A tea time with alternative fashion

 Shop glazed Over

Etsy is home to thousands of wonderful objects and working at a site like this is not easy for my budged. Everyone had their weak spots, for me,  i have a lot but one of them is ceramics. It all started with my aunt start collecting mugs and cups from all the countries she visits and drink her morning coffee with one of them and then afternoon tea with another...That give envy to all of us, so I have started mine (but still have my eye on her mugs) .
As an alternative fashion person i am not easy on ceramics neither, I love Gothic, Victorian and Japanese styles and sometimes Manga designs. I also love illustrations too. Here some of the shops catch my eyes on etsy...

New Diy comming out, when?

I have started my DIY projects around September. However because of busy Holiday season I am taking a long break for DIY. However this does not mean I will not continue. I am also starting new DIY group in Bordeaux with Etsy for helping people to create their own style and have fun with creating. January I will continue with my DIYs at the blog. But before Christmas I really wanted to publish a Diy which could be great for Christmas for those mori girls, dolly kei and lolitas.Fingers cross that I will have time for it.
See you soon with new Diy s hopefully!

Winter is coming!

Deer and tree hair fork and folk stories

I realized I was Gothic when I was 16. It was not very shocking I always liked Gothic art and collected creepy things. I had also collected traditional clothes from Balkan countries. I also had a passion to wear folk styles. So my style become Gothic Balkan clothes. It is very funny but it is like an addiction how fun is to wear traditional clothing or costumes from medieval age. When I create my design i try to imagine I create a jewelry or an accessory for a fairy, fairy tale character or a mythological character. By wearing what i design I become one of them hope people shop from me feel the same too.

DIY Mori girl lace head band

This is my second DIY project this week. I am quite bust with work so I will show you something really fast and lovely: a lace headband. You will need:
1) 50 cm Lace.
2) Hot glue gun
3) Ribbon
3)Felt

First try and see how the lace fit your head. how much you will need to use ribbon. Then cut four pieces of rectangular pieces from your felt. Cut two pieces of desired lenght of ribbon. Then you will need to make your lace and ribbon into a sandwich with felt lol:) First your felt than lace then ribbon and then felt again. Then glue all of then together with glue gun. The do the same thing to the other side of the lace. Et voila ! You have a lace head band. It will fit your romantic summer look or even fresh autumn or spring look.














For dolly kei girls: Try some folk ribbons with the lace or you can add some flowers for folksy look.
For lolitas: Try some bows along the edges and with a different kind of lace you can really create a rococo look.

If you try this please send me your pics. I am quite curious to see your versions:D

Mori girl jewelery, What kind of girl are you?

A French chic, a folksy girl, love Japanese style or a sailor, maybe a rococo lover but a winter girl...Whatever you are there can be someone like you in this collection.
The Ancient Muse girl collection...
I had a lot of fun creating these girls. Hope you will find them fun too.

A little more about The Ancient Muse...

I like to listen music which helps me to journey with my designs. When I am designing something Rococo I love to listen Lully. It helps me travel back in time. But most of my cute creation come in my mind when I am listening metal music. I am a big fan of Finnish metal bands. I still cant understand the reason of this contradiction.
Tell me yours if you have some funny stories:D

Fun fashion, everybodies need

I like comfortable things, but not ugly things. I don't want to look like a potato bag but I don't want to be a Barbie neither. This is how I feel. So i choose fun fashion. Having fun with every single things I wear.
