BLUE, Maybe, just maybe, it’s another one from... Home The Original Persephone The Original PersephoneThe Goddess and the evolution of her myth I've been fascinated by the myth of Persephone for a long time. The more I study her myth, the more interesting I find it. The original Persephone was a significant figure in Greco-Roman myth. Demeter, whose name means literally either "The Mother" or "Barley Mother," was the Goddess of grain and harvest, and hence of agriculture. Zeus, also known as Jupiter, was the father God and king of the Gods, and reputed to be Persephone's father as well. The story most often told about Persephone, is that when she was a young girl, she was out one afternoon playing and wandered away out of sight of her mother. The people prayed to Zeus and begged him for mercy. And that, according to the legend, is why the seasons change. Demeter's profound love for her daughter has such intensity, it holds the power to literally change the face of the earth, overcome the machinations of evil, and help Persephone escape the depths of hell.

I love this dress; it fits me so perfectly and I haven’t had to make a single alteration. It washes really well and I’ve had quite a few compliments about it already. However, when I put it on for the first time to wear it out, I realised, because of its narrow straps, the straps of any bra I chose to wear was going to be on full display. This, of course, then set me on a journey to find a new strapless bra. The Overwire Bra The overwire bra was popular during the 1950s and created a slightly softer look to the bullet bra. Modern overwire bras are very much a niche market now and you’ll find the odd one being produced by vintage/retro reproduction lingerie companies, as well as independent designers such as Nearer the Moon. The Dita Von Teese Her Sexellency overwire bra has been around for a while but is still available on ASOS in red. The Boned Bra This Elila strapless bustier from Ample Bosom (great name!)

welcome! sad cotton candy, production design | The Fifth... Sewing Tips and Tutorials I would like to talk about a couple issues that have popped up with 1903 Trumpet Skirt - TVE21 skirt pattern. One which is entirely my fault, and the other is one which I have seen pop up a few times when alterations to this pattern go wrong. First up, the problem of..... What the heck to I do with the Placket Facing piece? I can't find it mentioned in the instructions anywhere, what did I miss? Well, you didn't miss anything. Ok, so now to the fun part. Unfortunately, in this case, the pattern ran off the edge of the paper, so I couldn't do that, and instead of offering pleated back in long or short, I just have the short version. At right, is the pattern piece I am talking about, and you can see the two options as drawn. So when people aske d if they could combine the two, apparently this is what they were thinking was the correct way to do it. This is all my fault, of course. Oddly enough, no one has ever asked about making the habit back in the short length.

The Pirate Surgeon's Journal: Writing in 17th/18th Century Style In 2007, I started the groundwork for a book on pirate surgeons. There is surprisingly little on pirate surgeons, per se, so I took up reading the surgical manuals to which a Golden Age of Pyracy (~1680 - 1725) surgeon might have had access. From reading these period surgical manuals (in pdf form), I learned some 17th/18th century text-reading survival skills. So when a topic came up on a forum where I post asking how to write in the style of people living during the GAoP, I took it upon myself to create a list of rules that could be used to write in the 17th/18th Century style. The imaginatively named "Lady Writing a Letter" by Johannes Vermeer. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Another Vermeer. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
