Update

Here I am, with an update on how things are going!

So first of all I am happy that I might have a photoshoot on thursday.

Since it is in Holland and I need to find transport to get there, I am not sure yet, because the photographer is a photography student she also isn't sure yet wether she'll be able to get there.

But I'm sure we'll find something.

The photographer needed to pick a sub-culture that she needs 5 nice pics off, so we decided to go with lolita.

I'm gathering props right now, looking around my house what we could use.

The rest of the week I will continue my search for a new job...

I have some things printed out that interest me, I'll call the store managers tommorow and see when I can go have a talk with them about a job. I've heard that the belgian railways are looking for more staff again, so I'll be chekin that out as well.

Wish me good lcuk on that!

and finally but not least, I got my photos from the burlesque studio shoot, and I'll show you my favourite images:

First studio shoot: preview

Yesterday I had my first studio shoot ever, and since I've never done a "sexy" photoshoot, I decided to do that =D

I had a job in a butchery shop for about 2 weeks and one of the butchers was a photographer (hobby), we always kept contact after I was fired and we finally did a shoot togheter, I am super happy with the outcome of the pictures that I have seen so far!

Here are my two favourites so far:

I don't know what you guys think, but I love them!

Updated facebook

Today my batery charger decided he was tired of playing hide and seek, so I finally got to charge my batteries so I could take pictures of everything I've made.
After I had taken the photos I updated my facebook page, so everything is online and up to date right now =]

Photoshoot & new designs

Last sunday I had a photo with a friend of mine for my jewelry line "EmikoDesigns"!
I went to Liedekerke, the village where she lives, she and her boyfriend picked my boyfriend and me up. We then drove to a house that belongs to family of her.
It is an empty house, but it was still in decent condition, I actually really liked it!
first I did a look where I barely wore makeup and had my hair in pigtails to look more like "Wednesday Addams", after that I did a more gothic look.
I love the results I already got from the photoshoot.
here's a preview:

The jewel in the picture above is the only one that wasn't made by me that I have worn for the shoot. It was made by a brand called "Starchild by Saffron".

These are some of pictures I've gotten so far,
Hope you like them ^^
If you wish to see more pictures or just chek when I'll get some more of them you can always like my modellign page on facebook :

Yes yes, me without makeup looking tired as hell.

The gem on the picture is purple but I've made them also with these colors:

- Clear

- Black

-Apple green

-Ruby red

- Blue

I really like thisnew lace necklace.

Jewelry update

I have just ordered a massive load of new supplies, and some of it already arrived!

So today I have been crafting a bit with what I've recieved in the mail so far...

My battery recharger is still lost in oblivion and nowhere to be found, so I still have to make my pictures with my crappy cellphone camera...

but anyways, I made a sneek peek shot at the new jewelry

So here are a few things I made today!

I like to get it all sparkly lately...

Independence

Lately I have been feeling a strong urge for independence... again.

I don't hate living with my parents, I like them, they do good things for me and everything,

but sometimes I feel like I have to get out and go live on my own.

I imagine about a small appartement in Ghent.

I would decorate it in a victorian or arabian style, victorian is prefered though!

To be honest, I already have some stuff for my future home, like an antique mirror, victorian-ish jewelery boxes, a set of forks, spoons and knives,...

I am a huge fan of both exotic and victorian interior, so the only thing I hope is that I don't try to mix the styles and then totally screw it up. I want my place to look nice!

Just look at those beautifull rich and warm colours!

And those arches are just gorgeous, I love detailed cuttings like those.

Another thing I reall love about this style, is the lamps. I wanted to buy a lamp in this style in Istanbull, but they were -unfortionately- all overpriced!

But then again victorian interiors are very beautifull as well,

they are super cosy and elegant, though exotic interiors are also very ellegant in their own way.

I like the curtains used in victorian interior, same for the sofa's.

Mirrors are one of my favourite objects, and I absolutely adore victorian mirrors!

The chandeliers are nice too, and I like lots of sparkly stuff, so... =3

I just wish I could already have a nice appartement for me and my boyfriend, living togheter seems like a whole lot of fun to me...

As long as I get to choose the interior ofcrouse =')

Cities are prefered, I like being in cities because everything is in one place.

You only have to take a tram or buss to go shopping, no need for driving around and looking for parking all day long.

Ghent would be my first choice because most of my friends live there, I know the entire town, it is a beautifull and it has some pretty cool shops.

I would also consider Antwerp or Brussels, They are nice cities too and I also know all the shops I have to know around there.

For now I'll just have to keep dreaming,

go to sleep in my bed,

at my parents house.

I hope I'll be sleeping in my own appartement soon. <3

Nice week , car accident + jewelery update

Last week was a pretty good week, but with a downside.
I've spent my last week without a job being lazy, doing whatever I want and a visit to Efteling.

For the 1st of november my boyfriend and I went to his family where we had to watch dia's for hours, and I can tell you this: looking at your own vacation pictures is fun, but looking at otherpeople's vacation pictures just sucks...
Apart from watching vacation dia's we also watched dia's from my bf's parents their chilhood.
What I've learned from this:
My boyfriends's dad lookd like my boyfriend with a weird "beatlles" wig.


At Efteling we had a great time, we haven't qued a single line the entire day!
There were basicaly no visitors in the park, the weather was good, all the new rides were absolutely amazing and we had lots of fun!
Now I feel like going again already enxt month, hah!
But I'll have to wait till next year...
Unfortionately my favourite rollercoaster wasn't open that day.
The fairytale and laaf village were as enchanting as tey used to be, I thought they would be less cool because I'm older now, but they were still as magical ^^
We got stuck for 15 minutes in "Vliegende hollander" because of technical problems, I get this all te time. Every time I visit a thema park, something gets stuck.
Oh and I wore my newest lolita skirt, wich I adore <3



After we left the park (not even 3 kilometers) there was a car standing still on the road, we hit the brakes about just in time, but the car behind us was to late, tried to drive around us but hit one of back tires... yay!
I really was in shock at first, luckily th people who drove into us were really nice and did all the paper work properly, the person causing the accident who was standing still on the road drove off when he/she saw us getting hit.
We couldn't drive back home and to wait for somone to pick us up for two hours in a mc donalds, I ate soo much that night..


I have finally placed a supply order with a wholesaler for my new jewelery collection, everything is going to be victorian inspired. I am working with silver and glass jewels for the collection so the price is going to be a litlle more expensive than the usual things that I sell.
I asked people on vampirefreaks and facebook what colors I should use, so I took someof the most popular colors and some of the less popular colors to create a color scheme with varities.
here's the outcome:


These are all the colors i'll be using for the biggest pieces of the collection.
I hope that I'll recieve my supplies soon, so I can start making my new jewelery!

Shoots

So, since I made this blog in August I have done three photoshoot.

One with Kinga Szabo (Filth Industries), Guy de Westelinck and Annabelle D'Hont (Hoshii), and I am hoping to do some more shoots soon.

The photoshoot with Kinga Szabo took place in Ghent at the citadel parc ad at the blaarmeersen recreation parc and was kind of the typical goth shoot.

We had fun with it, she was a nice girl to work with and easy to talk too, wich I like! I don't socialize easily, but with her it just went great ^^

Here are some of my favourite pics:

The shoot after that one, was my shoot with Guy de Westelicnk.

Guy is a very friendly man who really knows what he is doing, he had a lot of equipment that I thought I'd never see in real life in one of my shoots, it was amazing. The theme was suicide, so I had to do some crazy stuff; get hung with a harnass, lay upside down on stairs of an old house,.. I also made a fake poison, haha!

It was a nice experience!

Here's my favourite pics:

Last and most recent shoot I did was with Hoshii photography, we went to Ghent (St Baafs cathedral)

I dressed up s my own interpretation of Sorin Markov, a planeswalker from the card game "Magic the gathering", well a toned down female version ofcourse...

We had a great time, Annabelle is a very nice and young girl who loves to laugh and make a fun experience out of the shoot. Since the shoot took place in a cathedral full of tourists we had some funny situations and led to some amazing photographs!

here are my favourites:
