Last week I worked on the steel bones (I even bought a crazy expensive shiny new bolt-cutter-thingy that makes cutting strange metal bits really enjoyable!)

Then I spent a few hours torturing my neigbours – in an attempt to get all those rivets to behave. A “tool” had to be built in order to beat them into submission (quite literally).  Also, I hurt myself. There was blood.

I wonder if the corset will be finished by the 8th. I am almost done with the embellishments, but there are a few things I haven’t worked out yet.

And then there are the skirt and the petticoat … I haven’t even started thinking about them, but we’ll see …
