Very neat, Teppy. Was that as much painstaking work as I think it was?
The only painstaking part was weaving the skinny white rope into the inverted V shapes on the front of the corset. The rest of it is REALLY easy and fairly quick. You just make a larkshead, loop the rope through the larkshead, wrap the rope around the arm (or torso), and go back and forth with it. The gauntlet and the corset are done exactly the same way -- just different locations.
(The top part of the corset -- the part that goes around the neck and across the chest -- isn't actually part of a rope corset; it's a different thing, and most rope corsets are made without it. The bottom part of the corset -- the part that went down in front of the general pants-zipper area -- is ALSO not part of a rope corset; I just had leftover rope and wanted to do something decorative with it.)
That is really cool, Teppy.
How are you feeling today, Anne?
It's not quite Wake Up With Hugh Laurie, but how about a little Fry In The Afternoon?
TWOMF. Hee.
I'm more overall achy today than yesterday. Judging from the bruises on my knees, I hit the floor a lot harder than I thought, and I started to feel it this morning. What's really worrying is that I've had a few more bouts of near-lightheadedness when I start doing things too quickly. I'm giving my doctor a call tomorrow.
Rope corset is HAWT, Steph.
Love the rope corset! Really lovely.
I can't remember who was asking about cancer treatment for their friend, but I just heard about Cleaning for a Reason, which cleans houses for women who are undergoing treatment for cancer (any kind).
how about a little Fry In The Afternoon?
"Praised be the tweet." The man is a genius. And that's particularly odd directly after watching Doctor Who.
(Wake Up With Hugh Laurie will resume on a day when I, well, stay awake for a large proportion of it. Which will probably be tomorrow.)
