Ride of the Valkyries  
A funny thing happened to me at fight practice last night. I got wrapped in duct-tape. Not only that, I got corseted in duct-tape. Yes, a duct-tape bodice, which made me look rather like I was about to step out on stage and sing Brunhilda. It was fun. Now I have a bodice pattern. Ginger says it should be made of leather. Which is an option, I suppose. Leather "boobs on a platter" could work. Though there could be several bodice-interpretations made from this pattern.

Another interesting thing is the fact that since I came from yoga to fight practice, and had been taking yoga off-and-on for like 2 years or more now, that my posture is still pretty good. Which meant that the back piece of my bodice was a striaght line that could be cut on the fold of the fabric. So instead of 6 bodice pieces, I've got 5. Cool. :) Apparently most people aren't that way. Thank you yoga!

I still have the duct-tape wrap as it was cut off my body. Well half of it is in one piece, the other was transferred to paper to make the official pattern. I shall have to make a mock-up soon. Then get my hands on some fabric to actually make something of the pattern. And then wear it for Yule. Or some other event since I've got plans for garb for 7 Deadlies.

Okay... must run along now...
