Plus Sized Concert Dress [12 Nov 2009|12:38am] t_shirt_surgery [thealmightysei] [ mood | surprised ] [ music | ICP ] Wowzers, i haven't Posted here in.. well a LOOOONNNNGGGG time. Sorry My Bad, just haven't been sewing a lot lately.. (trying to find a job, augh!) Well, here it goes. I'm going to an ICP concert on November 17th and well its my first ICP concert and im SUPER excited which is why i decided to make a dress for the concert!! I had an old dress i got a few years ago that i never ever wear and a ICP shirt that i got at GOODWILL for $2 that was to small for me and i thought "OMG i should make a ICP dress!!". Now my Original idea was to just cut out the image on the icp shirt and sew it onto the dress..(Can you say boring?) But then i had an idea that was even better..... ((WARNING--PIC HEAVY)) ( THE ICP DRESS ) 6 comments|post comment

Hudson River Railroad [11 Nov 2009|11:35am] diymarketplace [talentshow] [[ HUDSON LINE RAILROAD. ]] The front of this notebook features one of my TTV photographs of the autumn view from a MetroNorth train along the Hudson River line. TTV stands for "through the viewfinder," in this case, that of a vintage, square format camera. This gives the images a retro feel and a variance in focus that isn't common to straightforward digtal photography. - 6.25" x 6.25" (16 cm x 16 cm) - 200 pages. - Bound with turquoise blue waxed Irish linen thread.

Batman Dress [11 Nov 2009|07:18pm] t_shirt_surgery [vegasvalentine] [ mood | busy ] [ music | The Go Go Haunters - Kill kill Baby! ] So I have a HEAP of t-shirts now, but didn't have any inspiration. I flicked through my majillion inspiration folders on my computer and finally found one I wanted to. You'll prolly remember this style of dress made by vivifromage !  I was kind of stuck, because the batman tee has SUCH a big logo, but my mum happened to be up for the weekend, and mentioned the belt idea. So here it is:: ( Please Click, you WILL love it! ) I think last time I posted here I was like 8 months pregnant or something! Well i'm STILL having to make clothes that fit me, because now I'm breastfeeding, and have been cursed blessed with some massive boobies! Oh yeh, and my hair has changed a million times since then too, it used to be black. Just trying to jog your memory! I hope ya'll havn't forgotten me! 12 comments|post comment

Done and done [10 Nov 2009|03:11pm] stencil_swap [lemonadeairraid] [ mood | accomplished ] Hey everyone! This is Beth again. I had my gig this weekend complete with my shirts! I was feeling a little bit discouraged since some people said it was going to be a really hard job, but I think I did okay for my first attempt. I made 10 shirts and sold all of them after my show. Big win for me! So I decided to take a picture of my first ever screen printed shirt for you guys. It is intentionally grungy and faded looking. Let me know what you think! ( woah! look at me! ) 4 comments|post comment

What's in a name? [10 Nov 2009|07:23pm] chainsaw_poet97  On a day where our Prime Minister got in trouble for supposedly misspelling a deceased soldiers name in a condolence letter to his mother (I feel I need to take the Guardian's point here that the man is partially sighted, so handwritten correspondence might be somewhat of a challenge), I had an interesting name-related discussion with a librarian at the American Institute while picking up a stack request: Her: (looking at my Bod Card) Is your name always spelt like that - with a small G? (On my Bod Card, the first three letters of my name read 'Mcg' not 'McG') Me: Er... No. In fact, I never spell it like that. Her: It's just that I have an Irish name too, O'Connor, and the library is always getting it wrong - my details are always spelt differently. Sometimes large O, sometimes small one. And I think it's really rude, you know? Me: Well, I suppose it shows that people don't take the care when copying out. Her: Oh, not so much that. It's just when it's a Anglicizing of a Gaelic name, and then they Anglicize the Anglicization. It just shows a lack of respect for the language and culture. Right well, to start with, I consider myself about as Irish as the Irish pub on Park End St. In fact, they sometimes have live Irish music , so maybe they beat me? I have Irish family, and am interested in the literature and culture and history - but I don't consider that I have a strong personal connection to it. I was not personally wronged by the Potato Famine. I might on some levels agree that Northern Ireland should be part of Eire, but that's an informed political position, not a claim for a reunion of the nine counties that make up my ancestral home.  In fact, I find it more culturally insensitive for me to kick up a fuss about the "English" not respecting the Gaelic heritage of my name. I don't have any right to claim something that isn't really mine - to put it crudely, Translations is not about me. This woman had an English accent, but maybe she did have some deeper connection to Ireland than I do, so I'm not going to judge her stance. But to be honest, the whole episode made me quite uncomfortable - co-opting me into a culture war that isn't mine, or not considering my family might be from Northern Ireland and so (even with a Catholic name) I might consider myself British not Gaelic. It's not that I don't agree that misspelling people's names is bad form, or even that it shows an amount of cultural insensitivity but that I was asked to play the role of the colonised in a struggle that isn't mine. I'm also not sure she'd have asked a Qureshi or a Chowdhury the same question. A Catholic name can also come in handy, though. When my boyfriend's parents came up the other week, his mum told us that his grandmother - devout Catholic from near Gateshead, in her 80s and with Altzhiermer's who I am yet to meet - had asked her if I was a Catholic. His mum told her my family was Irish, and my surname and apparently the reply was "Oh, that's all right then" - no questions about actual faith asked. post comment

[10 Nov 2009|11:53am] diymarketplace [some_person] I was shopping with my sister and she found a limited selection of crystal heart necklaces on sale for $25 (originally $50). I knew I could make something almost exactly the same for much less, and I told her so. She asked for a light pink one. I also got a few in Siam and Light Vitrail. They're so pretty, and I think they're going to make great Christmas gifts. I'd love to take custom orders of these. I can order the hearts in just about any color and right now I'm only charging $10 + $2.50 US shipping. You'll have a hard time finding something like this for such a low price. The only real catch is that it takes about a week for the hearts to get to me once I order them, so it'll probably take about a week and a half for you to receive your lovely necklace. Check out my other items for sale in my Etsy Shop too! post comment
