Swashbuckler's Soiree 2008








































Welcome to The 2008 Swashbuckler's Soiree


Hosted by Donna O'Brien Creator of The Ribbon Crowned, the first On-line Party I have been invited to and I hope there's more in the future!

All my designs are my very own and were conjured up late in the evenings.....My inspirations came from my tea stained crepe and it all flowed from there...Literally! The crepe dress and the tea stained petticoat are gathered together and beautifully wrapped with a crossed stitch corset and naval buttons and tied with a gold satin ribbon. The Sword is covered with fine German Glass glitter and then naval buttons embellish the handle. Glittered Glass Ships! Her gallant dress is then beautifully protected with a giant shell bustier and generously covered with hand creped flowers, dusted shells,jewels, and tea stained ruffle. Her hat is ever so poised with feathers, chandelier crystals and such! The scepter speaks for itself. And Booty....She 's got booty, a whole lot of it!

I hope you all enjoy my crepe creations and feel free to leave me a comment or two, I love reading how my work transcends into other's lives and stirs their emotions.


Thank you For stopping by and enjoy the rest of your evening at the Swashbuckler's Soiree! To view other artist's work this evening please navigate to http://www.donnaobrien.typepad.com/

Stunning. Brings out the girly-girl in every female pirate. And no better scepter could be had! Or sword, for that matter! Truly the belle of the ball, after Mistress Donna of course ;- )

Oh wow what a gorgeous corset! If only I could have worn that dress to the soiree! Jack would've had a hard time ignoring me!!!
