corsets
This armor in the Metropolitan Museum is what got me started on corsets. They are so restrictive. But they can be quite beautiful. An armature.

inspiration boards
I think it is very important for a visual person to keep the images that spark passion in them close at hand. Living in a tiny apartment for years I have done away with the stacks of magazines and instead tear the pages that make my heart flutter. There are images that will stick in your head your entire life but it is awfully nice to have it in hand.
