Skirt Progress: Queen's Forest Look for "Farinelli & the King"

Made a waistband and marked the center back & where the snap closures would be on the front. Next I took the fabric for the skirt and started to pin pleats, switching directions at the center back.

After pinning the pleats I sewed the front panels and then sewed across the pleating so that when I attached the waistband the pleats would already be put together.

Once the pleats were sewn I then pinned the skirt to the waistband. Because of the thickness of the fabric and the overlapping of layers I needed to hand sew the skirt to the waistband.

In the picture above I still need to sew on snaps for the closure in the front and finish the hem. I will probably also sew the waistband and skirt again, it's very heavy and I just don't want anything to happen accidentally since the Queen is very active in the show.

Malotke Writes - Updated Website

Guess who got new headshots done? Me! I've been continuing to submit various written pieces (poems, drabbles, flash fiction, short stories, etc.) and have been needing headshots for some of the submissions. 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.

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
