“Having worked with Lowana since the conception of Vanyanis itself, I consider myself not only privileged to have seen the evolution of her work and skills, but also to have had so many lavish garments created for me. My involvement as a model and web & print designer (plus many other odd jobs) for Vanyanis has given me great insight into her capacity as a creative visionary, skilled designer and seamstress, and the often-painstaking hours she dedicates to each client.

The Vanyanis ensembles and pieces I own have been exactingly tailor-made to my figure and personal taste, with luxurious fabrics and countless hand-embellished details. She has great talent for sourcing incredible textiles and top-quality structural materials, and working closely with clients to develop a rewarding professional relationship. Vanyanis turns dreams into reality!”

Plugging my own testimonial must be the height of conceit here.

Regardless, I will be making a few Vanyanis-related posts over the coming month on my blog, detailing our collaborations, a giveaway or two, plus covering her wedding - and my role in it, of course! :P

oday was the best day of my life. I can’t believe I was lucky enough to meet two of my favourite actors in the world, I can’t express how grateful I am. As I took the train to London this morning I was more nervous than I’d ever been, I thought that as soon as I saw Benedict I would surely faint or burst into tears… and I expected to be really intimidated by Martin Freeman because he’s such a big star now! But as soon as Martin came over and shook my hand I just felt happy, he was so lovely and his smile warmed the cockles of my heart. I must admit that when Benedict came over and stood next to me I felt very shaky and as though my heart was ready to burst out of my chest, but as soon as he asked my name and spoke to me it was simply wonderful. Martin was a real charmer and Benedict was so funny and unlike anyone I’ve ever seen before.

They were both so incredibly kind about my artwork, it was so bizarre having two such talented people say that something I do is “amazing”, when I look up to them so much. As they took the drawings out of the envelopes and gasped and praised me I felt like my heart was going to explode then and there. They said it was the best fan art they’ve ever received. It made me want to break down. To have Benedict Cumberbatch say I’m “talented” is something which I just can’t handle or comprehend. I just couldn’t get my head round it. I feel so overwhelmed right now, the whole experience was so very surreal. I feel so incredibly happy, it was so amazing. I feel kind of dumbstruck right now, I can’t believe it happened to me.

This was the drawing I gave to Benedict as a gift, and this one for Martin. I’m keeping the signed one for myself, forever.

Also I thought I’d just point out the LENGTH OF BENEDICT’S FINGER I MEAN WHAT IS THAT

awesome! congrats! :D

Awesomeness aside for a moment, that is a beautiful dress.
