Crikey Aphrodite

For anyone who's in the area, I'll be attending a wedding fair at Airdrieonians Football Club (Shyberry Excelsior Stadium) on March 7th.
I don't know anymore details at the moment, but I'll post them when I have them.

I'll have a sample or two with me and some garters. It should be quite small but there'll be a good variety of tables. I don't like these huge fairs anyway. The stadium is very nice, I've been  there in the past on hospitality and the meal was lovely.

It'll be odd being on my home patch! I wonder if anyone will come in that I know!

 I completed this corset last October, but I've never got around to posting. My camera batteries haven't been holding a charge and have been driving me nuts, hence the lack of pics lately!

The colour is hard to capture, especially as these were snapped quickly. It's a midnight/royal blue. I had the devil of a job matching the satin to the glitter as it changes shade so much.

A pic without flash showing the external casing and the very well behaved duchess satin.

I was holding back on these samples as I was hoping to take part in a Christmas shopping weekender locally. However the venue has gone into administration causing the event to be cancelled. So rather than them taking up space in my workroom I'm offering them for sale on my Etsy shop.

Neither corset has been worn, or even tried on. They were simply test samples.

I'm starting work on the sleeping beauty outfit. The corset will be stays made from the raspberry and cream toile print and the skirt will be layers of cotton voile with some tulle veiling layered in for texture. I want it to be romantic and textured. Soft. Rather underwear like.
The model we have is a very slim blonde girl who I think will look quite fragile and pale. Well if you've been asleep all those years you would be!

(grr picasa  & LJ don't mix!)



Apologies for the blurry pic. Photobucket is mucking about, Picasa won't seem to work with LJ (and that's where my phone camera loads to) and for some reason direct uploads come out blurry. It's just not happening tech-wise today!

I've finally set up a proper facebook page for Crikey Aphrodite

After the more traditional shoot, we mucked about and punked it up a bit. We're going to do a better set of these, so I'll change the skirt a bit more for it and we'll be using better lighting.  But this is the general idea.

Some more pics from the shoot. The first of the ones taken inside as a test for the studio shoot.

and didn't see the post on my other journal. This is delirium71  I've decided to split my journals into personal (mostly rants and ramblings) and professional. This journal will be all the corset and sewing information and eye-candy and is under my company name.
I think I've covered everyone on my friends lists and added them here and I'll be delighted if they add me back.

Anyone else who wants to add me here, feel free to do so. No asking necessary.

I will probably be editing my list on my other journal down to only people I speak with regularly. Please don't be offended if I remove  you from there. If you added me from Corsetry or Corsetmakers then this will be the journal that will interest you anyway.

I've decided to separate my personal journal from my business one. A very welcome to anyone who has transferred over from delirium71 or who has added me in addition. To anyone new altogether, I hope you enjoy my posts and feel free to add me. You don't need to ask me formally on this journal, everyone is welcome.
