The corset trend is one of my favorites right now because of its historic background which dates back to the 1500's. Originally designed to slim the waist and exaggerate the bust and hips. The construction of a traditional corset is a time consuming process done by a skilled tailor called a corsetmaker. This involves accurate measuring and materials like leather, metal, wood, and plastic for the boning inserted into the cloth of the corset. Now most of us aren't skilled corsetiers and nor do we plan to be. I just like the look of a corset as a fashion-forward piece to add to my wardrobe. It's a great addition to a baggy top and even for cosplay costumes (Halloween's coming). Dritz products make it easy to create your own custom corset using their 2-Part Eyelet Tools and Eyelets. You can even try their Eyelet Pliers which I used for the vinyl corset. Get the details below and make your own corset. Supplies: Dritz 2-Part Eyelet Tools Dritz 2-Part Eyelets (I used the gold but they have silver and gunmetal too). 1/2 yard of fabric (I used a TÉLIO Denim and vinyl) Brother Sewing Machine XR3774 tailors chalk hammer embroidery scissors ruler thread DIY Instructions: You will need a strip of fabric that measures your waist + 5-8 extra inches. The width depends on how wide you want your corset to be. Mine was 6.5" when finished + 1.5" seam allowance (8" total width). The pattern above shows sections of 2" on each side and then 3.5" sections in between. The _" is the middle of the corset which will be the center back. This will be whatever measurement you get at the end. We're basically making an accordion with fabric by folding pleats and sewing them. Begin by marking a line down the 1/2 way point of the fabric. Then mark 2" lines out from the sides. Be sure to mark on the wrong side of the fabric using tailors chalk or a fabric marking tool. Now mark 3.5" from that point till you get to the center. Repeat the same for the other side going to the center. Any remaining space you have left should be in the center. This measurement will most likely not be 3.5". It should look like this when done. You should now have 2 center lines. Fold either one so the marked line is the folded edge and right sides are together. Pin or press flat and sew a 1/4" seam. Sewing a 1/4" seam from top to bottom. It should look like this. Now repeat for the other center line (the mark in between mine is the half way point). The 2 center pleats are wear the arrow is. Now for the additional pleats we will be sewing a curve instead of a straight line. Fold again with the marked line as the folded edge but pin the half way point. When you sew, do start with a 1/4" seam allowance and gradually sew out to about 1/2" by the middle point. Then gradually back to finish with a 1/4"...see below for the photo and you'll get what I mean. Repeat this for the rest of the sections until you reach the last lines marked on each side. For the last lines you will just do a 1/4" straight seam like we did the center (where the arrows are). Press everything nice and flat. The center folds should be going the opposite directions of each other. Press the remaining pleats so they align with the coordinating center direction. Now top stitch the folds/pleats down into place. You can use a different colored thread to get a nice detailed top stitch or use the same like I did. These folds will act as our "boning" for the corset rather than inserting metal or plastic into each section. It's a much easier process... It should look like this on the wrong side. Hem the top and bottom edges. I folded a 1/4" over and then another 1/2" over, pressed, and hemmed into place. For the sides fold over 1" and sew into place. I did sew the raw edge into the seam. It should now look like this. Mark evenly where you want your eyelets to be with a dot of tailors chalk. Mine were spread about 1/2" apart. Use Dritz's 2-Part Eyelet Tools and eyelets to create the lace up front. Applying the grommets and eyelets: Full video tutorial here Mark position of grommet by tracing around inside opening of grommet. Cut hole with scissors. Note: For fabrics with stretch, cut hole smaller than inside opening of grommet. Insert grommet (deep half) into hole from right to wrong side of fabric. Place anvil on a hard surface. Position grommet on anvil. Place insert over center of grommet. Place washer, dome side up, over insert. Insert setter into grommet; hammer using 2 or 3 forceful taps. Center of grommet will roll over to secure grommet and provide a smooth finish. For the vinyl corset everything was done the same but for the holes I used the Eyelet Pliers instead of cutting them myself. This is a great tool for leather, suede, and vinyl materials. You can even apply the eyelets with these. Finish by lacing up with string or cording through the eyelets. Make sure it's long enough to lace through and tie into a bow at the end. Mine measured a full yard. I love pairing these with an oversized t-shirt or men's shirt. They also look great styled with a loose peasant top. It helps accentuate the waist and adds some edge to my look. Great for cosplay costumes as well (Halloween inspo). *In collaboration with Dritz.

About "SUPINE" Wall Sculpture 50" x 30" x 10" inch by Melanie Newcombe Aluminum window screen, aluminum and steel wire, wood, paint 2017 ABOUT Melanie Newcombe Melanie Newcombe is an American sculptor who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Melanie grew up in Minnesota on lakes and rivers and has spent her adult life near the ocean. Water is a pervasive theme in her work and she is transfixed by the qualities of water, and her sculptures have the transcendent ability to appear as water – sometimes solid, sometimes translucent, but always reflective. She is perpetually pushing materials toward innovative structures, with her figurative work featuring layers of aluminum screen wire sewn into human forms. The repetitive lines of the stitching connect a patchwork of wire mesh, arranged to convey a tension among beauty, sensuality, and ephemerality. She sees the layers of metal and wood as symbolic for how we as humans are also layers. Like onions we are layers. As the wire mesh, we are layers. The layers are a metaphor for her of our own layered lives. She is particularly interested in the relationship between the gods and humans. Growing up in a family of mostly women, she understands the story of women. Her sculptures are goddesses, balancing between the sea, the sky, the earth, and the human. Her most recent abstract pieces are an explorative dance between herself and material. These pieces are more about the process than the product because she is letting go of the trying and allowing the material to just move with her as she creates out of her intuition. Melanie has her B.A. in Art Education from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, with an emphasis in sculpture. She continued her post-undergraduate sculpture education at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Melanie is a credentialed teacher with extensive experience teaching art to adults, children, and teens. She has been a founding art teacher for a large public high school as well as taught at several private schools. Since 2013, Melanie has been actively involved in the Los Angeles art scene as an exhibiting artist.

Welcome to Nisoria Musical Instruments! We make pentatonic and diatonic instruments that are rooted in our experience with music and pedagogy. We strive to make quality instruments that are balanced in form and tone. The design of our products is modern, inspired by Waldorf art, while allowing the natural tone of the wood to come alive. This lyre has the following pentatonic tuning: d', e', g', a', b', d", e", g", a", b"/ re', mi', sol', la', si', re", mi", sol", la", si" You can naturally vary the tuning of the instrument within certain limits. All of our lyres are made of one piece of wood, selected for resonance, with no defects and structurally solid. This particular instrument is made of European Ash wood. Ash is often used for solid body musical instruments. The natural resonance of the wood results in a balanced tone that is sweet sounding, for defined lower notes to clear high notes. The heartwood of some Ash trees has nice dark-on-light stripes that resemble Olive wood. We use mostly this part of the timber that is not only beautiful but also dense and strong, which helps with the resonance of the instrument and the rigidity against the string tension. This instrument is polished carefully to allow the natural colors of the wood to shine through. We finish the instrument with a few coats of Shellac. We use natural colored shellac for our ash instruments which ads a yellow - orange layer of color to the brown hues of the wood. Naturally, wood grain and color vary with each instrument, each one being unique. We use only high quality parts. The tuning pegs, tuning keys and strings are made in Germany. You can listen to one of our instrument here: soundcloud.com/user-644266/10-string-ash-lyre You can also visit our Youtube channel for some videos with our products: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxumIewxJByVWG5f-oqUW-g ♦ ITEM DETAILS: ✔ European Ash wood ✔ Natural Shellac Finish ✔ Color range from light brown to dark brown ✔ Metal strings (plain steel and silver coated steel) ✔ Chrome tuning pins made by Rubner in Germany The instrument comes with a tuning key and a handmade textile bag. You will also receive instructions on how to tune the lyre. For more information after purchase you can contact us any time. ♦ PERSONALIZATION: We can engrave on your instrument: - name or initials - a quote, wishes or other text - a logo, image or clip art Please contact us for further details on personalization.
Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn. I'm part of a fantastic group of like minded crafters sharing inspiration in our monthly blog hop! This Month, we are sharing and featuring Watercolouring! Watercolouring is one of my favourite techniques - I can feel a bit artistic and not really need any skill!! The stamped images help do all the work for me! (And I do love the 'artistic look' of slightly messy watercolouring - no precision required!!) I'm featuring a NEW bundle/suite coming in our New Catalogue starting in May (perks of being a demonstrator is that I can get these things early!) called Country Woods. The background paper is the Country Woods DSP (and it has a look of watercolouring!!) and the stamp set is the Country Flowers stamp set. I've used watercolour paper and Saddle Brown stazon ink to stamp my images. I then added ink using a water painter. To add the ink, I smooshed my ink pad onto a stamping block, and then used my water painter to pick up the colour, water it down for changes in tone and shade, and then painted the image from the left to the right leaving some bits on the right side unpainted for light reflection. Inside the card is some more painted leaves and flowers just for fun!! Make sure you keep hopping to see LOTS of amazing projects!! I'm sure you'll love them all. Blog Hop Index Watercoloured Country Flowers Please head over to my online store if you wish to see these products in more detail - and you can place your order anytime (if you're in Australia) while you're there (even if you're in your pyjamas!!) And, if you can see yourself creating cards and sharing your love of papercrafts while inspiring others, perhaps you might be interested in joining my Stampin' Up! family - contact me to find out how.

Geoffrey Gorman is an artist that I fell in love with the first time I laid eyes on his work. (I know, I love a lot of them don't I!) The first image of his work I remember seeing was of a cat made of sticks and wrapped in canvas, fastened together with strips of leather and screws that left rust marks in a pattern that reminded me of an ocelot. For the past couple of years I have been watching his work evolve into more and more "sophisticated" forms. I am interested to see that his work has progressed but wonder exactly how it happened and you'll see what I mean in a moment. Gorman's early works were representations of animals who were free unto themselves, exhibiting their own personalities. I was able to easily imagine them with a companion, playing in the kitchen or fantasize about seeing them wandering the desert at dusk. Then his animals began appearing on pedestals, not tall ones but they were definitely no longer free. They were fastened to a block of some kind and became objects, somehow less animated than the earlier spirits he created. Gorman then pierced them and lifted them up off the ground as if stuck on pins in an invisible specimen box to be adored and preserved like perfectly preserved specimens of museum taxidermy. I wonder if this was a conscious decision on his part or if is has just been the result of a free spirited artist attempting to conform to some gallery owners idea of what a "contemporary art sculpture" should be. Personally, I hope to see his creatures break free from the platforms, pedestals, and specimen pins and return to their wild animated state, (which they are starting to do). That was what really drew me to them in the the first place; the idea that one day I might meet up with one of his creatures quite unexpectedly on a walk in the woods...
