I got the chance too wear it twice between work, and i planned to again today, but it's ben pouring down rain, so there was really no point after work today (i wanted some shots with the wattle, anyway, enjoy.<br />

So at them moment i barely use my blog since i post my kimono shots on da, flickr, and ig, 1 more seems a bit much.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking i might add in my fashion (so pics of my daily wear out of kimono) <br />
Sowing projects i'm working on and desighns i would love to make, i'll still post kimono, but lets make this a busy fun blog. I'll make an effort to post weekly. <br />
It's in my diary now!<br />
<br />
See you soon, lets see how this works out :D<br />

Ahh it's been a while since i blogged, I've been busy handing in resumes, sowing whatever i can get my hands on drawing designs, yadda yadda yadda, pretty much everything i wanted to do all last year but couldn't justify ^^<br />
I've promised a Friend of mine a Lolita shoot, so that's on the table at the moment, but I'll leave you with my most recent creation.<br />
<br />
Do you like the new layout?? The background is a sketch of a lollita skirt i want to make ^^<br />
<br />
I've loved pinstripes for a long time, and simple outfits with something small to bling them up. While I'm not good at doing that with my normal clothes, i seem to be getting the hang of it in kitsuke.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For this i chose a gold earring that has a chain tassel and a piece that clips around the top of your lobe (can't remember what it's called) unfortunately they don't often sell them in pairs, but i the same one the other day on sale and bought it so i had a pair ^^<br />
<br />
The tateya musubi came out really nicely and crisp, so I'm quite happy with that ^^ This obi is truly one of my faves.<br />
<br />
The kimono itself is unlined. I rarely line mine, <br />
1: because I have trouble getting it to line up nicely<br />
2: It's expensive ( i could be making more XP)<br />
and last but not least,<br />
3: I'm a snow Bunnie through and through, Australia being warmer most of the year, i prefer to not have the extra warmth so i can make more use out of my geometric kimono ^^<br />
<br />
I think if when i get a job they'll let me, this would be a great kimono to wear during multicultural work. Business like, but definitely quirky and kimono.<br />
<br />
If i ever made my own kimono brand, you'd probably see a lot of stuff like this,<br />
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.<br />

So, The Tuesday just gone, i had my Jap speaking exam for my final year 12 exams.<br />
It was hard going in since i was straight after lunch, and had to wait a bit outside for them to ask me to come in. By that point i just wanted to get in their and get on with ^^ <br />
Surprisingly, i think i did well. Until your tested in a proper situation, you don't realise how much you've learnt.<br />
<br />
Today, my Japanese sensei video my sister and i asking us for tips and about our experience so she could she the next years year 12 and so on, to help with their exam. I think it's a very good idea.<br />
We may upload it to YouTube, if i do, I'll be sure to post a link.<br />
<br />
<br />
I had planned on wearing kimono, but i decided after working out it would be a 1 hour drive, plus i would be hanging around for around 2 hours, on a hot Australian spring day waiting to go in, that it may not be my best plan<br />
So on that, i didn't wear kimono, but i took lots of photos ^^ <br />
The examiners seemed impressed XP<br />
<br />
My school is having a uniform free day tomorrow. I decided since it was my last day of formal school i would have a bit of fun.<br />
I'm going to wear my year 6 primary school tshirt. I laughed so hard when i put it on tonight and i still fit, the only change, is I'm no longer washboard flat XD (quite the opposite actually)<br />
<br />
This Friday is my Muck up day/ celebration day, whatever you wish to call it. I have a fantastic outfit planned for it, and I'm looking forward to sharing it.<br />
<br />
Hope your all well. <br />

Yesterday, i spent most of my free periods helping set up my schools year 12 art exhibition, I helped move across and display 90% of the photography works. Job well done XD<br />
On the other hand, my right hand now has six large paper cuts, and my nails arn't looking much better XD<br />
<br />
Tonight we made the opening and i decided to wear kimono. <br />
I chose a very special obi as it was one i made especially for my photography class from a photo of a kookaburra transferred onto calico.<br />

So i bought a Friend of my a issue of the Gothic and Lolita bible for her birthday, and it inspired a Lolita inspired kitsuke.<br />
But my hairs so long at the moment it would take hours to put curls in my hair. Enter sister! Shorter hair and twin resemblance XP<br />
What do you think of our Lolita inspired kitsuke???<br />

<br />
it's great to see all of the outfits people have been comming up for me, but what is making me even more happy is the discussion it's creating. People not wanting to contribute because they are worried about rule, or that they like me lack a sence of colour co-ordination, and like to chuck whatevor togethor before asking someone else if it looks ok. Or for those who are confident with there own styles and are giving me something of there own to create. It truly is fantastic to whatch. So i urge anyone who wants to whethor you know the kimono rules or not to have a go. This is experimentation, not critism, and the result is beutifull ^^Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12220440724429857658noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278582391851849156.post-1708960756080222482012-05-01T18:18:00.001+10:002012-05-01T18:18:45.963+10:00update ^^ah the kimono from the last post now needs a new lining due to mildew, thanks for noticing mum before it went to far ^^<br />
<br />
any way, looks like I'm in tired mode at the moment, i have 1 long sac this week and a folio check coming, as well as plans for another shoot, a need to finish the measurements for a speaker set I'm building and a general lack of time even when i seem to have some XD<br />
On the bright side i finished the first disk of final fantasy 7. It's funny how when you only play that game the full renders just look mind blowing, (even though compared to now...) anyway i can see what others saw in it in 1997, and i like it XD<br />
<br />
See you soon, maybe when i resurface next week ^^<br />

Yesterday i did a photo shoot at the local gardens with my sister, 3 friends
and 1 me.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
It was fantastic fun but i may not post any pics since 99% are going into a
folio, anyway, i managed to sit on something and I’ve had to wash my kimono.
Scary stuff since i had just re sown the hem and was hoping that it wouldn't
break any more thread. Luckily most of the stains came out with soap and elbow grease.
now all i have to do is wait for it too dry and then iron it. Crossing my
fingers i haven’t wrecked one of my favourites.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Siren out.<o:p></o:p><br />

Culminating Yesterday (21 March)As the international day for elimination of Racial Discrimination. I wanted to do something since my love for kimono is from another race.<br />I decided on My Furisode since the ribbon we were given is orange and i wanted to cary the theme. The ribbon is pinned into the bottom of my plat.<br />I'm really happy with the photo's we got of this outfit. I suggested to ryuu chan we have a shot on mum's steps, and it was just perfect.

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We left home early and were luck to find a car park around
200 metres from the Hisence arena. Which was lucky since any other car park
would have meant a trek through mud. i was in sandals T_T<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Going into the arena they had some awesome merchandise. I
posted a photo with my tail on, i hope to wear it when i next go skiing. Good
fun XD</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p>Photo thanks to my sister, on my phone</o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When we got into the stadium they had a projection of the
dreamworks logo, (the kid on the moon fishing) these projections were almost
the star of the show. They worked in beautifully with the choreography and in
one scene in particular left you wondering were the best of the action
was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were not only the scenery but
were used to hide several things until they needed to be seen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The production was started with a funny little speech
telling us the flash photography hurts the dragons eye's and since we are
traveling to the past there will be no mobile reception so please turn your
phones off (they will be useless). It was beautifully delivered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But the dragons. These were truly the stars of the show.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">First off. Most of them were absolutely massive. I am not
kidding. The first one you see is 2/3 of a tennis court. and he wasn't even the
biggest. They were so life like in the way they moved. And Toothless. Omg
Toothless. The emotion on his face was so real. even though they couldn't do it
like the movie, it was so close it didn't matter. The overall movement was a
bit lethargic, with slow and long flight scenes, which may be a bit tedious for
little kids. But i was sitting there in absolute awe of these mechatronic beast
that i nearly forgot there was a story going on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The story line pretty much follows that of the movie. They
had to change some things so that they translated better for onstage, but it was
even more gobsmacking like that. For example, instead of a book of Dragons,
they had a story teller with shadow puppets, and these puppets were massive and
pretty to look at whether you looked at the projection or<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the shadow puppets themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Speaking of Puppets there were several dragons that were
human driven puppets. You need to look them up because there hard to explain
but they were good fun to watch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">All in all this was a fantastic spectacle. The story was a
bit slow in some spots but you could easily distract yourself but loosing yourself
in the make of these dragons or use of the setting. I wouldn't recommend it for
really young children because some of these dragons are massive, and pretty
scary. One of them blew fire while flying and they had budgie burners on the
sides that did the job for them if they couldn't. I would say 6,7+ unless they
get scared easily in those few parts. All in all it's a comedy and the humour
is good. If your older and have seen the movie then i will say the movie is better.
But for me it was just a joy to see the spectacle in real life. Check it out
it's lots of fun, and perfect for a day out.</span></div>

<br />
During the last couple of weeks I have been putting together lots of kimono ensembles to use during my photography shoots this year. Since i want to have the theme of my year 12 folio centred on them I want them to not only fit into a very non-Japanese society and merge Yofuku and Wafuku so that it becomes easier to wear out.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I started with an idea for a cocktail styled dress. In my new cream ro kimono. With a black singlet dress underneath (suggestion courtesy of my mum ^^)<o:p></o:p><br />

It worked beautifully. I'm really happy with the contrast here. But that’s all of my light weight summer standing kimono I have. I want to try out some more but that’s going to need to wait till the weather gets cooler.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Other ensembles I’ve sketched but haven’t tried yet are a ko-furi, waist coat, berai ensemble. Some steampunk designs, some outfits that I need a petticoat for, and a general miss match of belts hats kimono and heels. ^^<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Keep watching and I’ll post ensembles as I try them ^^<o:p></o:p><br />

But i had a problem , i suck at colour co-ordination. There fore mi dragged my sister into helping me work out ensombles for items i already own.For it she brought in her only obi; a mens kaku obi that is stiff as all hell but a beutiful royal blue.<br />
Turns out the colour makes several of my kimono just pop, so this gave me the excuse i needed to hi jack it and try it on. XD<br />
I ended up with a cute little flat musubi that i will tutorial in the next kitsuke otaku mag, but for now enjoy the pics. ^^<br />

<br />
Kitsuke Otaku (the magazine i run) wishes to get out a tribute magazine for the late Onihide this December.<br />
If you knew him or just his work, then it would be great if you could write a comment or even an article as part of the tribute.<br />
The magazine's previous issues can be viewed here. <a href="http://www.kitsuke-otaku.deviantart.com/">http://www.kitsuke-otaku.deviantart.com/</a><br />
(i'm still improving) XD<br />

Finnaly i'm goiing to have some ladys hakkama plus a bonus 2 kimono (ko furi at that) I can't wait to get my hands on them. <br />
On the down side i have to wait till my birthday at the end of the month till i can have them since i'm paying dad back with expected b day money. And i had to pay for expensive shipping to, there goiing to be sitting in his cubourd for weeks Crys, oh well i'll have them forevor after that.<br />
<br />
This is the first one, it has white rabbits with red eyes on the sleeves witch will make it a real sentimental kimono for me since i lost my precious rabbit ruby who had this traits in november last year. The hakkama it comes with will need some ironing.<br />

Ussually were i live at this time of the year were already roasting on water restrictions and fire watch (sometimes dodge). We've had masses of rain fall so when we got home yesterday we got one hell of a suprise. We have a creek out back of our place, that often dosn't even flow since there been no rain fall. Well we found it flooded at least 7 metres out of it's bank and creepeing up the slope to our back fence. It was insane<br />

So i like kimono ^^<br />
I've been doing kitsuke for over a year now and a nice osahori still seems to evade me ( but i think it has something to do with the kimono being able to fit around me 3 times^^ and then the sudden jut of the hip) And i have recently tryed tying myself up without the help of a obimakura. It was such a loose and airy feel in comparison to my usual rib craking that i was able to move so easlily and fall alseep on the couch in it. One day you must all try it, it looks and feels awesome. But alas my kitsuke time is short during the year, as i lack either a ro kimono or a yukata that i don't call a dresing gown and we have just had our first 30 degree day with many more to come T_T <a href="http://siren10101.deviantart.com/art/kitsuke-weekend-185419810?q=sort%3Atime+gallery%3Asiren10101&qo=1">my weekend kitsuke </a><a href="http://siren10101.deviantart.com/art/kitsuke-on-a-weekend-185419287?q=sort%3Atime+gallery%3Asiren10101&qo=2">and the front</a> what you see here is my weekend kitsuke, that baby turned up at my front door last friday and like usual i couldn't get into it quick enough. Now i'm not someone thats usually for pink but it seems baby pink likes me and my skin, so i'm really happy<br />
I'm not really happy with the himo, it bunched up at the back and i didn't notice until i was all done up.and i wasn't going to udo all that effort so i ended up living it like that. I wore a makura with this one, and being enthusiatsic to get everything on and to stay in place i tied it maybe a little to tight so if i bent it felt like my rib was flexing. I've learnt not to tie it that tight next time ^^<br />
Sighning off<br />
