Hello and Happy Holidays My Dears!

Today I have photos to show you of my most recently completed corset. It was commissioned for a lady by her boyfriend. How sweet is he?! Happily it was completed just in time for Christmas and he presented it to her last night. :)

Inspired by the Japanese sumi-e paintings of cherry blossoms, this corset features four different colors of leather, including a satiny hair-on-hide texture on the pink cherry blossom petals. At the center of the blossoms are genuine freshwater pearls.

Hello Corsetlovers,

I just got back some new photos of the Halloween costumes I made for my boyfriend and I. I had posted a couple of quick candid shots we took at a Day of the Dead celebration, but I think these images by Rob Manko are much better! Take a look:

I recently completed this luxe little number and it definitely takes the prize for greatest quantity of Swarovski crystal that I have ever put on a corset. The crystals on the buckles are a staggering 1"x1.5", and this makes me very happy indeed! :D I came up with this design after trying to solve the dilemma of how to make a busk front corset which is fully crystallized without the busk detracting from the overall look. As you can see my answer was to make these custom buckles to cover the loops and knobs of the busk. The overall design was inspired by the works of Faberge and makes me think of an opulent little jewel box. I think the client should do a photo shoot dressed as a Russian Czarina, don't you? ;)

For those of you who are interested, I am currently accepting new commissions via my website,
Wilde Hunt Corsetry.

Hi Corsetlovers,

It was really fun to get this "super" commission from one of my clients in California but I think it will be even more fun getting the photos back from her "Wonder"-ful Halloween party. ;)

Hello Corset Friends,

I want to share with you the results of one of my recent commissions for my company Wilde Hunt Corsetry. Please pardon our construction, we are doing a lot of work on the website.

My client is an Iraq veteran who is taking part in an USO themed pinup photo shoot. Since she wanted something really unique so she would really stand out at the photo shoot, I got drafted for service! ;) My client requested I incorporate some of the actual medals and insignia that she wore on her real uniform. I even went so far as to recreate some of them in leather! It really was a blast to make such a fun piece and I can't wait to see the photos from her photo shoot!

I hope you enjoy seeing her completed corset and I'd love to speak with you regarding your corset commission. I am booking clients now for Halloween and the big fall conventions like Dragon Con. You can reach me directly at larissa (at) wildehunt.com .

I am pleased to share my newest corset with the community! I hope you enjoy it!

I am pleased to share our first corset video with the LJ community. It is a custom made black patent leather corset featuring traditional Victorian motifs which are hand-appliquéd in contrasting silver and paired with our signature dazzling electrical lighting in violet. According to the wearer's wishes, this corset is able to transition through two hypnotic blink modes as well as a steady on feature. All of these features combine to make a remarkable impression for evening wear. Like all creations by Wilde Hunt Corsetry, all of the work in this corset is done by hand in our atelier where we have many interesting options available for the color of the electrical wire and type of leather used in the corset. Inquiries for commissioned work are welcomed at our website: www.wildehunt.com. And please consider following us on Twitter ( http://twitter.com/Wilde_Hunt ) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/wilde.hunt.corsetry).

Here is a letter that is written, I believe, by Giger's assistant. I really love the grumpy, impatient tone that it has. I like that it is old fashioned and advocates doing real work to create art. I come back and read this occasionally because I think it is good advice.
