Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

Katinka von K. · Feb 16, 2012

Do any of you ladies have a tumblr? I just signed in mostly for illustration stuff but also follow some vintage picture collections and would like to have some more focussing on 20s-50s. Here´s mine.

Yesterday I posted a guest blog post from Vibrant Vintage about 1920' flapper Louise Brooks. Check it out:
http://www.vintagedancer.com/being-a-louise/

The post coincided perfectly with the free ebook I released last week: 1920's Fashion for Your Body Type. Pick up a copy and learn what 1920's dresses, hats, and hairstyles will look best on you.

If you like it please share it with everyone you know.

Happy blogging!

I abandoned my tumblr a little while ago - found it really difficult to get followers and I was fed up of seeing the same images over and over - I think especially with the fashion tumblogs that I was getting attention from I was getting a lot of teenagers and it just didn't interest me! I think that was mostly from photoshoots that I'd done and from the shop that I work at. With different contacts I think I'd give it another go though!

Your illustrations are lovely, that bunny lino-cut is absolutely gorgeous! Print's never anything that I've really had much patience with apart from screen-printing, but I'd definitely find it useful for work! (I work in a college art department)

Black Dahlia, I loved your lucite post- found it really informative and interesting. Is there any way I can follow your blog without getting every new post sent to my email in box, do you know?

Thank you for the compliment on my dress btw! Can't wait to get it!

Latest post: Etsy woes... a bit of a rant but might be familiar ground to some of you!

Hi Frenchy,

I figured it out and added the 'subscribe to feed' link on the main page of my blog. That way, you won't be plagued with pesky emails.

I've had some layout issues with my blog lately and given that I'm not very technical at all they're taking me a little while to work out. I'm pushing through though and working to my new blogging schedule.
I'm also doing a giveaway of a Benefit They're Real! Mascara in black.

No, but I use Pinterest and loves it:

So useful for sorting and it help me keep track on where I find pictures, as I like to give picture sources in my blogpost. I've just a board to catalouge my patterns- much easier to look there than drag out my boxes and go through them.

Ive started a new feature, recreating outfits from magazines, books, movies, etc. I had a ton of fun putting my first one together!

I've had for some time but I haven't really started using it until now. I can see how it might be really useful!

I see what you mean about getting followers. Initially I didn´t want to get a tumblr at all because I already have an illustration blog running but I´ve been reading more and more illustration tumblrs over the last few months so i figured I could as well sign in, follow them all directly and upload something. I wouldn´t use it for fashion purposes only.
And thank you! Linocut is fun but includes a lot of pain and blood

@Isis 17th century fashion? I think I love you now

Oh. I love it! So much that I and a couple of friend have founded a 17th century society and I'm working on my first dress.

Black Dahlia · Feb 18, 2012

I've been inviting to Pinterest, but haven't used it yet. Is it fun?

Today's blog post is on coffee. Oh, for the Love of...Coffee. I included one of my favourite recipes for an orange mocha.

Ok, I pack my things and move to Sweden. Now!

I hope you´ll show the dress when it´s done? I can´t even imagine sewing a (fancy) dress from that period. Too much work. But so beautiful...

Welcome!

Well, I have been doing 18th century for 12 years, so it's more of a branching out...

Today's post is inspired by paintings by Henry Clive. A story on what might have been the thoughts of one of his models...

The latest post on my blog is about my favourite book - the Master and Margarita - with a little vintage fashion thrown in! I am a bit of an evangelist for this book, and it would mean a lot to me if as many people as possible could go and take a look - and hopefully pick up a copy of the book on Amazon afterwards!

Thank you!

Love,

Horribly addictive, I introduced my ma to it today, she was entranced for a good few hours by the craft pins x

ThePowderKeg · Feb 19, 2012

I agree that Pinterest can become totally addictive. Almost as addictive as the Lounge here.
