Outfit Eleven ~ Victorian Velvet

Okay, so there is not actually a scrap of velvet in this outfit…  I just liked the name!  >.<

I wore this outfit yesterday when I was on the scavenge for craft and sewing supplies and ended up with a stack of lace and jewellery making bits.  More on that later!   I felt it was very Goth/Victorian inspired, harking back to my Goth Lolita inspired days rather than the new found 40s gal I am slowly evolving into.

I will always have a passion for bows, lace and black ~ preferably altogether..…  ^_^

Pretty tea cup ~ I am so obsessed with fine china and this one is just gorgeous.  I collect tea cups and teapots, but none of them are in a set.  They are separates that I have gathered together from thrift stores and random junk yards instead.  o____o   I figure that way I can use them everyday and if one breaks, buy another one!  

 

Disclaimer ~ this cup is not mine though, I just borrowed it for the shoot.  Then it did not turn up in any of the photos, so I added it in at the end!   It is a bit of camera~whoring I am afraid, but I needed a picture to show you all how great it was….  >w<

Then a well deserved break from all the crafty projects and photographs is an excuse for more camera~whoring.   Plus photo spam!  GIMP is great for photo shopping.

 

xox,

P.S. ~ I do plan to do a more detailed post about the craft ideas that have been floating around and finally getting made.  You will see more detail of the things I made that I was wearing that day.   ^^
