Crafts: 2004 Archives

Napoleon Costume (mleiv.com)
Medium: Cloth Size: N/A

Halloween 2003. White vest and pants with velvet and blue canvas coat and satin sash. Fake boot tops and hat were purchased separately.

Josephine Costume (mleiv.com)
Medium: Cloth Size: N/A

Halloween 2003. Modified from a Sense & Sensibility pattern. Hair made from cheap halloween witch wigs. That was - alas! - as high as my boobs would go. I just don't know how they got them up so high back then - years of corset-wearing, I suppose.

Gingerbread Cake (mleiv.com)
Medium: Icing Size: 6" Diameter

I made this for Christmas, 1999, I think.

Xev Costume (mleiv.com)
Medium: Cloth, Fabric Paint Size: N/A

Halloween 2002. From the Sci/Fi Series Lexx. Very authentic, but perhaps a little too much skin.

Roses Wedding Cake (mleiv.com)
Medium: Icing Size: 9" Diameter

I made this for a winter wedding, 1999, I think.

Doll Head Test (mleiv.com)
Medium: Resin Size: N/A

I was experimenting with sculpture and casting to design a doll. This is just the rough draft, as it were.

Dresser Top (mleiv.com)
Medium: Birch and Wood Stain Size: N/A

The top of my egyptian-style dresser. The cartouches contain the names of my cats. The other hieroglyphs spell out "cats" in egyptian, which so far as I can tell is pronounced "MEOW."

Dresser Side Scarab (mleiv.com)
Medium: Birch and Wood Stain Size: N/A

The side ornament on my egyptian-style dresser.
