As I mentioned in my last post, now that Link is nearly done, having only the shield left to finish up (haha ONLY, not that it isn't a ton of work left), I have begun turning my attention to the next character in the project: the lovely Zelda. I have begun raising the crown (pics in my last post). Over the last couple of days, I have been seeking the perfect artisan to create the dress. I will admit I cannot sew my way out of a paper bag, so I need a fabulous dress made by a true artisan. Much like Brendan from Fable Blades whom took my designs and made me a stunning Master Sword, I needed an artist of the same caliber whose tools of the trade are the needle and thread.
I'm pleased to announce that I have found such a craft person.
Faden Design Studios will be bringing Zelda's dress into reality. I spoke with the artisan and she is a truly passionate artisan with years and years of experience in the craft. A kindred spirit with respect and passion for the old arts that are long since fading in today's world. Her views on her craft resonate and it shows clearly in her work. After consulting with my wife we both wholeheartedly agree that Faden Designs is the only option for the clothing for Zelda. I also presume that things will turn out so fabulous that Faden Designs may become the exclusive sewing artisan for this project as a whole.
Here are some stunning examples of Faden Design Studios' work:
First we have the famous Lannister red dress:
The embroidery work is positively stunning!
Next we have the most amazing Elsa dress I have literally ever seen. The beadwork is mind-boggling!!
Then we have a detailed Victorian / Steampunk corset and bustle:
It is clear that Faden Design Studios puts the same level of passion into their work that I do in mine, Brendan does his, and is just the type of artisan this project necessitates.
