Christine's Weekly Best

Of course, I should have started this at the actual start of the week, but...I was tired, all right? And reading the newest Bloody Jack book, which--due to its damn cliffhanger ending--did not make it onto my list. (Do you hear that, Mr. L.A. Meyer?)

Ahem.

Here's the top three things that stole my heart for this week:

1. PROJECT RUNWAY PATTERN

Either of the shown dresses. I'm partial to the one on the left, because it's form-fitting and, without that material, really pretty. And maybe the one on the right could be given a bubble hem, or made like a tulip skirt...in any case, I'm sewing leftie/righie/both.

2. BLACK POINTY-TOE FLATS

Because, despite their unfortunate patent-leather sheen, black pointy-toe flats just completely dominate over the regular round-toe kind. Why? Three reasons.

One: Elves are cool. Elves wear pointy-toe shoes. Therefore, pointy-toe shoes are cool.

Two: They can be used as painful weapons in a pinch. (I know this from expierience. ... Kidding.)

Three: Seriously, you just look cooler when your shoe is pointy. Plus, despite how uncomfortable it looks, there's a lot more room for your toes. Plus--they're black. Black has always been the epitome of coolness. (The patent leather still bothers me, but...the pros outweigh the cons.)

3. BLUE BUNNY ICE CREAM (PREFERABLY VANILLA)

Despite the fact that I originally bought it just because of its name and adorable logo (I'm a loser, yeah, whatever, so are you), Blue Bunny ice cream--in Vanilla--gave me, like, a taste-gasm. I recommend it with brownies and hot fudge. It is the best thing in the world.

FALL FAD NUMBER EIGHT:

8. Wandering around in freezing weather wearing thin skirts and unforgiving little shoes just so

you look pretty.

On Scanning, Insommnia and Drawing

Excuse the fact that the girl on the right lacks hands (I fail at drawing hands.) Drew this last night at around 2 in the morning, due to the fact that it was really hot and I couldn't sleep. And today I finally got around to actually scanning stuff.

I'm currently working on a more Victorian-esque line, because I'm not really good at creating everyday fashions. But until then, I'll be drawing Vic's fashion prototypes on my own people in my own style. (Yes, Vic thought up both these looks, save for the hair and the sunglasses and the shoes on the girl who lacks hands ^^)

Stay tuned for more collaboration drawings and, maybe someday, a look purely conceived by me.

Cheers! To finally getting around to scanning! *raises glass of sparkling grapejuice*

These are some sketches from a few months ago. Any further pictures I draw will be outlined in marker so it's easier to view.

I love tunics! And they are really easy to create that "relaxed and stylish, yet confident" look that I love.

My sketches are either of mannequins without heads or of people with or without faces. Anything I draw is pretty much to the point, whether I want it like that or no. Yet, everything always varies. So stay tuned.

Hopefully a lot more posts to come! -Victoria

To our viewers! -
We really hope everyone enjoys our site! Starting off will be quite hard, Christine and I sort of have our own gist of things and hope you catch on and enjoy everything we will have to offer. We are currently under construction and should be adding photos and daily entries shortly (=
Getting started isn't the hardest part, by the way. We really hope you guys frequently check our posts! Not only do we have to maintain a certain amount of views we get, we're trying to get that number higher (: So tell all your friends and don't be afraid send us ideas and constructed criticism. Actually, we don't just appreciate your input, we'd prefer if you sent us anything at all! Let us know what you think. We want you to tell us what you want us to tell you! In other words, just message us! (: Even if you just want to inform us of a typo or grammatical error or anything.
Don't worry, we'll respond to whatever. Otherwise, us telling you to message us would be, in fact, pointless.

Love, Victoria!
