Garterbelts and Gasoline Festival 2011

Finally. I managed to get some photos off the camera from the Garterbelts and Gasoline festival on Mount Tamborine the other weekend. I also got to model my first Miss Rockabilly clothing creation - Cherry Print Skirt with red satin bow.

Pity the petticoat underneath kept slipping. I must invest in a fluffier high quality one. If anyone knows of good quality petticoat suppliers please let me know! It might become like a handbag and shoe obessesion - one of every colour!

Great Live Rockabilly Band!

Over the weekend I discovered a love for Rockabilly music. Yes I know... having an interest in Pin Up and Rockabilly I should ... but the Drey Rollan Band really set high standards at the Garterbelts and Gasoline festival.

Check out them live!

1950s Hair and Make Up

So this was my first official attempt at 1950s hair and make up for the Gasoline and Garterbelts festival over the weekend. I have more photos with the Hot Rods just have to get them off the camera.

This is me... showing off my new Swallow Resin Ring and Cherry Earrings. The skirt is cherry print too... but more pics to come soon!

Gasoline and Garterbelts Festival

This weekend is the Gasoline and Garterbelts Festival on Tamborine Mountain.

Hopefully there are still tickets at the door for the Rockabilly night at the pub. Sunday should also be a great day...  I am looking forward to seeing all the hot rods at the showgrounds with a photo shoot lined up with the fabulous Helen McLean! Very exciting.

Resin Resin Resin

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter! I went a little resin mad and now have a lot of sanding ahead of me... here are a few creations that will be sold under my other label Noogal Creations (feather jewellery)

How to Make a Rat... no not a marsupial... for vintage bangs (fringes)!

I came across a great tutorial on you tube for creating a perfect fringe and I never knew about 'rats' before until I watched this.

Here is how to make your own 'rat' for perfect bangs, from Va Voom Vintage!
This is how Dita Von Teese get's her look! I might have to keep my fringe long after all!

Getting Crafty... as always!

So my resin journey begins... After my much loved course in Brisbane, I won't be able to stop! I have even ordered more colours and casts just so I have more range.

Here is how I am going at the moment.... My creative mess! As you can see there are feathers and resin everywhere.

Resin Bangles - Green sparkle, Nude and Pink Chunks, True Blood, Blue Purple swirl, Pink Sparkle

Resin Swallows - Red being turned into a bracelet and blue into a ring! What else should these guys be transformed into?

The messy craft space! Trying to manage Noogal Creations at the same time!

The best thing about Easter - more time to craft. So once I'm home I will get cracking on more designs! Working full time makes it so hard to be creative!
