Carolina Casbah

Carolina Casbah was a huge success! The show was so much fun and I am so glad I was a part of the team to help organize it. All the performers were great and the live music by the Lost Nomads was a great treat!

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.
