Hello! I'm pretty new to Chicstar and love what I've seen so far; I'm so happy to have stumbled across it. I'm a freelance artist from England, usually hired for anime style illustrations, though my roots are in high fantasy art. I enjoy sewing, but am not very good or knowledgeable about it. Please forgive my inability to adeqately describe how I'd like things to be made. I'm quite clueless about terminology and everything I've learned about sewing I know only from experimenting! My art and fashion influences stem from a love of a period of time when clothing seemed more whimsical and bold. I have eclectic tastes in style and fashion, but I have a passion for punky clothing, and fashions of yesteryears. I love steampunk! You might find many of my designs end up with a slightly piratey theme, and with good reason! I love the whole pirate look! Did you know the reason pirates wore such impractical things for sea travel as velvets, lace and silks were because back then, it was illegal for any but the upper classes to wear them? It was a statement of freedom, of will, and individuality! And what better fashion statement than that?
