🪴🥀Deadly nightshade ☠️🌿

—what a mood! 

This was a huge challenge for me to create all around but it came out beautifully! From the top—I colored yards upon yards of chiffon multiple times to create something that appeared organic. It was never meant to be a perfect blend. I wanted to use a variety of poisonous, tropical, and carnivorous plants in lieu of just typical ivy. I created hand beaded “bleeding heart” dangles to add interest without overdoing it with rhinestones like I usually do. Bleeding hearts are gorgeous and poisonous…look them up! I wanted the velvet to be noticeable like fuzz on a stem. I love the contrast in textures. The inspiration was taken from a mental picture of the life cycle of a flower. Full bloom, losing petals, and finally just a stem. (Whoa…too far Gingy…shut it that’s how my brain works…over the top and deep without people noticing…this is for me🤣) I added a zipper to the corset, sewed all of the bleeding hearts, and then rhinestoned. I designed an asymmetrical panty with a matching classic triangle bra. The set features velvet and mesh fabric to add interest and a peek-a-boo element for tease. The pasties are velvet and shaped like ivy leaves with bleeding hearts coming out of the center. Tiny ivy leaves were rhinestoned and sewn on the palms of green velvet gloves. My headpiece was constructed in a couple hours using buckram, velvet, flowers, rhinestones, and loads of fishing line. I always used fishing line for strength. 

The biggest compliment of the night came from someone who said I moved like a legend and used my pieces like a legend. For me…that’s the goal. Any time someone notices my nods to those classic moves and vibes…I am thrilled. 💋
