The original Pic

I completly forogt to upload the original pic my friend Achim draw for me. He did a great job, didn't he?

Dressing up: Continued

Here is the jacket. I am astonished the the fabric structure shows so well on the pic.
I used fake leatherstrips to make those loops. First I thought about just putting strips on the front, so that the jacket would be closed by knot and bow, but, no really, no, that wouldn't have matched a wild and dangerous demonic Angel of Earth.
The jacket has a high colar and long sleeves. I am still not certain wether to leave the sleeves as they are or put a ribon at the wrist and draw it together to make it bunch around the wrist. But for the moment, it is fine as it is.
And this is what he looks like with the fur waistcoat over the jacket. I descovered that I shoud have made the armholes a little bit bigger, but it isn't too bad.
As a worrior angel he has to have an armor. These ovals were part of a belt which I cut appart. I will attach them new with fake the same fake leather strips I used for the jacket and hopefully it will look like an armor in the end.
This is just a test, not the finished armor. It really does look like a kind of breastcover, but isn't big enough to really protect him. Got to work on it a bit more.

Dressing up an Angel of Earth

How to dress an Angel of Earth? Well, with lots of browns and furs and leather. After searching through boxes and boxes of fabric and material and some more shopping I came up with a lot of different materials and fabric. Some are shining, some are dull, soft and fury or rough. I even got some really soft leather. From left to right: brown velvet, fake fur print, a cream colored loose woven fabric, dark brown taft, another fur print, teddyplush and real leather which is very soft.

First material I choose was for making trousers. I wanted them to look a bit like harem pants, so I had to choose a soft and shining material. See, dark brown taft is perfect for this.
After putting an elastic both in the waist and at the ankle of the trousers it does look like a kind of harem pants.
But only pants is not enough. And I have so much materials and fabrics left to use. So I decided that he will have something made from the fur print. And what better than to give him a long sleeevles waistcoat?
This is what he looks like at the moment. The next clothes I make is going to be a shirt. Though I am not certain what to use for it. The cream colored fabric that looks like something homespun and homewoven or the leather? Better to sleep over it.
But I am absolutly certain that he will get boots made from that teddy plush!

Angel of Earth

This will become the second of those six angels I have planned to make. This one will be the angel of Earth, wild, untamed and dangerous.
To make him look the part I thought to use real fur for the hair and bought some sheepfur with really long tresses. It looks so good and wild and untamed and has never seen a brush or a comb. Perfect material I thought. But sadly, my friend who I make this angels for, is allergic to wool. So I had to search for different material for the hair.
See this? It is some longhaird mohair plush. I glued it to the head and used the glue and hairspray to style it. Not as good as the fur would have been, but it will do.


Close up of the face. I am afraid the mouth became a bit to feminin for a male angel. But his eyes shine really cool red with that glitter I used.

Golden Angel part three

These pics are taken with my new digicam and show the golden Angel in all his glory. Please note the details of the wings. The pattern was stitched with my sewing machine free hand.


Here you can see how the wings come out through slits in the back of the clothes. Theoretically you can undress him. But I wouldn't recomend it.

All that is missing his his bow and a quiver and arrows.

Inumimi

Now Inumimi has her own cardigan, it just took me a while to make one. Sadly the first one doesn't fit proberly, it is a bit to big for her. So I made another one.



The new one looks much better. It has an hole pattern which looks much nicer than the simple one of the first cardigan. The only thing missing are the buttons and buttonholes.
Isn't she looking cute?

Finished!

This is where I work on my dolls and other stuff. I have two huge tables, one for cutting the materials and the other one for my sewing machine and the overlook.
