a shock. Now I can´t get cash for some more days, waiting for the card and as John has no bank-account anyway we are stranded. Thank god I have a credit card, so I can at least pay in the super-market. It´s just blahhhhh! I really hope I get my card and the code in time for my vacation - or we are screwed.

Let´s go to a lighter subject. I haven´t done that much crafting in the past few weeks, exept of sewing fringe on, cause I was on the hunt for something. Cameos. I´m obsessed with them at the moment. They are so wonderfully old-fashioned yet chic and will make a beautifully addition to many acessoires. I have now found the perfect little set of them. And while I was at it I found cute heart-thingies that I had to have, too (thank god I can pay those via paypal ;-) So after Sweden I will be taking action again and craft my little HEARTS out (you get it?;-)

I´m also looking for some shootings right now. I haven´t shooted since a month or so, so it starts to itch in my toes. Hopefully I can fix something for February???
