WOYWW 201

 Well, here we are again at Julia's place for another week of fun!   This week I have been working on a steampunk corset I am making for a half mannequin I found in a skip.   I have lots of shaping to do and gears, chains etc., to add later, but am laying down the foundation at the moment.
 Am using 2" pieces of card that I have spray painted to make it look rusty, and then embossed with a metal look embossing folder.
Ordered 900 jump rings which arrived yesterday, so am ready with small pliers.   I need to 'dirty' it up a bit, and add a few jagged edges here and there.   Will post a photo of the finished article when it is done.
Now over to stampinground.co.uk to see what is happening.  Happy WOYWW everybody.
