Products Added Week of August 22nd, 2010










































There is a nice variety of new products being introduced this week. We start with our new, hand-decorated carriage parasols. They are slightly smaller to make them easier to carry in crowds, and they run slightly less in price for those on more of a budget. Remember, we can design them to fit your wedding or cosplay costume. Choose your colors, flowers, ribbons and decorations to match any costume or wedding or reception scheme.


Next are some additions to our earring and necklace lines and the second in our series of Multiple Pierced Earring Sets. The Seaweed design was our most popular of the many we carried for years and now is back by popular demand.



Gothic Lolita Black & Purple Parasol - flounced ribs - $55.00 - 26 1/2" carriage parasol. Designed for close quarters and crowds. Parasols are perfect for weddings, cosplay, anime costumes, gothic, lolita, sweet lolita and steampunk attire, conventions and vintage recreation outfits.
Gothic Lolita Black & Purple Parasol - $50.00 - 26 1/2" carriage parasol. Designed for close quarters and crowds. Parasols are perfect for weddings, cosplay, anime costumes, gothic, lolita, sweet lolita and steampunk attire, conventions and vintage recreation outfits.

The Project is done, but the work continues



And here they are - finally done, finally uploaded to the store. They turned out beautiful and I am so excited to bring them to you. They are parasols - perfect for weddings, cosplay, anime costumes, gothic, lolita, sweet lolita and steampunk attire, conventions and vintage recreation outfits. Now that I have the hang of them, I can custom make to match anyone's needs. Think of the possibilities and let your imaginations run wild.

A Bit Late, but Worth the Wait

KC Dragonfly new project preview

That rhymed...just noticed that. That's a good sign as the last time I did any large scale project, it was for our beloved Jim Carrey Grinch costume and we all know how Whos (and Whats) like to rhyme.

I am late with the update this week because of what I've been referring to as "the project". It has been eating my life since before San Diego Comic Con, has been evolving as I pushed it past the dreaded R & D "learning curve", has been lovingly crafted whilst listening to hours and hours and hours of the very best of Big Finish Doctor Who Classic Doctor audio plays (yes, go ahead and twist my arm to listen to the smooth voice of Peter Davison and his more Edwardianly evolved incarnation Paul McGann).

At last I picked up speed this week and the final construction on "the project" flew at a breakneck pace. Today I hit Costume College's Marketplace in Woodland Hills and run downtown with my roomie Darc to buy more supplies to expand the line that will be this new product for EarthDaughter Arts.

Stay tuned for the premiere of the new line this coming week (as long as the pictures and setting cooperate)

Acrylic Flowers, Kumihimo and Wire Lace, oh my!












Did anyone else local go to the Pasadena Bead & Design Show today? Love that show. Too bad it's only twice a year. Blew way too much money, as usual, even tho I was more restrained this time. I was so excited to see that the little, acrylic flowers that were popular in the 80s are back. Picked up some really pretty ones. And some Wire Lace for some focal beads.
Probably my most exciting buy was a Kumihimo Disk kit. Does anyone do Kumihimo? Do you have any ideas/tips/tricks to share? I think that and the wire lace and all the yarns I've been hunting and gathering lately will solve my dilemmas of what to use to hang my beaded bottles off of. So, if anyone else went, what did they get? What shows do you haunt near you? I've never been to a bead show outside California and I'm curious as to what's out there.
