New Fabric: New Project

Art Gallery- Shell Blaze Knit in Night
A while ago I entered a contest with Seen & Sewn Patterns to promote one of their latest patterns (check out their Aspen Tank!). I had tested the pattern & loved it so I was happy to help promote it. I ended up winning the contest and the prize was exactly what I needed in my life- more fabric. I got to pick a fabric from D&H Fabrics Co. and I would get 2 yards of it. The one I picked ended up being sold out, however I had a really hard time selecting one so I was happy with my backup choice.

 With my show's start date coming up I've been tidying up my work area and realized I haven't done anything with this fabric yet. It's a lovely print and feels great so I am leaning towards making myself a 1950s ish style dress to go perfectly with my show's opening night. However, I still have a few projects to finish up first before starting a brand new one. Right now I have a few alterations to make to some of my work clothes (hems, fix necklines, etc) and I need to finish my Geometric Print Dress (it needed some minor alterations from the pattern). 

 Once I decide what I'm making I'll do a post on its progress and final pictures. I'll be spending some time looking at dress patterns to see what direction I want to take with this project. Stay tuned!

Malotke Writes - Updated Website

Guess who got new headshots done? Me!

Since I have been using my photo from senior year of college (shot for the fashion show program) I had decided that maybe it was time for some new, and way more recent, photos.  Pictured left is one of my favorite photos from the photography session. I've already updated my website using a bunch of the photos and I've sent them off for social media / marketing for upcoming interviews & anthologies that I'm included in.  Here is a link to my writing website: Malotke Writes

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself."   When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character.  My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the
