Late Saturday afternoon, a truly fabulous wedding party arrived on the beach to have their photos done. The men wore extremely sharp suits with trilbies.
Make a "sharp" photo today any way you interpret it, either tack-sharp focus or a subject that is sharp itself.
There was a fine exhibition of sculpted ivory from the Habsburg Kunstkammer collection on display in the Kunsthistoriches museum (Vienna, Austria). The lighting was very dim, precluding sharp photography without a (forbidden) tripod. This was one that almost worked.

Generally every winter I get a Coopers Hawk patrolling the yard. This winter it appears it is a Sharp-shinned hawk's territory.

This lining isn't as interesting as my other pieces, but it's made from a super soft cotton men's dress shirt.
In both this and the last piece, I encased the boning between the layers of the corset. Most patterns indicate that you should sew your boning casing (which is usually ribbon or bias tape) to the lining, going through all the layers. But I also have one pattern that calls for the casing on the outside, in a pretty contrasting color. I haven't been able to get a straight answer out of other corset makers as to whether it makes a difference structurally if your bone cases are sewed to the outside, the inside, or lie between the layers like I've done mine. I have been warned that it's paramount that because the seams are weak points, they have to be reinforced by stitching near the seams that go through all the layers. So I've done that, and I don't feel that the seams are particularly weak at all.
In fact, the weakest places on the corsets I've made tend to be the eyelets, although investing in a good pair of sharp, micropoint scissors and reinforcing the fabric beneath the eyelets with fraystop has helped immensely. I also plan to switch to 2-pc grommets instead of the single piece eyelets for my next project.
