I started this ages ago but only just got around to finishing, it's for the lovely miss phexxie
As usual my photography "skills" have failed me haha the binding was only actually pinned down at this point so looks uneven. I was just so annoyed at having to not finish it around Christmas due to other orders and I wanted a photo >.<

This is incredible! Holy crap, I'm in love! O_O

Thanks guys :) I'm making an epic over bust in ivory and pink silk ATM with roses lots of lace and millions of beads sequins and crystals it's going to take forever.
You should Sarah there is sooo much information online about how to draft them insert busks etc and sewing chest sells all the supplies you need, she's in the uk and ships out really fast too.
I only started because I went into fabric land really hungover one day and bought some spiral bones then figured I had to use them so started googling.

Plus, it has bats, and I freaking love bats

so someone asked me to make them "two black and white and gray headbands, one with a flower and one without". and i thought that was pretty vague and i felt really creative today so this is what i came up with..

three headbands, the black and white two are tie up ones, the gray one with the white and black trim is one continuous band. and then i created two flowers, a small and large one that are detachable with buttons on the back. so you can fasten them to either of the three headbands anywhere you want, or wear the headbands plain. i hope that makes sense lol.

they are for her daughter so i hope they fit!

Thank you! The TARDIS hat is actually knit, I'm a two trick pony! :P I find colorwork is cleaner in knit than crochet, so I tend to do inlayed designs in knitting.

So i wish that I had a regular camera instead of a phone cam for this... Its a real spider, Ij ust caught this morning, and its funnel web... fully in tact (it was tedious)... turned into a necklace. Also I did not buy the chain like that I made that too. Hope you all can appreciatethe hard work I put into this and excuse the crap photos.
