Tree costumes I made for @astarte.creative for an event in Vegas. Scroll for pics of the construction process. The most fun part of these was painting the fabric. . . . #wearableart #treecostumes #costumer #costumedesign #eventcostume #stilts #stiltwalker #stiltwalkers #natureinspired #vegasentertainment (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjs5EjFu-ik/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m feeling in the mood to make more rococo dresses… though my Artifice collection from 2019 taught me to like pastel colors, I think new things will be jewel toned.. . . .

This fabric was blindingly white before I got to it. It turned a MUCH different color than I expected, luckily it looks pretty good! And the buttons dyed to match perfectly. Photo by @ljportraits , I really love this shot. . . . #photoart #artphotography #costumedesigner #dressdesigner #handmadedress #sheerdress #wearableart #designersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpsPHKs5cv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
