Happy Lundi and Mardi Gras to All!!

As I sit here stuffed from dinner and thinking of all of today's accomplishments and beautiful weather with gratitude, I share with you all my bustier's and costumes from the last four Flydays.  As a member of Persephone's Dragonflies, we have to fully bead a bustier each year.  I also like to make my skirt/tutu to go with the bustier. 

2010 - Bubblefly

2011 - Chesire Cat



I would seriously love to make costumes for a living.  My mom told me today that she finally got to read some of my blog posts and said that I should be a writer.  I'll take either. 

2012 - Katy Perry's "E.T."

My first year's (2009)bustier was Pink Pixie 'Fly.  Here it's spread out on the floor to see the whole thing.  I'm sure I have pictures with it on, but I was not able to locate them at the time of this post. 

Y'all have a very happy and safe remainder of carnival season!  Now that the studio is much more organized than it had been for the last several months (finishing up my master's and beading like mad for Flyday), expect many more art projects to ensue.
