Cylon Hoodie

I really need to get a new tripod so I can take decent photos of myself.

This photo is from the built-in camera in my mac at work. Trying to get a photo of the jacket I finished earlier this week.



Like a lot of my stuff recently, I'm trying to clean out my fabric bin so this is made from scraps from other projects. It's black stretch velvet over... I don't know what the heck the red stuff is. It's sort of a stretchy shiny PVC on cloth. It doesn't show well on camera but it's sort of flecked like the big crystals you see in sheet metal except red.

Because of how much light velvet absorbs and how reflective the red bits are plus the weird crystal sort of structure in the red, the vents in it seem to glow and shimmer.


If I'd had a little more material, there are a few things I might have done different but with the limited resources, I'm happy. :)

That is awesome and beautiful and it goes greatwith your hair and that impish smile.

Wow, I can tel by the textures I see that that photo isn't doing the garment the proper justice. You're living in your own late 80s scifi thriller, you know that? It is the amazing year 2009, and beautiful geniuses wear post-county-road-crew inspired outfits while building a virtual world better than our real one.

Your looks are becoming more and more refined (I think it's a measure of how happy you are with yourself)... and then add this jacket and the fact that you made it for the sake of awesome, well. There is indeed Awesome in this picture.
