1800s Handbag, Jazmin Andrews Dec 2017

1800s Handbag, Jazmin Andrews

Jazmin Andrews

My handbag is made of velvet, to replica one from the 1800's. It was machine embroidered with a Bernina embroidery machine using different colored threads


Armor From Julius Caesar, Jazmin Andrews Dec 2017

Armor From Julius Caesar, Jazmin Andrews

Jazmin Andrews

My last project (and second most difficult) was to create a piece of armor from the play, Julius Caesar. I chose to recreate the bodice that had a peascod belly silhouette worn by Decius Brutus pictures below.


The Grinch Feet, Jazmin Andrews Dec 2017

The Grinch Feet, Jazmin Andrews

Jazmin Andrews

I eventually drew inspiration from the costumes from Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, put on by the Theater at Madison Square Garden in NY, NY. The costumes were designed by Robert Morgan. This silhouette is a pretty simple one, with a curve at the toe.


Fox Mask- Le Petite Prince, Jazmin Andrews Dec 2017

Fox Mask- Le Petite Prince, Jazmin Andrews

I thought the most important piece was the square, so I bought a belt buckle, and re purposed it. I then painted them all gold, to match the image. I used a plastic beading cord to connect the pieces, later I reinforced them with hot glue, and a strip of warbla over than. In between pieces I beaded to keep with the regal, ruby theme constant. The back piece of the belt is a simple, …


Crown From To Be Or Not To Be, Jazmin Andrews Dec 2017

Crown From To Be Or Not To Be, Jazmin Andrews

Jazmin Andrews

The crown was one that I purchased online. It originally had a peak in the middle with diamonds, but the crown in the image is mostly one set of colors, and does not reek of gems, so I re-painted over it with a copper acrylic paint, and stippled a lighter gold shade on top to give it depth.
