Major Revision of Customized Hybrid Cloth Mask Patterns

Hybrid mask, Glasses Mask or Beard Mask pattern for glasses wearers and beard wearers by Iris Luckhaus

I have revised and added to my custom Hybrid Masks post! The classic Hybrid Mask fits surprisingly well for most people, but faces and needs are dramatically different. After being asked several times for adjustments and finding it hard to resist interesting pattern challenges (plus, I think that everyone should have a well-fitting mask!), there are now patterns for large, small, long, short, pointed and flat noses, different glasses, chins and beards as well as more space in the mask, plus templates for wide, narrow, square, round and triangular faces, which can all be combined! ➔

Update | Fresh Profile Picture

After planning on this for months, I finally found time lately to update the main self portrait I’m showing in the profile section of this site (and which once, in an even earlier version, even served as a landing page). My studio actually looks very much like this – and I only depicted birds which frequently visit my winterly tree-buffet!

Update | Everything new in August!

Webdesign für Iris Luckhaus

It has been a little quiet around here the last couple of months, but this had a good reason: Next to my actual work, I built a brandnew website – finally bilingual, responsive, with my very own theme (thanks to WordPress and Headway Themes, which I’d definitely like to recommend!) and several new, long-wanted functions (like a multidimensional portfolio taxonomy) that seems to act and look fine on the most different monitors, browsers and devices*! … ➔

22:55 // A little monument: This is the first blog entry in our new, slick, fast, going-to-be responsive and fully bilingual blog format, that over the next couple of weeks or months (depending on how much time I can spend on it!) will become an all new and shiny portfolio with a practical search function – and a whole new site, after all… welcome on board!

Fivehundred posts – and we’re going bilingual!

We almost missed it: I already published 500 posts in this blog (the exact N° 500 was the Queen of Hearts !)! This is going to be celebrated, with our favourite guest Lux (as seen above), a little cake for us you, and a chocolate heart box as a thank you for reading and commenting!

Haphazardly, the big 500 coincides with the new bilinguality (see right above, there’s or new language switch!) of this blog. Most of the 500 posts are hand-translated now, only reviews and language specific things remain in their original language. If you’d really like to read them, you’re welcome to try your luck with automatic translations :)

Anthology | IO-Sketchbook “Meine Welt”

Handgezeichnetes und handgemaltes Selbstportrait Heimat von Iris Luckhaus bei der Arbeit im Büro in Wuppertal im IO-Skizzenbuch Meine Welt

My first all-handmade original drawing since 2004, for the sketchbook ‘Meine Welt’ (my world) by Illustratoren-Organisation. It was great, great fun and I had a hilarious weekend with the book… even though it was really heartbreaking to say goodbye and send it over to its next stop! … ➔

Diploma Thesis Jagdfieber & Ladies’ Hunting Apparel

“L’on trouve en ce pais des Dames fort actives / Qui s’cavent menager chaque moment du jour, / Car de peur de rester oisives / La chasse les occupe apres le jeu d’amour.” – Subtitle of a caricature called L’Europe [anon., um 1680]

You can now order the theory part of my Hunt Fever Diploma about the historical development of ladies’ hunting apparel and the history of huntresses for reimbursement of expenses, just by contacting me. Furthermore, I just uploaded a complete portfolio of all my fashion projects! … ➔
