How to finish
I really want to get this belt finished, but I'm still sans Stiff Stuff, so, the medallions have had to go on the back burner. But, I did take the liberty of pinning the belt onto my exercise pants to see how it would look, and I'm pleased as punch!
The piece that I had previously planned to use as a headdress, is now the front panel of the belt. And there is just about enough space on each hip for a 3" medallion. How hot is that?
And I haven't really had a chance to spend any time beading, but I did finish the length of thread I'd started on the elephant. So far so good.
Oh, and I think I might bring my Nefertare collars back out. I wore one to class yesterday, and it received so many compliments, that I thought it might be smart to make a few different ones. Violet, our Yoga teacher, did mention (more than once) that she'd like to see one done in Amethyst. I'll have to hunt through my stash here... I think one would look awesome in pearls too.

And as for the belt, have you checked your local craft store for stiffened felt? My local Michael's has it in an assortment of colors, it's only a $1 or so a fairly large sheet and it seems to work as well as the Stiff Stuff from what I can tell so far. Email me and I can always mail you up some sheets for you to experiment with.
Oh yeah... HUBBA HUBBA you sexy waisted lady you! ;)
LoL! U make me LAUGH!!! yeah, sexy indeed.... Minus the 'war' wounds... :P
We're still waiting for our Michael's to open, they've been building it for about 5 weeks now, so it should be done shortly. LoL!
I believe it's why so many of our local little craft stores are all closing, they know they'll never be able to compete with the Big Guns... or at least their prices...
Which I totally hate, 'cause every little store in town is like a landmark around here, all been around for decades, and now they're being pushed out by the mass-purchasing giants. So sad. I love those little 'Mom & Pop' operations. Heck I want one! ;)
Oh Tanya, I've got 'guts' too, they're just cleverly dissimulated underneath the belt, LMBO! ;)
Actually, when it comes to performing, I do believe I'll be the dancer with the 'mesh' bodice on. I so hate my 'racing stripes' :P
Can't WAIT for the video!!!
:-D
No backing down now! LOL!
;-)
Oh, yeah, the, video... hee! hee! hee!Hey, where's YOUR video. I wanna see you baking in action! ;)
*pout*
I tried it out a few times...but, no sound!
no sound=no fun
:-P
lol
Oh I know Tea, I was SOOOOO happy when our local "Hobby Shoppe" failed to sell. It's a landmark here... I love walking in, it's a late 1800's building. Two doors to get in, the one on the left, takes you to the 'guy' stuff (models and stuff), the door on the right, to the 'girly' stuff (Beads!), but once inside, the two sides are connected by an archway. Fun.
Oh Maria, after trying my outfits on, I am TOTALLY in love with the red chiffon-trimmed black satin set. It fits me so well! I think you'd look SMOKIN' in the brown satin set!
I am SO looking into ordering a wholesale bulk load of belts from them! Those long ones I was telling you about!
Thanks. And oh, yeah, they DO look great in any color. They're opulent, not something you'd wear on a day-to-day basis, but they're soooo nice!
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it... ;)
