Photo Prep...

This week hasn't quiet gone according to plan (that seems to be the new norm, lol).......we managed to have some tummy bugs run a muck in the family, so not quiet where I wanted to be at this time this week! Oh well I did manage to make a start on a few accessories in preparation for my next shoot:-
 

Hopefully over the next few days I can finish up the swinghook corsets as intended, then I should be able to organise a catch up with my model and from there make more plans :)

Cutomer interlude...

I recently spotted this on Facebook and thought I'd share this fantastic image of Ruby Ruin wearing her circus themed corset by Forge Fashion.

PS

I don't think this corset was posted to this blog (previous to starting here all entries are over at Livejournal) so here's a look at the corset:-

Nice pattern matching if I do say so myself ;)

The Joy of Swing Hooks.....

I started a couple of steamy themed underbust corsets with the intent of trying my swing hook closures.....and so far it's going super well. Boy do I love swing hooks, they're so much more fun to put in then normal busks!

Isn't the map fabric lovely? I just couldn't resist it! Since I have a lovely stash of fabrics I need to be using more of,  I decided to match it with white pvc instead of  leather - which would normally be my natural selection (I will be mixing this fabric with leather for another project so I think it's a good deviation).

The other one has a lovely montage newprint look which I thought I might as well do with black vinyl , keeping with the theme. I'm also doing single layer coutil corsets, which means I'll be relying on internal and external bone channels to achieve the effect so I want something with contrast anyway.

And here's a couple showing the swing hooks just as they went in.....

FUTURE BLOG POSTS.......more plans of corset making and corsets to come!

Sunday fun.....

The internet is full of little time wasters.......and occassionally it's quiet satisfying trying out some of these offerings. Facebook of course is the worst for linking off to obscure sites for random entertainment.......here's one such, pretty fun and a suitable time waster for a Sunday afternoon.
