Fantasy Leather Crowns

I was honored to be asked by Brute Force Studios to make a matching leather crown to their leather fantasy costume made for  Westcotts products  booth at the Photoshop World Expo, DC.  I also enjoyed giving a helping hand with the sewing, spraying and riveting of the leather outfit designed by Thomas Willeford.

Outfit the model is wearing is custom made for Westcott Lighting, Shot and edited by Ivan Delgado  Fantasy model: Sarah Hunter, Fantasy crown: Amanda Scrivener AKA Professor Maelstromme, Leather Armour and outfit: Brute force Studios, Thomas Willeford and help in fabrication Amanda Scrivener AKA Professor Maelstromme.

Steampunk Wild Wild West Bullet Garters.

I found this cool old tan leather holster, just the right size for a lipstick, a mobile phone and a purse. I put it together with a bullet garter belt, one for each leg and some bullet conchos.

Below are a pair of  Steampunk western style bullet garter belts I made.  Adorned with lace, bullet casings and bullet conchos.

Old creepy abandoned adventure park with an old wooden Roller coaster.

I enjoyed walking round and taking photos at the creepy old abandoned adventure park at Williams Grove. I love the old distressed wood and leaves laying on the tracks.

Spats that look great with high heel shoes.

I designed another type of spat shape, that flatter the ankle for my niece to wear with her high heel shoes.  I loved the shape so much that I made a pair for myself too in leather and spikes.

I have an exhibit at the MAD (Mechanical Art & Design) Museum

Professor Maelstromme is exhibiting exquisite items at this new Museum which opens to the public in March, located in Stratford-upon-Avon, the hometown of Shakespeare, UK

The MAD museum is a wonderful and exciting collection of machines incorporating gears, chains, pulleys and whirligig paraphernalia. The exhibits fall into three areas:

• Kinetic Art = art in motion
• Automata = interesting mechanical contraptions
• Steampunk = modern gizmos with a Victorian twist

Whitby Goth Weekend 2012

I have booked Whitby Goth weekend on 26th to 30th April 2012 and will have a stall selling there.  It is a gothic music festival in the gorgeous little fishing town of Whitby, North Yorkshire with perhaps more focus on socialising, enjoying the beautiful village and shopping for gothic clothes and items. The goths invade for two brilliant weekends a year, April and October and enjoy the Abbey ruins pictured below. Whitby is a place that is part of the storyline in the book Dracula by Bram Stoker published year 1897.
