IT'S FINALLY FINISHED... Usually I work in a sketchbook - keeping my notes and samples as work progresses but this time I have written an 18 page set of notes on this bodice. Putting the photos straight into the document - when I print it out it will be a booklet style record of the creation of the Klimt Bodice, and it will be stored with the folder of samples. I originally started with the Klimt like fabric samples on a course back 25th August 2007 - these were discovered again on Tuesday 14th October 2008 - this was the date I started this bodice!! SO it has taken me very, very nearly a whole year to complete!!! I did leave it for ages when I was stuck but now I can proudly say it is finished.
Over the last couple of days I have been hand edging the bodice and today I applied the eyelets - this is the job I find the most scary - if they go wrong the whole garment is ruined. Anyway they went well and as you can see I even painted them to help blend them with the fabric. Next I made the lacing cord and it was done... So here is......(drum roll please)....the Klimt bodice...................

Congratulations Anna, it's stunning! I love the colours too.
WOW - what a stunning piece. I love all the detail and the subtle colours. Will you be displaying it somewhere for people to look at?
Wow, what an amazing piece! Your hard work paid off. I love the colors and textures on it.
Lovely - well done!
Nice to see the finished product...does it now need one of your fabulous skirts to set it off? Still coming to grips with technology. How on earth do I ensure that my blog has acomments button?? Help???
