Finally! :D

the pride of my gallery! :) if this won't leave you green with envy.. i think i can say i will never reach that goal!

About the piece:
THIS BRA WAS ENTIRELY CONSTRUCTED FROM BEADS! and is not a bead embroidery on top of a bra.
The strap around was a CRIME! sooooo long (70 cm) soooooooooo boring... i strung it twice in squarestitch and then again with nylon for extra support.
I reckon i have taken over 30 hours on the strap alone.... so plus minus 50 hours of work in this piece.

Modelled pictures will be done in the future! so keep an eye out for them!


credits to:
~apoc69 Was it not for me and matt discussing his chainmail bra's :worship: matt would never have challenged me to do this.
*passenger-nq Matt, hope you ought it proven a bra can be made from beads. Thanks for the challenge! ive had a great time creating this.
and last but not least to Beadshop cabeadle, for freely giving me the basic pattern of there bow and letting me modify and use it :)



Materials:
- japanese seedbeads #9 (2 colours)
- japanese bugles 15 mm (2 colours)
- ribbon
- metalwire (cups)
- nylon and bead thread

techniques:
- squarestitch
- freeform netting

i am however happy for you to use this idea to build upon.

love esther
