Nuit N°12

Stumbled upon great treasuries by Ludivine Machinet and Frédéric Baldo.

Goth and catacomb themes have been prevalent in the fashion industry for a while now. One such emerging brand that creates an entire line of accessories around the dark and lovely is, Nuit N°12. Clicking through their collection is like a visual poem, which indulges in the darker side of art and history.

Machinet and Baldo have created a narrative wholly their own, with the mixing of bronze, silver, grey platinum, and pink gold jewelry. Add wood and metal motifs to leather clutches, and you don't need much else to make a heart flutter with excitement.

Tuesday Musings #7

 Thanks to ParaNoire and her christmas treasuries "Longing for Spring" and "Steampunk Avantgarde" I found the most pretty things. Oh, if I had the money,.......

...I would be ruined, or... plunged in dept. 

How good then, that I have none to buy these:

via Mano Bello



via ImperoLondon


via Death Glam Couture

 
 via Homestead Treasures

 
 via another season


via Mademoiselle Mermaid



via MadMenVintage and DprintsClayful

ALSO.. again at a little nouveau... pretty pretty dresses. I would buy them all, of course.
If I had to narrow it down, these would be my favs:

 

 

 

 

So.. long time no see. 

The CopyCut Project is a bit on a hiatus, because... well, everything I say now, will sound like an excuse, and practically, it is one. 

The upcoming schoolproject will occupy me for the next weeks, and I won't hesitate to give you a view inside the mystery of the art of tailoring. This design will also be the first item available at BlackNo.1

Soon there will be an accessories series, too!

Lady Rose and myself are working on our first collection.

Here is Shalott modeling one of the headpieces:

Will be available in color soon!

In the meantime I was experimenting with shoes...

I wanted to alter my old boots and spray a lace-pattern to give them a new look, but they are gone! Somehow... they are gone. 

So, I just took my old pumps. Simply trial&error:

 I took aerosol fixative and pasted the lace gently on the shoe.

That's how it looks with grey color... i think I should have taken a darker grey...>_<

Shiny shiny with gloss spray to secure the color. Tadaaaa!

I have these shoes since summer now, but never wanted to wear them, except once. So I decided to spray them black.

Way better, I don't like the bast. Now I think the next step will be applying some lace and maybe some ribbons.

 

Imagine this lace pattern with 20-eye boots! :D

Cheers!

Engraved victorian-style Bracelets

I stumbled across these today morning, and these pieces would be a nice addition to my victorian wardrobe-to-come.

I admire the art of engraving, be it leather or silver, in general. I can imagine it is quite a fulfilling work, too. 

More information at the art of the engraver
