Character Makeup, and living Art

I have been working on a lot of make up looks, with my different classes, some light hearted and some with a much deeper meaning. I also have gotten my Beyond The Clothing Facebook group up and running, I am working on a YouTube channel, I really don't want to rush it though, I have taken a few classes on it too, I am a little nervous about it.

The look above is my take on the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, turning into a butterfly. Below is the white rabbit from the same, these are from a character interpretation makeup class.

The design below is a bit deeper, from my living arts class. It is from a painting, False Mirror, Rene Migrette.

My interpretation is the false mirror being other people words and opinions forming how I see myself. The side that has super pretty makeup being me taking back control of my thoughts and how self reflection. I think everyone has others voices as part of their inner voice to a point, unfortunately those voices aren't always pleasant. This for me is kind of reflecting on that, and showing how the things you say stay with people.

The image below is a zombie Mad Hatter, back from the character painting class, I was putting it at the bottom because there is some zombie qualities, and I wanted to warn people, I know some can be very sensitive to bloody make up. I just really loved how elements of it turned out. Its not gore really.

Month of the Military Child GIVEAWAY!!!

This month I decided to create a little gift collection of sorts that you can win by sharing the pinned giveaway post on my Facebook page and commenting on it. Super easy to enter, but a great package I think. I am going to go into a bit more detail below with each of the 4 items in the package. This is the bear, you will be able to choose from the fabric swatches below which you would like it made out of. No two bears will be exactly alike because of the fabric that is being used, some from actual uniforms, and some that is just printed, because of the design there will be some differences. (These bears are listed on the website for sale as well if you wanted to order others) Next we have a super soft toddler/lap size blanket, you can choose either purple, blue, or black. The saying is the same on all 3, 'I am resilient, I am resolute, I am relentless, I am a Military Child', all of them are the same color on the back with tossed dandelions, the official flower of the Militar...

My love affair with Candy Castle

I have been thinking about what really set me on this path with confidence and conviction; The Peppermint Swirl . My mom saw this dress and really wanted it for my sister, the pattern was purchased in January and there it sat until march with me avoiding it. I admit I was intimidated. It looked so complicated! The above picture is the one she finally talked me into making, if you are not familiar with this dress you will not realize I completely screwed it up, it is supposed to have a swirl not ruffle look. Using my moms Facebook at the time I nervously posted in in Candy Castles group, the response was not what I expected. People LOVED it, they wanted to know how I did it... What?! This mistake started a crazy trend for a hot minute. Something else happened too though, while I had cut it wrong, I made it! I made a really cool dress that Kaylee loved and total strangers were trying to copy! ME! Alyssa Cotter at 12 did that! I kept...

George + Ginger Rival Dress

This is the pattern of the month for February over at George + Ginger Which means its on sale! I am a little later in posting this than I had originally planned but still lots of time to run over and pick it up if you love it as much as I do. This style I am wearing is a sleeveless hooded option. There is also a long, short and 3/4 sleeve, hood, neckband, or cowl neck. All feature the cool pockets on the sides. This is the pocket detail, normally the line would be cleaner and the top and folded over, but I used a couple of panels I had as the pockets so I served the top instead. This Fabric is from Skylove Creations I love the style of this one, that you can use different colors and styles of fabrics to get so many different looks, make it a more fancy, or causal, perfect for work, or like this one Comic Con!
