off the chain.


i made this harness out of various chains a couple of weeks ago and it has been sitting on my form until now. i like how it looks like ribs, and thought on my next one i would add some more chain/ribs. i have always loved working with chain, and have made so many of these types of body chains, but this one was extra big and gold, so i love it--the bigger and blingier the better! i also made the bra out of a pair of red fishnet tights. i don't usually wear bra's unless i need coverage or a pop of color, and have been craving a red one, of course. voila! i hope you are enjoying your day. what are your plans for easter weekend? do tell!

  2. I've been wanting to make some body chains and harnesses. Yours is great. It will look great if you add more chains as well. Anywho have a good Easter weekend!

  9. do you have any not DIYed clothing? haha. I do like this body chain a lot though. I have made some too, but theyre never as good as I want... I'm thinking some leather might help that...

  10. I was watching the DVD of Jersey Shore tonight and obsessing over Sammi's frequently worn, tiny denim shorts. And here you are in tiny denim shorts!

  11. I was about to ask you where you got that AMAZING red bra, but then I saw that you made it yourself. I'm going to move past the fact that I'm bummed I can't go get on myself, and ask will you do a DIY of a bra like that?

  12. I really love every chain jewel and I was hardly thinking of buying a body chain, I think it's perfect for spring/summer when you take off the coat...
    I usually wear shorts + thigh high's and I love!

  19. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous as usual! Love the chain. Love the fishnet bra, esp the ties- how cute! You're killing me with those shoes. I covet them badly. I'm totally going to steal that studded pocket idea on the shorts. Freakin love that.

    Easter weekend? Painting & (hopefully) moving into the new studio today. Church tomorrow, of course. Easter egg hunt. Easter baskets. Easter dresses for me & my mini-me.

  23. And once again I am in awe.
    Have a fabulous weekend, we're not doing Easter here this year, apart from handing out chocolate (though I'm getting books, lol) as it is my brother's 21st Birthday.

  24. your talent amazes me every. single. time. i've been looking for heavy gold chain for a couple of weeks with no luck so for now I'm going to totally live vicariously through your awesomeness.

    as for easter? I get to sit inside and do homework. hate it.

  25. Amazing! I love it, I am especially head over heels for those navy thigh-high socks!! I want!

  26. those tiny beads are pretty time consuming, so i'm thinking i might do a more minimalistic navajo theme with some big chunks of turquoise? we'll see.
