Channeling Simon Le Bon.

[ysobelle]

Simon 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.
