Last month I danced at an 80th birthday party for a wonderful man named Steve! It was hot and humid but it was still a blast!

Happy Birthday to Steve!!

I am almost done with my coin goddess costume. I sewed in all the lining and hooks. I just have to add a couple more coins to the neckstrap..and do the coin draping. I am so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to take some photos, so here are some previews.

I got so much done today.

-I finished sewing the coins to the other side strap
-repositioned some of the top coins
-finished adding coins on bra
sewed the lining

I have to add the coins to the neck straps and then the hooks. Then I can add the draping.

This is what the underside looked like. thousands of tiny strings from all the hours of painfully attaching each coin individually.

Added the cording. Started adding coins to sides of bra. Attached pendents. Pendents were made with filgree pieces with mirrors glued underneath.

I have made quite a bit of progress on my coin costume. I finally got the rest of the gold coins drilled so that I can finish this up…hopefully in time for the ACCMED show in August. I am procrastinating on making the big filigree pendents w/ mirrors….still trying to figure that out. I have all the chain..and danglies ready to go…I still have a couple to add to the bra cup…and to finish up the front of the belt. If I have enough coins I will add them to the sides of the bra and straps too.
