This is the last post about my party, but I think it is the best one!
Because there is a lot to see today :-)

Have fun with the wonderful pictures made by Dirk Jacobs :-)

Yours,

And here it is, my masterpiece, the dress for the Time Traveller’s Ballroom, the Autumn Rose Ball Gown :-)
I was never as proud of something I made as now with this dress!

As soon as the theme of my birthday party was decided, I had this dress pictured in my head…and it turned out just as amazing as I imagined it ;-)

More about the dress on the page Autumn Rose Ball Gown.

The pictures were made by Dirk Jacobs at the party.

The last post about my party will be about my wonderful guests :-)

Yours,

The Time Traveller’s Ballroom was my birthday party and I got so many wonderful presents I could hardy believe it.
Since I have so many creative friends, there were just as many creative presents and I want to show a small selection thereof :-)

First of all I got the amazingly beautiful jewellery set matching my dress. As so many times before Sandra made the jewellery especially for this ball gown, and it is just perfect for it.
I called the set Great Victorian Onyx Set.

I got another jewellery set from Jules H. Aetherton and Arsenal Best.
It is a little porcelain tea set, white with rosy flowers and gold-rimmed, the little teapot is the pendant and the teacups with their saucers are the earrings. It is so sweet and I will wear it often and with much fun :-)

My dear friend Miss Mel von Stichfest used her embroidery machine and made a big shopping bag with an octopus with metallic yarn for me :-)

I got another octopus from Eliza Jess Corvey and Phillip von Pleuel. This specimen was printed in seperat parts with a 3D-printer and then pieced together. This beastie has so wonderfully flexible tentacles and it looks properly steampunky.
I am thinking about how to use this for a costume ;-)

Another great present I got from Sandra and Van Flex are three of my favorite Brian Kesinger Victoria&Otto-Doctor Who-Crossover-pictures printed on a white wooden board. This is one of the most creative birthday cards I ever have seen ;-)

Many presents were money gifts. One of them I want to show you: A tiny aquarium where there is a treasure in the sand guarded by an octopus sea monster ;-)

There will be two more posts about the Time Traveller’s Ballroom, one about my dress and one about my guests :-)

Yours,

I had the most wonderful birthday party!
We worked hard to make it that way, but it was all worth it :-)

There will be some posts about this party, starting with this one about the decoration.
The party took place at the amazing Maschinenmuseum Kiel. It is a place of old machines, a lot of history and many wonders. But it is a cold machine hall and not really a ballroom. So I had to make it that way :-)

I made some Bouquets of Lights for each table and added some pearl twine and that was my table decoration. I loved it and so did my guests :-)

Apart from that I draped lots of organza all over the place and my friends worked out a beautiful light concept to turn the machine hall into a ballroom.

The next posts will be about the creative presents I got and of course about my dress and jewellery ;-)

Yours,
