Indian Peacock Dream chocker

The Indian Peacock Dream chocker is a delicate craftsmanship piece that uses several beadwork and bead embroidery techniques.
The black felt base gives support to the colourful glass beads that have been carefully distributed around several black acrylic rhinestones in a not predetermined way (the design is the result of a deft improvisation and use of colour). Beads are sewn in diverse ways to give various textures and appearances. I've used up to 14 different kinds of beads from deep blue through golden, bronze and green beads.
The special stitch on the edges gives them a neat and clean finish. This piece is also lined with black satin for durability and comfort. It's adjusted to size at the back using two black satin ribbons tied in a bow.
This cocker is valued 160€ -I'm not sure if I'm going to sell it or keep it yet.

Black tutu costume

This is what I made out of my handmade classical tutu skirt, so this costume is completely designed and handmade my me.

The bodice is made of black brocade, and features several silver thread and sequins appliques. The low neckline in the middle (the apparently nude triangle) is nude mesh and the straps are wide and strong nude elastics. The bodice closes at the back with hooks and eyes and is attached to the ornated overskirt. This one is ornated following the same style, so the appliques are distributed over a black tulle layer (this one melts perfectly with the net underneath so it's not obvious when seen from the distance) making a kind of sparkly circle over the skirt.

The bodice and overskirt set is dettachable (it's fixed to the plate with strong snap buttons, and the overskirt is lightly quilted to the net underneath so it doesn't move while dancing) so the plate can be recycled for another costume.

Here's the costume I designed and made for Silver Fairy variation in Sleeping Beauty. This is not completely made by me, the tutu skirt (the white net plate) is by Menkes - a Spanish dance wear brand. What I made is the bodice and ornamented overskirt.
The bodice is made of silver thread and grey brocade. I've adorned it using silver sequins, beads and rhinestones. The low neckline in the middle (the apparently nude triangle) is nude mesh and the straps are wide and strong nude elastics. The bodice closes at the back with hooks and eyes and is attached to the ornated overskirt. This one is ornated following the same style. I've set sword-like, spiky pieces of brocade over a silver stars printed organza. The piece at the middle front is covered with the same sequins and stones on the bodice. The rest of the brocade pieces on the skirt are just traced with sequins on the edge
