EvaEva performing Samba de Carnaval in one of her designs.
The sequins and seed beads alone for this set amounted to about 7000. It was about 200 hours of work to complete this set. But, I say, do it right or don't do it, and I don't create sub-par anything. It has to be the best I can possibly make it or it isn't worth bothering with it.
I acquired the jewels, settings, sequins, beads (seed and other shapes and sizes), appliques, feathers, frames, thread, building tools, foam, hooks, eyes, elastic, 2 kinds of foam, glue gun glue, other hardware, trim, all of the little bits and pieces that make this fabulous set, well, FAAAB U LOUS (if you will pardon me tooting my horn - it felt so good when I put it on for the first time!), from across the globe. Materials, all in cost me something like $700 for this set. Feathers alone were over $100. Yes, feathers. They are $$$$, and since I am not buying in bulk, I can't get any discounts.
Research alone to find just the right collection of items to make a set something special is a serious time commitment in itself!
I hope you enjoy this video. Spread the word! EvaEva is in the house and ready to sparkle for your event!
