There are chains in this world of which we do not approve, and then there's Bianca's chainmail (aka good chains)!! Hope you were able to put down the pliers. Excited to see the new collection! ⛓️💥😀
Wow! Your creativity and ability to make your visions real is amazing!! Looking forward to this Look Book. Meanwhile, going in search of that gun metal embossed leather.
Thank you Marcia! There are some wicked cool leathers out there in the world 🤩
Hailey Rose (@that_girl_with_the_hearse) on Instagram has been modeling some casual, daily wear, scale maille. Now you are presenting artistic, evening maille. Maybe we can bring back practical and aesthetic armour for street and office wear.
I wonder if it gets too hot in the sun, not that I go outside 😂
Wow!! You have some super fun projects going on! I'm excited to see these with their full ensembles! Your skills and creativity amaze me!
Thank you Jen! I feel lucky that the ideas never stop, but I am running into the limitations of physical body and actual calendar as usual 😅
Flipping amazing my friend….absolutely glorious 🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤
Thank you Raelene!
In Regency, it is called a chemisette. And, gorget is french, if that sounds better.
So much better in French! I shall stop pronouncing the last handful of consonants and feel all the better for it 😂
Hi, So glad to hear you acknowledge the fact that you are an artist. Also that you are ready when the call comes for somebody to come down to the precinct and be a priestess for a bit. I can't wait to see those head... things come to life. Will that first thing go over your face or is it a hood-type thing, and what's with the fringe. I can hardly wait. That might be an an extension of the hat conscience that I carry into these situations. I'm so happy that you showed the little sinamay percher/cocktail hat, by the way. I've been trying to figure out what those might look like. I don't have that thinking of an apple and seeing one mind-thingies, so to actually seeing one makes my consciousness sit up and take notice. Thank you. And I did think of a fencing mask when I saw it, too. It was just the size that threw me a bit, because I couldn't see how that could fit your face. Apple thingy again. However, I might not be able to see an apple, but I can smell quite a few different ones in an instant. I don't know how helpful that would be to humankind, or what it says about me, but here we are. Would I like to see how you made those things? Always. Of course I would. All of them. Anything that you want to show, I'll be watching. I even finish the catalogue videos you do, even if I do struggle a little because that apple thing. When you say "It comes in blue, pink and chartreuse. Yes please, one of each." I go "Hein? What?" and "Chartreuse, what's that?" until some time later when I remember my colors, and you are a few pages ahead and I have to rewind. Here is the important bit though. I do rewind, and I love them, too. So until next time, I remain yours etc, Ann
Thank you Ann! The chain mail filigree head covering things are indeed like a full face veil/hood. One of them has an open face with fringy "bangs", but the others are like veils and are sooo fun to sparkle in, but rather unpractical for any occasion I can imagine 😂
I’d love to see anything you’re working on, it’s quite amazing to see your process….i have a hard time getting started on projects. xo
Thanks Wendy! I have a hard time /stopping/ myself, and it's actually quite crucial that I learn 😬
Oh my gods, I love everything you showed. I am so excited to see the lookbook, the see your vision. It looks majestic. It is worth all the wait. I hope you can make videos about everything you showed. Also the chainmail and the lantern bag. Amazing, everything is so gorgeous. No words.
Thank you Tereza! I have some chainmail inspired necklaces coming to the channel on Monday ❤
Please walk us through how you create the filigree chainmail headpiece! It will be therapeutic to see how you fit all the jump rings and beads :)
Therapeutic to watch but my hands are destroyed, I don't know how real chainmail makers do it all the time 😬
Oh hell to the yes!!!!!!!!! This is going to be your most epic lookbook EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Alexandra!!
If someone should ask, "Where will you wear that?", you really don't need to answer them, this is after all your job. People make things all the time for work that will never have a truly useful purpose.
Fashion is just one of those half practical/half art zones where sometimes it leans one way and sometimes the other 😂
I bought exactly those connectors in gold to make myself a plaque belt for the Renfaire. Clearly you are a woman of excellent taste. ;)
Gotta have all the filigreeee!
Ermahgerd! This is so fabulous, I can't wait for this lookbook 😍😍😍
Thank you Helga!
Just tossing this out here: Gravestone handbag. Seriously, I'm so excited for this lookbook.
A good idea indeed! The HTV makes everything seem possible really 🤩
Also, it's hard to say what's worse with leather vs plastic. I don't have that answer, have you ever heard of emergy? It's a system for calculating the total impact/cost of things and it's fascinating. There's also ISO standards for doing it, it's really tough to get all the components factored in, also you're one person and this is the sort of calculations that companies and governments should be doing.
Amazing! Been waiting to be called to Arakis myself, hasn't happened. . . yet
Thanks Sarah! Dress for the life you want I say, high priestess of textile hoarding in my case 😅
Gorget is also pronounced gore-jay, if that makes it less horrible? Hahah! Can't wait for the look book!
Ah French! No last consonants, that makes far more sense yes!
Everything looks so beautiful! I'm so looking forward to this look book! Your designs are always so intricate and beautiful ⚔️👑🌊🤺🥋🗡️ Please don't drown in your creativity 🩶🤍🩶🤍
Thank you Chae!! I am reaching the "if I don't organized this room up first I may just explode" phase of creation 😅
