Here is the last of a series of photos taken in the spring~
(Preview pic technically being the first.)

When Ashley (the photographer) and I sat to have dinner after the shoot, we peeked through the photos in her camera and immediately this one made us gasp. I had brought this cup as a prop from my teacup collection. The color of the contacts really shown through here. I think this shot is a favorite of ours~ And so with this one I dedicate it to

's Birthday that was not long ago~ Happy Birthday~! This shot is for you~!

Enjoy~

A Little About The Costume

This costume was definitely a challenge to make and the detail of the design ultimately captured me. For the jewelry, many pieces had to be imported (some from India) and all of them were entirely arranged/made by my hand. Just the jewelry alone for this outfit took me 2 1/2 months to make. I made all the facets myself and spent hours just working on the chain links and arrangement. The jewelry consists of glass beads, metal, and even clam shell pieces. The most difficult part of this outfit wasn't the jewelry, it was actually finding the right colors for the outfit. They're so unique and uncommon, that it took me months to find each color. I had to be careful and carry swatches with me everywhere, because one slight shade off and it would throw off the entire outfit. Obviously there's no patterns out there for this outfit, so I had to draft up all of it. All the line work in the outfit itself is hand-sewn. I was hand-sewing 5+ hours at a time when doing the detailing for the outfit.

Special Thanks

Thank you!

He's so pretty. And you're so pretty. Double pretty. *dies*

*Velours-Requiem Oct 26, 2012

Oh thank you! Ah! Don't die! *Uses Phoenix Down*

~DPhomegurl Oct 26, 2012

But Xanthe keeps breaking his heart! I can't look at you and see sad Linneus in the comics! (Btw, did you read the updated page?)

*Velours-Requiem Oct 26, 2012

Oh my~ Lol well then you may not like the next picture I will be posting later today.
And yes I read the update~ My dear heartstrings.

~DPhomegurl Oct 27, 2012

(if you're talking about Tahno, he's fabulous lol. If ur talking about the undisclosed desires one, then it's like, awwww ~)

Shoot me if you disagree but I'd like to see how Xanthe reacts to Linneus leaving him / dying. I don't want Linneus to die at all, I'd rather have Xanthe Die a sl-(I just don't like Xanthe) .

RIGHT IN THE FEELINGS

*Velours-Requiem Oct 27, 2012

(No lol! I just posted it now~ I've been meaning to post it sooner but I've
been caught up with all sorts of busy work. x_x)

Hahah~ Well we'll just have to see~

I do feel sorry for Xanthe... As for reasons why, I can't say I'm afraid.
The poor guy just has a lot on his shoulders and is very back at expressing himself obviously.

~DPhomegurl Oct 28, 2012

(Oh Cold is your Silence. Its' good , I love the jewelry. Did you make all of it yourself?)

For me, there's a difference between Tsundere and just being a Jerk. I keep having the feeling that his (Xanthe) father's death had to do something with it. I just wish he could say something nice to Linneus.

I don't understand why people hate Yvette so much though.
