Made by a Fabricista: YouTube Edition | Marty - Hephaestus
Hephaestus was a project that I didn't expect to be doing this soon, but it's just how it worked out. I went into this project with no research, and while I know a little about the other Olympian gods, I knew nothing about him. I might have made different design choices if I did.
My first thought was to do a steampunk look, which I was all for, but the inspiration I was finding was subpar at best. And it wouldn't really fit in with the whole vibe I've created for the overall project. So I came up with a new design. And that didn't quite work out either.
I had a lot of life happen all at once with car problems, kitchen flooding, and getting some medical testing done. The car is fine, our kitchen is dry, and I officially have ADHD! (we knew I had it, I just needed an official diagnosis so I could start being medicated for it). All of that to say that I needed a nice and easy project. Which is what this turned out to be.
Overall I am very happy with how this dress turned out, and how the fabric looked like liquid metal. I just hope the God of Fire, and patron of craftsmen would approve.
