🤩 Gods, that’s cute! And honestly, so practical for events when you can have/only want a wee clutch bag but still need/want to carry key items.

Recently went to a concert venue who was Strict for bag size and that would work perfect for that kind of setting.
(Have you done wrist straps before?)

(Unrelatedly, as it came to mind while gleefully making a MESS in Satisfactory - which fyi Effel 65's Europop soundtrack is Chef's Kiss for Satisfactory "work")

Maybe make some Hades/Melinoe 5 colour flame flowers with silver moon dangles? A nod to the SIlver Sisters?

A series of black-and-white pattern fabrics, next to pieces of red and purple fabrics.

Red and purple pair so strikingly well with black’n’white patterned fabrics.

Ahhh, the Closing Ceremonies (and well, the opening ones too) had some delightful costume works. ✨

I love it. ✨

Right??? I was saying the same thing to some one yesterday. 😆 "But what if.... MORE?" Doubles Skeleton... Triple Luge... Synchronized Big Air Snowboarding/Skiing... 🍿👀

Watching game play of Silksong, rather gives me the Itchy Sewing Fingers. No ideas remotely fully formed or even if they would be actionable, but there's a handful of full cosplay designs that are simmering in my head.

... I should mood board them/"sketch" them out one of these days.

A trio of purple, white and lettered beaded bracelets, spelling out “Zenith” and “Ghost”, “Respite Spitalfields”, as well as a keychain with various trinkets and a vinyl record spacer.

(2/2) Oh, and the bracelets I strung for myself, and well as the keychain I assembled (and painted in the case of the vinyl record spacer) for my little mini-wallet I could carry in the venue.

A body chain of silver metal chain, and metal components, inspired by a rib cage/clavicle bones. It sits upon a black t-shirt with ruffled epaulets on the shoulders.

Concert Accessory Details: #thebandghost "Skeletal" Body Chain.

Made from the pieces of a necklace I owned (thick chain/3 large triangle components) reworked with more chain, metal/glass findings, a black stone sun (Peacefield ~🎶) - that also attaches to fabric epaulets I made for the shirt.

A silver triple chain necklace with three pedants - two red resin white mage job stones in red and white, and a dark grey ffxiv emet locket.

A red shawl with a large felt white mage job stone applique, with a red flower at the side.

A white clutch purse with red triangles, and a gold strap handle, and a keychain with various charms.

This was... an amazing weekend. Was fortunately enough to be able to attend both @ffdistantworlds.bsky.social and #thebandghost Skeletour concerts on back to back nights in Toronto.

DW was elegant, victorious and just a *little* cheeky. Ghost was feral, playful and oddly emotional. ❤️

Soon. ✨

... But like, I really enjoy Ice Caps in the winter...

A cream and gold fabric clutch purse, work in progress.

Another little clutch bag in progress, who started out as a fabric place mat - cream and metallic gold. Just the false closure, and the keyring charms to do.

Wonder if that brilliant green mat is still at the shop... it might make a cool Sabotender bag.....

A white and blue fabric pinwheel clip, that is placed upon a dungeons and dragons character sheet.

My Air Genasi has a second option for her dice bag topper - a pinwheel clip that is a nod to her Tempest Cleric holy symbol, which in game isn’t always moved by regular wind alone.

Working on some wee bracelets to bring to Ghost to give away at the concert - the gifting/exchange of little trinkets is such a lovely expression of a fan community, I can’t help but want to offer a little whimsy into the world.

A red pashmina scarf with the final fantasy white mage icon in white and black.

Just letting the rhinestone dry but my White Mage Pashmina is effectively done. ✨

Excellent.

Final fantasy White mage inspired clutch purse. ✅

Symphony outfit is coming together.

A white fabric placemat, red and white glitter felt and gold elastic.

Time to take a $2 fabric placemat and some glitter felt to make a clutch purse. 👁️👁️🪡🧵

A keychain made of silver metals, purple beads, and a moon and ghost charm.

Assembled a little fancy key chain for my small clutch wallet while I wait for the glue on the rhinestone flat backs on my cuffs to dry.

*hums along to Ghost, attaching more trimmings to her concert pants*

Oh, the one with the planetary symbols with a crack down the summoner symbol? That bag has LORE attached to it, and it's gorgeous design. 😶✨

Peak is a delight. 🧐

Thank you! ✨

I'm having fun with the flavours, since the basic (and very easy) batter is a simple buttery cookie, and originally (From the 60+ years we've used it in my family) was rolled in chopped nuts -so I'm trying different "Roll it in's".

Mebbe a chocolate one next year...

Pina Colada and Apple Cider thimble Christmas cookies - Gluten Free edition!

For my mom's best friend, who's been so wonderful to us, over the past year and it's challenges. Very happy how they turned out, since I haven't tried this flour swap before.

House smells really good. ✨

Playing lots of Hades 2 (So Good), of course means the itchy sewing fingers. Both in adapting a Melinoe costume, (inspired by the Red Carpet artwork that was released) and wondering if I should make some gradient fire-fabric circlets again. Loved those. So many burnt fingers/time, but loved those.

Ha, I feel you on that one! 😆

Ghost:

Oh. ohohohoho. I need to clean up the excess chain dangles - (keeping them on just to fine tune the fit to Me vs The Dressfrom, then they’ll be removed.) - but, I think it’s… kinda awesome? Added the shoulder loops and now it’s actually Bone Structure but Abstract better.

“This needs more clavicle” the Bag Witch mused muffled thoughtfully, around a few sewing pins haphazardly being held in her lips, both hands full of jewelry pliers and silver findings. “Which is a totally normal thing to say.” She added, looping more chain around the dress form.

😍 How do your creations get even more amazing??? That's Stunning. ✨
