Finished corset numero uno!

Looking back at the last post.. I have done soooo much more work! I have really enjoyed this project.. although it has been stressful.. and ofcourse there is even more stress to come, but I can finally see my collection coming together, over the next few days/weeks I'll mainly be uploading pictures just to show my progress along with some annotations.. OFCOURSE!
But this is where I'm at..

 The start of my second work of art! This corset is going to be much MUCH more textual, with threads and fabric stitched into it to create depth and the sense of a body being slashed into violently by Jack the Ripper. I have started with the base, being these heat transfers which I am sewing into the corset instead of transferring them on because the surface isnt flat.

 This corset is actually finished but this is the only photo I can find showing it to its closest finished state.

 I layered fabric over eachother and burnt through to create these realist cuts to stitch into the corset.

 Coming on a blast!.. Although I really dont like this corset at all, I guess I am proud of what I have done so far.

 More burning!

 Just some super quick designs to jot down a few of my ideas..

 to be continued..

progress..

So.... I have been creating my latex corset... and doing SO MUCH research into bodies and anatomy.. and muscle fibres and ortopsy's... YUM.
So far I am pleased with the corset.. I just need it to come alive a bit, by adding lots of lace dipped in latex to create that kind of gory bloody effect!

for fun! yay

no hems.. but the start of something gruesome!

LOVE LOVE LOVE how the wording came out in the corset, they actually look like they are underneath and inbetween layers of skin

my stiching is to represent the muscle fibres in the tearing of the victims bodies

This was what my corset was based on, i have changed a few bits, but more or less stuck to what i had imagined it to look like.

Just a quick drawing of Catherine Eddowes number 4 victim!

dont have too many nightmares! :D
