HP MINI CORSETS

Hey!

Today I have something special, mostly for the Harry Potter fans :) One of my friends asked me to made two mini corset similar to Hogwarts two houses - Gryffindor and Slytherin. To be totally honest - I never readed any of HP books, I only watched some of movies based on it. I dont know why I didnt get interested enough to do it - maybe its not my piece of cake ;) Please dont kill me...

However I think story and characters are cool.  So I liked the idea of mini corsets inspired by HP. Gryffindor and Slytherin is for now, maybe in the future I will be summon to do the other two - Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff - this is such a cool idea of total four mini corset set :)

I must admit, that this wasnt easy task, becouse I had to work on my own - create my versions of this pendants. That took me a lot of time, than normal. Usually I have photo of a corset and I do a mini copy. In this case I didnt have a photo, I had only my ideas and coats of arms of this two houses to work with. And here are the results of this struggle:

 Hope You like it ;) Very special mini corset coming soon! ;)

DARK KNITS BOUTIQUE MINI CORSET

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 

Picture of  actual "Water" corset from Masquerade collection. 

I invite You all to see many beautiful Dark Knits Boutique corsets on facebook page or site:

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 :)

H. R. GIGER MINI CORSET

Hey!

As I promised in my last post, today I will show You my new mini corset pendant, from which Im very, very proud. It have a very special place in my heart ;) 

My friends know, that I love art of the great H. R. Giger, who unfortunately died 12 May 2014 :( A true master of painting, sculpture and design. I must say, that He was the first artist who truly woke up my curiosity for "not usual" art. When I was in secondary school of art I did my sculpture diploma - a sculpting interpretation of  one of Giger's paintings - "Illuminatus I" It was pretty big low relief, like 100 x 80 cm. I was proud of it, but my stupid school took it away - every student had to renounce the copyright of his work -  it was necessary before the admission to enter the final examinations. Well, fuck them soo hard for it, becouse most of this artworks was badly stored or destroyed after some time. Ahh, the old times. After that hard work over my diploma sculpture I hated sculpture - that kind, which plaster is being applied,  frames are being used and  casts...Yup, I still hate it...

But I still love Giger's art, so I figured that I always wanned a corset with His painting. I have needed skills in painting, but I could not find a corset to paint it on ( until I bough perfect one last Wednesday, I will start when its arrive) so I decided to make myself a mini corset pendant with my another favourite painting, which is "Li" from 1974. You can see it below:

 H. R. Giger,  painting "Li", 1974.

Its  more an interpretation, not full blown copy, I forsake myself the details in order to keep my sanity ;) Besides I didnt have time for spending months on painting every little detail, didnt need it anyway. I like it. Also I omitted a forest of "WIENERS" in the background of this painting. I dont need any on my chest :) Also my camera is very crapy and didn't catch more  gentle colours and it looks like its only black - white.  And I forgot to take a pictures of the back...Well, shit... Enjoy watching, please leave me a comment ;)

In a next week I will post another mini corset, this time made to order. And it is awesome ;)

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 :*

MINI CORSET FOR SNOWBLACK

Hey!

As I promised, I am describing the other mini corset :) Perhaps it might look inconspicuous, but I am ensuring that I had quite a lot of work with it. It is a special order from Ms Marta from SnowBlack Corsets - it is  great honour for me !:) Ms Marta is creating incredible corsets, which are the source of  inspiration. To tell the truth - for some time I intended to create a miniature of one of Her works, so the fact that She ordered one for Herself is awesome to me and Im very happy :) I am inviting You all to check Her works, link to the page below:)

Similarly as in the previous case I got detailed photographs of the corset, so that I could make most faithfully copy of corset. At the very beginning its nice invoice puzzled me. I started musing about to copy it at the short piece. Then was a time for the  flowery ornaments on it. Do you remember how I wrote, that creating ornaments from the hundreds and thousands was difficult?... these flowers will give me nightmares for the rest of my life ;) And additionally, at creating them I cut my finger, fortunately nothing serious, but hampered my work. But it was worthwhile! She likes mini corset and it is most important :) Here you can see the work of Ms Marta, the one  for which  came into existence this pendant:

And now I am inviting You to examine my small artwork :)

 

     

One more time I thank Ms Marta from SnowBlack for the possibility of working on such  cool corset!

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:

https://www.facebook.com/199875083619/photos/pb.199875083619.-2207520000.1409904437./10152379541388620/?type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Ffbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net%2Fhphotos-ak-xaf1%2Fv%2Ft1.0-9%2F10153199_10152379541388620_7758722273689797982_n.jpg%3Foh%3Dcc65adc3d0294794811a4280f62ca378%26oe%3D549EABD0%26__gda__%3D1418270820_96df706c9ebd59e06bb8c80a38222e92&size=960%2C914&fbid=10152379541388620

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 ;)
