This is the range of hats and wrist cuffs that I have been working on. They are based on Victorian-era designs but with a modern twist to dramatically accompany Goth and Steampunk outfits. Please leave a comment below if you would like some more information or if you would like to discuss a custom-made design.

Big Goth Groove*

Erin Blackie from Death of Art
Saw some live music on Friday night, which I really enjoyed. This is the second time recently that we've been out to see some bands and it's been good. Good to dress up a bit and get out amongst it. The black dog made me a bit hermit-y for awhile there, so getting out now and then is a good thing all round. On Friday, we saw Sarah Eida, Rouge Fonce and Death of Art. All local bands and all really great, especially Death of Art, who put on a very theatrical show. They reminded me of Evanescence. They can all be found on myspace and so if you're one for a bit of a jangly guitar or a gothy vibe, I would highly recommend you check 'em out.
* This is a slightly weak play on an 80s song, "Big Boss Groove". If you didn't know that, of course, and had to read this footnote, the play would have been weaker still :)

Fangs for the Memories

I am not really one for the whole vampire craze (she says, having avidly watched Buffy, Angel and Being Human) but I have to say I love this deliciously creepy image of Max Ernst's. I am about to start reading Twilight (I tried once before and got a bit 'teen-ed' out) so this pic might spur me on to finish it this time. There's seems something slightly vampirey about the word 'spur', but I can't think what. At least I didn't say there's a lot at stake for me to read Twilight. Or that I feel like a bite ...ahem.
