Hi SG land! I hope everyone is doing ok in these weird times we are in.
It's been ages since I've done a proper blog, I think with not being able to shoot because of all that's going on I kinda felt like I didn't have much to talk about that's SG related.
As you've probably noticed, the majority of my times has been spent making YouTube videos. It's been a great way to distract myself from the world a bit and I am genuinely enjoying it. I've always loved being creative and making things and knowing that other people actually enjoy watching me fumble my way through projects is a really good feeling. My latest project has been to make a new corset. I'm going to be starting an 1880s outfit soon so needed a corset that was the right shape. I also wanted this corset to be something I could wear out too and not just be underwear. I'm so pleased with how it turned out and it also gave me a good opportunity to get dressed up full on goth which I've not been able to do in ages.
Here is the video if anyone wants to see me making a corset :)
The last thing to do for this is the flossing (decorative embroidery) and then I'll be making a lobster tail bustle which should be fun. I've never made anything like that before so it may or may not end up a disaster š
In other news, I got to actually meet another person and shoot again! š I'm fully vaccinated now so feel a bit safer.
In late June I got to see the lovely @melissalalucy again and we shot a bunch of sets. We had such a good day and it felt amazing shooting again, I was actually a bit worried that I'd forgotten how it had been that long lol. It also felt great interacting with another person irl and not over Zoom. Like I was able to feel things were getting back to normal somewhat. One of the sets we shot "Hey Ho, Let's...Get Naked!" will be hitting MR in 4 months, 2 weeks and I'm super exited for it.
That's all for now, I've not been doing much other than YouTube. I will try my best to up date more though, just with general life stuff until I can properly get shooting again.
Bye for now and stay safe,
