Hey my Sweeties ;)

Sorry for delay, I forgot that yesterday I had meeting with my best friend :) Today I want to present to You a miniature corset pendant I done similar to Dark Knits Boutique corset that comes from Masquerade collection. With this one I had a lots of fun...and pain :P

This is my first mini corset with fan lacing - I must say  it was quite a challenge for me and I am sure, that it is the same in real corsets. Great job :) To make this corset I used nice, thin, velour material, which I had cut to pendant shape. This part and lacing was hard to make and they required a lot of patience, becouse threads and material had to be measured up perfectly. I had to watch out, since every drop of glue would leave a trail on delicate material. I don't want to boast, but I am really proud of it :)

I had a lots of problems when I took photos of this little pendant. Pisc were too dark and it was impossible to catch all details. Now pictures are too bright and velour material looks like something is stuck to it. And then my graphic program did the same thing, makeing it even darker when I wanted to put my logo on my pictures. Damn it. But pendant looks really nice in reality and I hope that it's owner will be happy with it :)

 Also I want to thank Everyone who liked my FB page and took interest in purchasing my works - this means a lot to me and makes me happy :) I never though that my mini corset will be more popular than anything I made :)

ALFONS MUCHA ROSE MINI CORSET

Hi Everyone!

Wow, I did it! At last I finished my painted  mini corset. This one is inspired by "Rose" painting by Alfons Mucha. I must say I loved the idea of joining paintings with corsets, with belongs to Retrofolie's.  But this one corset is my doing, and its not in Retrofolie's collection - But who knows, maybe this time my little work will inspire Retrofolies to make a corset? ;) That would be awesome!

"Rose" from series of flowers by Alfons Mucha, 1898.

Anyway, it took me some time to do this mini corset, but I am very happy with it. It has a positive energy when I look at it :) This time there is no busk, becouse I didnt want to cover this pretty face with it. However it has lacing in the back like always.

Although this little one looks very good with my undervest, it is for sale. I really need some money to improve my workshop and artworks :) So if you are interested in the purchase this unique pendant, please write to me :) This mini corset need a loving owner! ;)

Don't mind my boobs ;) Hope You like my Mucha mini corset! :) The second painted mini corset will be in the next post ;) Love You all :*

SUGAR CUBES

Hey!

I know it's been a wile since I post something new here, but I really try my best. I will not write about my current life problems, becouse it's not gonna change anything. Most of my time is occupied by looking for work, so my hobby has to wait sometimes.

Enough with the rough ;) I to took a few photos of my new sweet jewellery pieces. There will be more soon,   I just have to add some details  to them. For now this two sets.

Sugar cubes set.  Tt's simple, but I like it very much to my suprise. I also made a ring to complete this set.

Leibniz biscuits with cream set.  First attempt in making dribbling cream.

MINI CORSET FOR AMBER

Hey!

At last! I finished one from two mini corset pendants, on which I am working for over two weeks. :) There was a lot of work with them, because they contain mass of small elements which in miniature cause a few problems. Quite a lot of patience and  tact are needed.

This one mini corset I created for special order for sweet Amber Welch. She is sewing excellent corsets. Fun fact is, that  She as first ordered the corset fwith A.Mucha  from Retrofolie - pattern which so much inspired me for creating  miniature of it. :) All the more I am happy that She placed an order at me on this pendant. :) Amber is creating equally beautiful corsets, and I am encouraging to visit site with Her awesome, artistic work:

Amber sent me a few snapshots of her favourite corset and my adventure began :) Here you can see wonderful work for Her, of which I had pleasure to create the short piece:

The whole process of carving and painting took for me quite long, well  carving was quite simple, but  putting paint and details was very time-consuming. Don't ask about grains decorating the corselette - total massacre .;)

But it was worthwhile work, particularly this hundreds and thousands pretending crystals are looking good. :) I have huge hope, that when Amber gets this miniature corset to Her hands, will be equally happy with it, like I am. :) It is most important for me! I hope, that it will appeal to my readers too. ;)

Thank You Amber for such a great task You made for me! <3

Soon I will throw snapshots of the second mini corset, but I must finish it first. Fun with details remained ;)

RETROFOLIE

Hey Everyone!

I will admit that I am very excited with what I will show to You  in a minute :) All the more so because  I didn't made any new mini corsets for a long time - so somehow I didn't have a free time for it, when I  had some spare time I didn't had proper mood for it. This happens sometimes.

Some time ago I came across on certain profile on facebook, called Retrofolie, on which Julianne is presenting Her handmade corsets. I simply fell in love. Heavens! Who knows me, or is reading posts on my blog, then  knows that I love painting and I am trying to combine that with other fields of art (this way came into existence my mini paintings), and corsets created by Retrofilie have fabrics with printed motives from famous paintings < 3

On Retrofolie's profile we can see corsets with motifs from paintings, such as: "Venus Birth" (Sandro Botticielli ), "Swing" (Jean Honore Fragonard) and many other wonderful works. However  my personal  absolute favorite is a corset with the image of Alfons Mucha "Primrose and the feather" which you can see below:

I adore the Art Nouveau style, in which Mucha has created, but His artworks for me are simply phenomenal and very beautiful. No big surprise that  this corset appealed to me very much. However unfortunately at the moment I cannot afford to purchase and it is expense of 325$ CAD (in my country, that's a lot). Maybe one day I will make my dream come true :) But not from today it is known that the corsets has always been luxury goods ;) I want to invite You all warmly  to see beautiful artistic work of Retrofolie which you can admire on website or facebook profile. I am encouraging You to getting to like and checking progress on, because it is truly worthwhile:

To console myself a little bit and remember for what I am saving my money for, I decided to try to create the miniature of this wonderful corset. I know that should essentially at first ask for permission to do this, but I was afraid, that I can't manage to make it and unnecessarily I would only bother. And I also wanted to make a surprise for Retrofolie's one year of wonderful work :) I made it, it's done  and became a source of my inexpressible joy, adding the next rank to improving my small works.

The idea of the corset belongs to Retrofolie and no, I don't want to copy the production which is phenomenal for her and I wish her to develop for the best. My mini corset is form of  homage for Her and I hope that this way it will be taken :) But experience I got  at creating, new ideas and solutions which came to my mind belong already to me ;) Mini corset isn't  for sale. 

Enough writing, I am inviting to watch my work:)
