The vessel I blogged about last weekend put me in mind of the shape of a dress which is why I added the two 'handles'.
So I thought that maybe I would create a series of vessels based on costume - Historical, Theatrical, whatever - and call them 'Dressels'.
These two here are just for fun really. Both made using the same technique as the last vessel - painted Bondaweb, Foil (courtesy of Fibre in-Form) and organza, layered then embellished by machine.
This first one is based on a costume from Cirque du Soleil.
And this one is based on a Ra-Ra skirt.Hands up who remembers those :)
This piece of fabric though, which looks fantastic in the right light, I am saving for the next one which I will put a lot more thought into.

What fun Lynda... and what fabulous colours and texture.
Boy, are you into a great series. Each one is so special-makes me want to rust to my machine. Sandy
Great idea - I can't wait to see the rest of the series.
Dressels :-) That's a wonderful idea! Love both! Can't wait to see whats next. How big are they?
These are wonderful. I am intrigued as to which costume from Cirque du Soleil gave you inspiration. I think I know which one - I am a great fan of Cirque du Soleil and and find the costumes, colours and everything about the shows such a feast for the eyes and soul.
Love your work.
these vessels seem to have grabbed you with real inspiration - lovely work, I'm really enjoying seeing you be so inventive.
Fantastic, I just love the idea of the series based on costume,
the colours of the top dressel are stunning,I remember the Ra Ra's, but was too old to wear them :(
I look forward to seeing no 3, if the fabric is any thing to go by it will be stunning.
Oh my god, what a series this will be! I love the rara skirt, oh i so remember them! The 80's was not my friend!!! You are getting better and better results with this technique. Love the proportion of the rara better than the top one, but both colours are just lovely. Got to get moving on mine!
What else can I say but brilliant!!!! I love the texture and colours of the first one and can't wait to see what you do with the 3rd Dressel, great name BTW.
You rock girl all of the "dressels" are fantastic and I am in awe of what you are doing.
Awesome! How do you come up with this stuff?
Your dressels are so much fun. I love the concept, you are always so imaginative.
Stellar! Great idea for a yummy series!
What a brtilliant source of inspiration, I'd love to see
the Cirque du Soleil. I really love the colours on the last one, the orange works so well with the gold, can't wait to see what you do with it.
Wonderful collection of dressels, and what a great idea.But I dont remember ra ra dresses, cha cha yes but ra ra?
ohhh! the RA RA!!!! just love it- and with high heel sneakers for the perfect outfit :).

Great Idea Lynda! I love the look of it and especially the last picture is great, can't wait where you come up with next!
If this is what you produce without thinking can't wait to see what happens when you try!!!! Magic. I particularly like the first one, looks like it came from the V&A.
I adore your Dressels they are just fabulous.
The textures and colours are just so wonderful.
You are such an inspiration.
Oh Wow! I love these. You just keep out doing yourself. These look like so much fun to create. I am so inspired by your talent.
That's it! I've got to try some of these!
Fantastic once again, thanks for sharing.

LOVE the rara skirt...cool idea.
Wow! It's all been said, Lynda. These are fantastic and yes, I remember the Ra-Ra but I was never brave enough to wear one! The orange is gorgeous. Look forward to seeing what comes next.
