More Bling for Phyllis






Poor Phyllis. It's snowed about six inches since 9am today and she's lucky to be wearing a one piece suit right now. At least we aren't making her go out and shovel snow. After Abbie and Maja looked at the suit, it was decided that we needed more stones. The photos really don't do it justice...I think that we need motion to really see the shine of these stones, but at least the pics give us an idea of layout. I put about twice the stones on there since yesterday's pic.


I also did Abbie's two piece. The stones are amethyst and crystal. There are about...5 gross amethyst and four gross crystal stones! Again, it looks better in motion, but I think this pattern is pretty cool.
Okay, everyone: Keep warm and dry. Here in the greater Cincinnati area it's supposed to snow another six or eight inches in the next 24 hours. The weather guys are so excited! I'm happy for the weather guys, and also glad that we get to listen to something other than primary election crap!

One suit down, seven to go


Okay, I have been lax in posting here, haven't I? I've been very busy elsewhere. The posing suit thing is taking off, which is cool, because it means---income! At least it might mean income somewhere down the line. Right now I'm doing well to cover my costs!
Here is Daniel modeling Abbie's one piece for the NKY NPC which will take place March 22 at the Northern Kentucky convention Center. Doesn't it look good on him? He needs some tanning, but other wise I think it will work. He's leaning out nicely (that's body building jargon...).
This is a one-piece that I made as a trial for Maja, but it was way too short in the torso, so I jeweled it up last night as a sample. This is basically what you get for $150 right now...a suit and 144 20ss crystals. The ones on here are not Swarovski, I was experimenting with a cheaper glass kind...and they look cheaper...not near as much pop as the Swarovski (see Abbie's suit above!)

It's kind of amazing how little coverage you get with 144 crystals! Not much bling at all. Abbies suit has about 4 gross applied right now, and I think I need to add another 2. My pictures don't do it justice, but it really shines in person!
