Channeling Simon Le Bon.

ysobelleSimon used to say that when he was miserable in love-- missing his S.O.-- he was more creative. Last night, I printed out a half-dozen or so photos of cranes, and sketched a stomacher of a crane flying across the moon. I'd like to paint it on deep blue silk, then paint clouds around the back of the corset for the sky.
Then, once in bed, I started thinking about a series of bird corsets, all with removable feather sprays.
From there, I thought, "What about doing The Firebird? Painted like a Russian box on black silk?"
And from there, "What about a series of fairy tale corsets?"
At last, I've found my "lines." I didn't really want to do other kinds of corsets-- I really like the style I have-- but I've wanted to branch out for a while.
Watch this space.
ETA:
Rapunzel, with a gold braid running in a spiral all around the corset. Mmm.

Corset lines

So, with that in mind, I think:
1) Fairy Tales
(a) Fables
2) Goddesses
3) Mythical creatures
4) Fae
(a) Elemental
(b) Geographical -- ala the Gnomes, wherein they lived in various locales and looked and behaved differently according to where they lived
5) Shakespearean (Lacing the Bard? My own project currently in progress is a Shakespeare album quilt, and the pattern line I am producing with it is Quilting the Bard. :))
