FORGE FASHION

*********************************************************************************************
I will not be taking any further orders for the rest of this year. I will however finish current orders and those already planned. I will also continue auctions/sales of my ready made items on ETSY and I will continue to show photography of my work for portfolio/online promotion while I rant and rave all over internet as usual.

I have lots of new things planned and will be working very hard again in 2010 to enhance the direction of my work for Forge Fashion.

So keep coming by for updates - I am excited about manifesting another years worth of creativity in my chosen directions :)

UPDATE
Ok better go, off to post a corset mock up and then it's on to cutting out and preparing the other wedding dress (just making sure I'm lined up for where I need to be to start 2010).

Of course after ward it is time to hang with the boy and my friends to celebrate the turn over :P

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Well you may not remember this but some time back a hairless cat jumped through my window and half scared the living daylights out of me.........it's been sometime since our first meeting (he isn't really allowed to jump the fence so to speak).
But since it is the season to be social he decided to come crash our 'happy tree friends' club on xmas day (aka the tree house which has fondly become our new tea party spot, and has until now had a very exclusive membership).
LOL.......now I have to post a picture of his royal self so you can appreciate him too......

So it looks like my holidays going to be busy with work as I have a number of orders to complete......at least that will keep me out of trouble for the next few months??

**After this batch I have decided I won't be taking any more orders for 2010, this is so I can work on some personal projects and set new goals for Forge Fashion - exciting :P

PS I should say I wont be taking any further orders.....if we've already corresponded then I've accounted for you (and I'm now booked up).

Since the exhibition at the Cloisters Gallery comes down today, I thought I would post a few pics of my display while it was there ......very glad I got my self some mannequins - they don't look too bad really, and they are handy to have (not as good as the borrowed ones from previous years, since they don't have the same squish value but I am not complaining) :D
