I carry on my back what once converged every man, body and soul submerged together in water. Say what conceals me or what I, who bear this burden, am called.

Sneaking in with a still off two from this Swordtember look! This Renaissance tunic from @thorns_clothing is just perfect for fall weather.
Here I’m wearing it with a sample soft armor piece I’m working on and my @voodooodolly starry halo. The Noli Me Tangere belts are available on her website!
I wish I had more time to take some really spectacular photos this time around but alas! I am however deep in preparing pieces for two back to back in person markets next month!
Catch me in Philly October 23rd for the @darksomecraftmkt at the Mount Moriah Cemetery and then the weekend on October 29-30th after in Salem Ma at the @salemnightfaire
I’m so excited to be able to attend these outdoor events! I’ve missed seeing people in person and getting to talk to so many other artists and small businesses! And I’m so grateful to organizers with are taking precautions and setting up outdoor events. I’ll be bringing one of a kind pieces to both events.
Lots of other things are happening in the background. Both ongoing preorders will be wrapping up soon so I’ll be able to open another for the Bise dresses and hopefully the Velvet Sylvias! That pattern is finally all set and ready to go, and I found a supplier for the most beautiful cotton velvet!
What are you excited about for fall?

Finally breaking into the @faith_schaffer #swordtember2021 prompts! Though of course I’m being a bit loose with my interpretations. Working on a lot of very exciting things simultaneously right now! The Salome preorders are coming along really quickly thanks to @suddenlypants and I’m gearing up for TWO markets in October!!

Getting ready for tonight’s update at 8pm est! Featuring the Sylvia dress in crimson linen! You may have seen it on @morgandonner and I love how she styles hers!!

I have a handful of the Black Sylvias as well (seen on @voodooodolly) would you prefer for me to list them tonight or wait until the size run is finished?

I’ll be posting previews of the two one of a kind styles for tonight in my stories, so keep an eye on those!

Unfortunately because of some shipping delays I won’t have the Clifford Blouses or the Gruoch Skirts tonight. However I will be adding them to the shop next Saturday! Apologies to anyone who was waiting specifically for those styles!

For the dragon had as aids smoke and flame, teeth and claws sharper than a shearing knife, and she had only her sword.

The next update will be this next Saturday the 23rd! There will be a handful of one of a kind pieces and Sylvia dresses in lack and crimson!

Along with the Cuirass corset I’m working on a series of Theodorè bustiers for later. This is a style I keep coming back to and I’m so happy to finally be on the verge of releasing them.
I really can’t wait for the warmer weather to finally manifest where I am. We keep diving back into cold, dark days and I’m so ready to leave them behind.

@voodooodolly is wearing the Theodorè bustier, Cloisters dress and her own new crown style with a set of hand tied stormy grey Pearl necklaces.

So excited to be part of the @friendshipflea Tomorrow at 6-10 pm here in Columbus OH at 400 West Rich on Lucas Street. It’s going to be lovely to be alongside other local queer artists and makers! If you’re in town stop by to say hello and maybe pick up a Valentine’s Day treat! I’ll be bringing a few crimson pieces made just for this event! I’ll also be bringing a small selection of my collection of antique garments. There is such a variety of vendors participating there will be something for everyone!

Do you ever think to yourself “I think it’s time to rearrange my entire studio and house.”

So that’s what I’ve been up to for the last few days. The temperature here has plummeted with a high of 13°f (-10°c) so my focus has turned a bit inward. I’m finishing up samples for the spring collection and sending the patterns off to be graded into all the sizes. I’m really looking forward to warmer weather and launching this new round of separates! I took stock of all of the pieces I reach for the most in my own closest and decided to focus on making those. I’ll be sharing previews in my stories as I get them done!

Her body is a prison in which a goddess is waiting. But there is only so much flesh and muscle can hold back before her divinity shines. “

This past weekend @lizabetroberts planned a fantastic shoot with @_embrenn365_ and a few other incredible people. Wearing a new crown from @voodooodolly
This is the first peek at a few of the pieces that will be part of the drop part of later in December! I fell in love with these metallic silks and wanted to create some swift armor looks!

The Preorder for the Black Linen Bise dresses is still going on on the webshop and on the UK only Etsy.
I realized this morning that because of the way I set up the UK listing it marked it as sold out prematurely. So that’s fixed now! And I’ve added the skirt length and the bicep measurements to the listings so anyone who was unsure about sizing can check those! If you have questions about anything else feel free to email me! I’m doing my best to answer everyone as quickly as I can!
.

Thank you all so much for all of the support! I’m always so grateful to be able to do this full time. I am planning a smaller shop update for just before the holidays. It will be mostly one of a kind pieces as I work through my fabric hoard to be able to make space for new materials! Let me know what sizes you’d like to see most for Ooak pieces!
