Skirts and Feathers

So in attempts to start on my steampunk outfit, I had my mama bear search through the bowels of our garage to find an old homecoming skirt she had made for me. Surprisingly it still fits. I'm going to ruche the front up so that my feet can be seen then leave the rest as is. I'm super excited about this. I loved this skirt when she made it for me originally and I'm really excited that I can give it a new life. It's taffeta a fabric that fits the steampunk time frame :)


Yesterday I wanted to kill some time and not study (like I was supposed to). I decided to start working on the hair piece I want to use until I make my headset or when I don't want to wear my headset. I took a peacock feather and wrapped some thin brass wire I found at JoAnn Fabrics. The wire is supposed to be used in jewelry making, but it works for what I want. This wire is kind of hard to see, you might want to click the picture to enlarge it.
