Thanks you, everyone, for the positive feedback!  I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Ye goddess! You look like a warrior milkmaid... fierce and fetching...

"Fetching"!  Hehehe  That made me giggle.  

twylag, stangely the colors were inspired by an old episode of Xena.  There is a warrior woman, which I think was called Najara or something in the 4th season, that had on a blue and tan leather costume that was interesting.  I liked the light color combination together.  I was thinking of light spring colors and it just popped in my head.  Odd where we find inspiration for things, huh?  

McJulie-O, the color design, which I'm calling "intarsia" after the knitting technique, was something I was experimenting on a while ago on a hat.  The front might look nice, but it can look pretty crazy on the back side.  Still trying to perfect my skills.  

Its awesome i'd love to do something like that.

This corset took about 3 days.  2 to build it and 1 to assemble it.  I've had some practice making me pretty quick, but I keep redoing parts, which slows me down.  

My mom is wanting a new one, now.  So, I guess I better get back to work.
