Bras, knickers, market, they are my excuse

So i got up to 4 blogs then dissapered from blogger, i know what your thinking "what a lazy crumbum" but my excuse for not writing 7 blogs is really really good, in fact i have 6 excuses!

1. Filling a order for the gorgeous Sideshow Annie Costume Parlour! This knickers and pasties set is called Orient Express. Visit the super pretty shop at 735 Nicholson Street, Carlton North, Vic.


2. Creating a cupped bra. This is one of the first cup bras we have made, it took a bit of time but we think its super cute. Made from pink floral cotton with an overlay of mini fabric roses! Finished with a big white bow.


3. Eye masks! A first for BambiLion, we have made 6 one-of-a-kind cute soft eye masks, some made from cotton, others made from saturn or silk.

4. preparing for our market! Yes another Rose street artists market this sunday the 19th. It's the last chance to come and visit our stall before Christmas!

5. Pretty little stall. Our Rose street stall is going to be easy to find as this week we have made cute flags that say our name: BambiLion Lingerie.

6. Valentines Day. We have completed our red Valentines day set. For a sneak peek come visit us at rose street where we will have it on display. you can even pre-order one for Valentines day.

Yes, we have been quite busy, i think that this longgg post makes up for my broken promis right? RIGHT?

Disaster master!

We were at the Rose street market today for our second time, the sky was blue in the early morning, the air filled with excitement for Christmas, today was going to be a good day.
.......
Unfortunately it rained cats and dogs and rabbits. Lucky for us we had a small shabby umbrella to keep our stock dry, with the exception of all the holes in it giving us the gift of never ending drops. This umbrella was courtesy of rose st but seemed a little out of place among the other forms of "protection from the elements" other stall holders were given. It seems we had the worst spot (i guess someone has to have the dodge area, right?) we had a drain next to us that was overflowing and made a miniature flood at our feet and were the only ones (apart from Mr no umbrella who had a stall next to us) to not have some kind of suitable shield from the rain. Sad to say but we had to leave.

If you missed us this week we will be back to give it another shot next week...well, we have to, we've already paid for the stall...

SO SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! 19/12/10.
Same time, same place, no rain (fingers crossed!)

Hanna and i made our way to the country today for a BambiLion photoshoot where balloons, hoola-hoops, pearls and tea cups were involved, and of course cute knickers!! We can't wait to show you all!

Love is in the air.

We cant help ourselves when it comes to ruffles and bows so have decided that this Valentines Day we would go all out!
Work in progress on second pair of knickers for VD <3

Upon packing up our first market at Rose st, Hanna and i looked at each other and knew, we were both hooked.

We LOOOOOVED Rose street market! Our next confirmed date for Rose street is the 12th December, perfect time to buy your Christmas presents *wink wink*

Slack-attack

Forgive me, I have been a slacker with this blog for the last month. To make up for it i will show you all the new Screen Printed and Silk knickers we have whipped up!

I'ts no use crying over Spiled Milk.

BambiLion has been featured in the gorgeous online Spilled Milk Mag. This magazine is a delight to look at, with beautiful photos and pretty fashion features! Lovely!

Screen Printing!

As we have many different styles of knickers we decided to make tags that match each group. We have:
Original BambiLion
Vintage
100% Silk

Some of the knickers in these groups will be screen printed so we have made extra tags to attach to those ones.
They have already been screen printed. Here is the process!

First the screen is cleaned.


Then coated with photographic emulsion. which is used when exposing your image onto your screen.



Transparent film is then printed out, stuck to screen and put into the exposure unit which puts the images onto the screen.


The ink is mixed.


Time to print!



Fin!~


We just need to sew them up and attach them to some soon screen printed knickers!!!

Shooting Lasers from their eyes.

We have been working on BambiLion at a snails pace lately, only creating some cards and cutting a few patterns.
Fear not, next week is set to look like a full week of BambiLion with Wednesday being a celebration of NEW STOCK! Which will include Hair clips and Brooches made from wooden laser cut designs. Super exciting!
