“The Dark Star” Leg Cuisses Blackened Spring Steel Thigh Armor Only a mad man would challenge her to a duel. Sharp, quick and terrifyingly talented, fighting the Dark Star is like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. She’s achieved her status through nothing more than her own strong will and ability and needs no one. It’s easy to feel pulled in, to be drawn into her orbit… but be careful. A person who needs no one has nothing to lose. These legs were created as part of the Dark Star Collection. We imagined a set of armor created for the female figure, slim fitting, graceful yet brutal and strong. It has a blackened tone to it, which protects the armor from rust, and has been made out of a very special material: spring steel. Spring steel is much stronger than mild steel, so armor can be made out of much thinner sheets of it. This means that for a lighter weight, the armor can be just as strong and protective! It has taken a lot of work to come up with this design, and it included many experiments, so we hope that you appreciate our craftsmanship. This leg armor consists of two main pieces, the cuisses (thigh armor) and cop (knee armor). They are connected with a series of articulated plates which ensure you will be able to have smooth movements. From the knee, two lames extend towards the cuisses, with the final third lame coming to an attractive point before connecting to the thigh piece. This motif is repeating under the knee, with two lames extending down with a slightly longer final piece coming to a point. This armor protects the front of your leg and does not extend to the back of your thigh, which would make it perfect for riding a horse. This harness is based on armor from the late XIV century, with smaller fans on the side of the knee cops. In the XV century, the fans started to get bigger and more extravagant, which we decided not to explore with this piece. That being said, the smooth articulation of this armor is very much inspired by the more sophisticated leg armor we started seeing in the early XV century. This leg harness was created with fine attention to detail, making sure every aspect of it is perfect. All of the edges are well finished and not sharp, and all of the leather used is high quality and robust. Solid brass rivets have been used throughout, which should resist rust and also hold together very well. For the buckles, we have used cast brass medieval buckles, which suit the theme and add to the overall aesthetic. Please, mind that no polishing option is available if you choose brassed spring steel! To check how to measure yourself please click here. Please contact us if you have any additional questions. IMPORTANT: To fit correctly and prevent injury, a suit of armour must be accurately built to the measurements of the person wearing it. PLEASE take all measurements over either the gambeson or under-padding you are planning to wear with this armour. The sole exception is for persons buying armour and padding together, ArmStreet will then make the proper size adjustments for the armour based on the measurements provided for the padding.

Vintage Postcard, 1976 Ottobeuren, Bavaria (Bayern) Note: recently, I have been finding this photo all over the blogosphere. While I don't mind it being used, I would really appreciate it if when clicked on, it comes back here to Flickr. Today, I found it being used all by itself on someone's blog, with no track-back. Obviously, it would be considerate if people asked permission first.
"Soma Goddess" - A Giclée print on matte canvas of the original painting by Emily Balivet, 2015. With a protective coating, the print measures 11x14 inches and is stretched on a .75" pine frame. The print is signed, titled and dated on the back and ships flat. Soma is an ancient intoxicating drink frequently mentioned in the Hindu Rig Vedas. Prepared from a mysterious plant and used in Vedic ritual, it was believed to be the ambrosia of the gods and granted immortality. It has been suggested that Soma may have been hallucinogenic mushrooms. Soma literally means "body" in Sanskrit and unites the holy trinity of mind, body, and spirit. ~All prints are packaged professionally and shipped via Priority mail (within the US) ~Overseas shipping via USPS First Class International ~Shipping discounts on multiple purchases Please contact me with questions or comments and visit my website www.emilybalivet.com to see my entire portfolio!
I have had this sleeve in my file for quite some time. It's such a pretty sleeve and would look so nice on everything from a t-shirt to a dress. So, very versatile. I had found a full length picture of the dress, but for the life of me, I was unable to find it this morning. I'm only giving you the drafting instructions for the sleeve today. Next Saturday I'll be back with a sample of the sleeve along with a sample of the Bell Shaped Sleeve that I did HERE. Hopefully I will have found my picture of the entire gown by then! I'm calling this sleeve; The Stylized Gathered Sleeve It's really quite easy to do, but it does have a number of steps. So here we go! Begin with a straight sleeve pattern. Determine the length of your sleeve. Draw in the diagonal style lines. The lines radiate from the notch points on the front and back of the sleeve. The gathering that goes across the sleeve begins approximately 1 1/2" from the top edge of the sleeve. The gathered area is approximately 4" wide. Place notches 1 1/2" down from the top of the sleeve and then 4" down from the top notch. Use a single notch on the front and double notches on the back. Cut the side sections away from the center section. Divide the gathered area into 4 equal sections. Be sure to number each section of the sleeve. Draw a guideline on a piece of paper. Cut each section apart and spread evenly matching the center grainline to the guideline. The spread between each section should be approximately 1". The pattern for the center gathered area has now been established. Be sure to transfer the notches so that you will be able to perfectly match the enter section to the side sections of the sleeve. Now to establish the gathered cap. We do not want to gather the entire cap, only the center section. Begin by squaring a line across from the top notches of the center section that will be gathered. From the center of the sleeve cap, measure over approximately 1 1/2" to 2" on either side of the cap. Draw a diagonal line down to the squared line that we have just established. Divide the center section into 3 sections on either side of the center of the cap. Be sure to number each section as you see below. To spread the cap and establish the gathering, begin by cutting from the top of the cap on the center line to the squared line and then across to either side of the sleeve. When cutting to the side of the sleeve, be careful to cut to the edge but not through. Now cut from the top of the cap to the squared line of each section. Draw a guideline line on a new piece of paper and match the grainline of the sleeve to the new guideline. Spread the sections of the sleeve as equally as you can. Notice that the sleeve cap rises at the squared line that was established. The rise in the cap that happens when the cap is spread will cause the top of the cap to be higher. You may want to raise the cap a little more. Do this by adding 1" at the center of the cap and blending back to where the beginning of the spread began. The final pattern for the sleeve. Be sure to establish the notches on the cap of the sleeve. The notches that are on the top of the cap are for the gathering. As you can see below, the notches should be where the gathering was established. Just follow the steps, and the sleeve should come together easily. Have fun! Rhonda

Frothy Curls is an image I did several years ago for a French beauty editorial with photographer Felix Lammers and makeup artist Yasmin Heinz . The image had a great sucess with Elle Germany re using it as a beauty story and also Phytoplage bought it to use for a hair campaign .It was one of those late night sessions where more images were not really planned and the photographer asked for one last picture . I took a small curling iron and started to do a big curly hair visual, not really sure what i'd get as the models hair was pretty fine and fluffy in quality ... I brushed the curl out thinking in my head a fairyfloss texture. The photographer's light was perfect to exaggerate the softness and lightness of the curl. It remains one of my favorite curly hair images.Felix Lammers was selected by the publishing company Printkultur to be featured in
