EARTHY AND BRONZE FOR A TRIBAL BELLYDANCER

The majority of my client don't give me an exact idea of what they want, I get given the colours, and some links to pix of what they like, and they trust me to follow my creative mojo.

This tribal coin bra was created by covering a purchased bra using skin coloured lycra, and then with browny bronze lacy braid. 

Each bead/coin combo was individually sewn on in a random pattern as I wasn't given enough of the same type of coin, and I wanted to disguise this and made all the coins look like the same type,  

If you can't see the difference in the coins ... 

YAY 

... I won!



The straps were beaded so that the retain their stretch (special technique)



and I added chains and coins.


This is a  very heavy bra,  (and 'noisy'),  as all those  metal coins and chains jingle a lot, and thankfully the client LOVED it.

Thanks for visiting today.
