Bought some French Army Surp Boots.
Distressed them with a scourer and red acrylics. Then sealed em.
May not be finished with them yet:

Being a bit of a corporate Goth I but a lot of stuff on the high street then mod it up when it begins to wear.
Just made a silver Tie with Skull Logo, and 'corsetted' a black polka dot shirt with safety pins and a tie to make it a skinny fit both for a party. Will post a pic of them in action.

Showing of the pretty shiny jewelry I made. Sorry that the colour balance is a bit off, I'm sure it could probably be fixed in photoshop but I don't know how  .
This is a pretty black choker I made for myself a few weeks ago. It's fairly simple but still pretty cool.
This is a choker I made for my friend for her birthday and these are the earrings I made to match. They look gorgeous on her.
This is my pretty slytherin necklace. And another pic just coz I love it so much. I wore it to the Deathly Hallows launch along with my prety green dress robes. Yes I am a geek.
I love this choker, I wish I had a better picture of it because this one just doesn't do it justice.
And last but definitely not least is my beaded pendant of blindness and insanity. On one side is a flower and on the other side is this awesome little skull thing. I got the instructions to make it off The Anticraft if anyone wants to try making one.
Everything is made out of glass beads which is probably part of the reason I'm broke at the moment. I've probably spent more than $100 Australian on stuff to make jewelry this year.

Here's a shirt I've been meaning to make for a long time. Some may recognize it as the seal of Metatron from Silent Hill 3 and 4. Yes, I'm a geek... a butch geek.

I finally completed a kimono-style hoodie the other day. It was hell to make, for a number of reasons. Even though there are a few semi-apparent mistakes here and there, I'm super proud of it.

I just made a sisters of mercy shirt, and I did a perfect job of it to, barely anything I can complain about, except one thing. I did it off center, it's like 3 inches to far to the left, which is infuriating, as I just spent a good hour and a half doing it.
On the upside I already figured out how to fix it, I am going to cut it out and sew it to the back of a black and grey striped shirt.

Can anyone suggest a good fabric paint? Trying to do some lettering in red or black across the chest of a stretchy fabric.

I use Dylon and Pelikan fabric paints for my band shirts. Not sure if they're available in the US though, so I'd just say go to a craft store and ask for the best they have - usually the most expensive, but you get what you pay for.

It's far to easy to spend more money than you really should. I think it might actually be a good thing that the shop I usually go doesn't sell crystal beads or I would have spent twice as much. :P I like what you've done with the lace, the green one is my fav. Making stuff is relaxing and a lot of fun, I'm so happy that my art teacher is letting me make stuff in class although I think I'm going to start selling some because I have far more than I could ever wear.

Very nice...

Belt Up
I made a very simple belt. Basically my velvet bedroom curtains were too long by about a foot, so me and my mom cut that bit off and she finished off the curtain edges.
So I was left with 2 foot of dark blue velvet that I was not going to just throw away. So I made a belt from one section ( I am using the other for patches )
I used these buttons ( slightly steam punk-ish , and they are silver )
]
And this is the belt upon my gigantic self

Now I have made a choker. I found the watch face in a little basket under the stairs ( I have no idea why it was there or where it came from ) .
It doesn't work, and I can't seem to prise it open either. Oh well, I've set the time to 3:37 for shits and giggles. Used the last 3 buttons too.

Fun but fiddly . And I was being watched by a blackbird eating a slug. It was very distracting >>
