I fell in love with it instantly. I'm so sad I never got to see it at it's full glory. The only time I've seen anything so wondrous was on Second Life. Yes, I have canopy envy.<br />
<br />
I swear I was the last one on site to know it was cancelled. The night before they had it all filled with amazing relics and furniture. But it was all cleared out by the time I got up there. There was also a Wild West area that looked amazing. It was across a bridge so I got zero photos of it. I didn't even think to take any in the daytime before I pulled up my tent stakes. *Sigh*. <br />

It was cancelled and I'm home now, but I don't see why I shouldn't still spend 2 to 3 hours today working on costumes so they are ready for future events.<br />
<br />
As soon as I get the garden watered, I'm going to unpack a bit and get to work on my 2 crochet on the double waist cinchers and other bits. Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939076974714580689.post-28736058846831703312013-05-25T22:06:00.000-07:002013-05-25T22:11:06.468-07:00Boomtown Was StrangeI thought I'd be dancing or spinning fire or watching amazing people at the Boomtown event tonight. I got there Thursday right before sunset. There was confusion as to where I was allowed to camp. The office pointed me to a spot. A nice big flat area in the soft sand, big enough for about 25 tents. So we unpack half the truck when a woman gets out of a camper and tells me ever so politely that the entire flat area is reserved for her private Burning Man Reunion pot party and I'd have to camp somewhere else. My boyfriend, who was just dropping me off helped me to reload the truck. I told her no problem, I'll camp on the flat spot a bit higher. "Oh you really shouldn't," she says. "That area is reserved for my friends in RV's." Flustered I told her, "the office staff said this is the quiet camp."<br />
<br />
So back to the office I go, where they are having a meeting that can't be disturbed. Another man tells me exactly where to camp next to an old dead generator. So we get the tent up, and we just start to put the pop-up in front of my tent door, when here comes miss 'Burning Man Reunion' again. I get the whole spiel again. So I said, "Are you staff? Staff told me to set up right here." She kind of muttered and wandered off.<br />
<br />
But I tried to overcome it, really I did. By the time I set up camp, it was getting pretty chilly. Much colder than I expected it since I only live about 20 miles from there. At that point I realized I brought no warm regular clothing. Oh well, my giant top hat is the warmest thing I have so I put my big hat on, and my long sleeved Steampunk shrug, because I didn't bring so much as a sweater. It seems okay though, because some people were in costume, or half in costume.<br />
<br />
So up the hill I go and most of the exhibits are ready to go. The event opens Friday afternoon.<br />
<br />
Eventually I head to bed. Though it is almost midnight, and I'm way down the hill, the amplified music is still too loud to sleep through. So I read for awhile, and finally decide to go to sleep. I keep waking up, having strange dreams about people stealing my tent and my canopy. Whenever a song with loud drums comes on I wake up. I remember the website mentioning the music went to 3 AM each night. So I wrap myself even tighter in my blankets and sleeping bags, and resign myself to sleep after 3 AM. At 4:44 AM I wake up to pounding music and roosters crowing. Talk about disorienting!<br />
<br />
I get up a few more times, and by about 8 AM I give up on sleeping and start to organize my costumes, food, and props. Then I remember I was invited to tea by a vendor, so I decided to unpack later and go visiting.<br />
<br />
She kept talking to her friends about how she wasn't looking forward to packing up her booth that was 2 pop-ups wide. I kept wondering why she was worried now, when it was only Friday and the event went until Monday. Let's just say I'm not a morning person. I asked her what time the public was coming in and she looked at me funny and said, "They aren't. We are shut down."<br />
<br />
So I say, "You mean the power is out? Surely they can fix the generators?" It's then that the whole scene sinks in. The crew is taking down the lights, not putting them up. The big circus tent saloon thing is less put together than the night before. The ice man is leaving. Suddenly the light dawns. Ohhhh, we are not going to open at all. Big sadness. Shock. Disappointment.<br />
<br />
Seems some inspector decided they didn't have the right permits after all. Someone got a bee in their bonnet and got the event shut down. Most of the staff found out via Facebook. No officials came around to tell me anything. Luckily my boyfriend was home when I called him at 9:30 AM. He came and got me.<br />
<br />
So yeah, that's my Memorial Day weekend and my first real Steampunk event up in flames.<br />
So in hindsite, I'm glad I wore my costume on Thursday night. It was the only chance I got to wear it at all.<br />
<br />
The poor couple camped next to me had worked on Thursday in the San Fernando Valley, then they drove to the event, dropped off their camper to secure a good spot, drove back home to work on Friday. And now they still have to drive in awful Memorial 'get out of LA' traffic all the way back to Apple Valley, CA to get their camper and drag it home. So yeah, I had it easy, I lived close by. I didn't spend a year planning the event or a week setting up an elaborate outdoor show. Such a shame.

So I looked up the publication date and it was 1865. According to wikipedia, the Victorian Era was 1837 to 1901, so I'm in the right time period. My hat is red and black velvet, and looks pretty modern, but since the event starts Friday, and I have to set up camp tomorrow, it will have to do!<br />
<br />
I'm almost done with my waist cincher for my Steampunk Circus outfit, so I just have to wrap that up and start throwing camping gear into the truck.

When they said
yes, I got so excited. The event is this weekend. It will be madness
getting ready, but it is the kind of madness I love. If I hadn't emailed the coordinator this wouldn't have happened. Sometimes we have to take a
leap of faith to get to the abundance we seek. I realized that if I
didn't send that email, telling them I was out here in the universe, the
answer would have been no already. Then I told myself 100 reasons they
might say no. Then they said YES! So now I'm going to my first
Steampunk event ever. I'm going to Boomtown! I will be working three five hour shifts, and they haven't told me what I'd be doing yet. I put in for parking attendant and keeping their green exhibit on the green side out here in the desert, but I'm checking in at the box office, so I wonder if I'm working gate. We'll see! <br />

I'm right in the middle of moving, but I definitely want to make a steampunk jacket after I saw a woman in Downtown Disney yesterday with a top hat with metal Mickey Mouse ears. OMG I am in love with her outfit. She looked amazing. Of all the times for my camera batteries to die. I tried to find her on Bing and Google and no luck so far, but it seems there's a steampunk group that hangs out at Downtown Disney. Just my luck I'd find them now right when I'm moving 200 miles away from Anaheim.

It's really late and I'm really tired but I have this to share with you. Love, love, love the costumes. And the music. Must watch this again when I'm not so tired.

I want to be a Steampunk archer so I'm making the whole kit. I want to emboss some sort of design on the leather but I haven't figured out what yet. I'm still researching steampunk and what it is and what it isn't. <br />
<br />
So I need to make an outfit, and a quiver, and arrows, and a bow.

So far not much luck. I like one guy named Jack, but he hasn't been on much and when I bumped into him today he wss on the phone and I never did get to say more than hello to him. I keep meaning to look up Steampunk on Meetup.com, so I can get on with meeting some real life people and doing Steampunk stuff, but I can't remember my password. I guess I'll be all alone in my pursuits for a while more, maybe forever.<br />
<br />
One person in the Steampunk chat seemed interested in my art, but when I pointed her to my Etsy shop, she stopped talking to me all together. I don't know if she'd judged me and found me wanting, or was so busy mulititasking I no longer held her attention. But when someone else came in the chatroom and said hello to her she started talking to them, ignoring my last five attempts at having an art conversation.<br />
I think it's fair to say the people I've met there so far are on the snobby side. I'm about to give up on the place.Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939076974714580689.post-62292688583463180372010-10-23T23:25:00.001-07:002010-10-23T23:25:06.549-07:00What I'm Going for Here<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bn71sH6Sb4w?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bn71sH6Sb4w?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />

It would have been much easier if I was thinner, because I'm going to have to do some piecing I hadn't planned on. It's hard when you hit a roadblock in the middle of a project. I lost my motivation. Sometimes getting to my sewing machine seems next to impossible. Sometimes it's physically impossible, other times my mind is just not in the right zone. I hate it when I lose my motivation. Without motivation nothing gets done. I need some inspiration. I see a lot of people have checked out this blog. Sadly, they don't comment so I don't know why they were here or what they wanted.

I'd love to try that. Just what is the best way to shred a wedding dress anyway? <br /><br />I'm also in love with a skirt on the Pussy Cat Dolls video called 'I Hate This Part'. It looks rather like the skirt of a gauzy shredded wedding dress. It's ivory /off white in color. I'll see if I can find the video.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_sU41-5i3EQ&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_sU41-5i3EQ&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Sorry it's a remix. Embedding is turned off for the other version.<br /><br />I found a video of where they filmed it, and you can see the skirt much better. There is only one person wearing a skirt.

So I joined a Twibe for Steampunk and made another one called Neovictorian. Hopefully that will help me learn more about this new interest of mine. I have lots of good ideas but I can't seem to get off of top dead center with them.

I think they are just rationalizing their actions but I would suggest that if any of you do have an Artfire store you list at least 1 item or make a biography or something. I think since they really wanted the name they would have taken it anyway. But I made it ever so easy for them since I hadn't added listings yet. I was going to have a grand opening and list 10 things at once and I haven't finished them all yet. They saw my store sitting empty and snaked it out from under me. Not sure I will stay with Artfire after this. If I can't trust them with an issue of integrity not involving money, how can I trust them with money?Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939076974714580689.post-4828484073197650922009-03-14T10:24:00.000-07:002009-03-14T10:26:16.704-07:00Artfire Burns Me UpI'm mad as a hatter at Artfire today. They took away my shop name, which was Steampunk, and stuck me with Steampunk1 so they could use the name Steampunk as a group listing. Burns me up. They neither asked my permission or informed me that they had changed it. Heck, they didn't even give me a chance to make my own 'new' shop name. Nor can I call them because their business offices are closed until Mon. Frell.Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0
