      you are a heroine! i'm amazed and delighted by your endeavor and your personality! thx for taking us along.
      i just saw an amazing ARTE docu about thierry mugler that also showcases the chimera-dress and thought i'll post the link for you although the docu is in german.
      but sooo many amazing dresses of decades of his work:

    “You can imagine that it’s finished…but it’s not.” This is how I do every project ever. Use my hand to block off the unfinished bit and just pretend it’s all done several times during the process lol. It’s the only way I can keep going in tedious projects. It’s lovely to know it’s a universal feeling experience.

    Oh my god, each time I see the finished parts of the dress I get a feeling probably akin to what you have described upon seeing the original for the first time. So much work and soul has been put into it already and it is very unique but also undoubtedly breathtakingly beautiful.
    The scale textures, the metal, the overall structure (and the fact that this thing is going to MOVE???) completely blur the lines between different art forms for me.
    I know I’m just rambling at this point but this is like the epitome of art to me. The personal value, the hard work, the community, the inspiration, the craftsmanship, the history, the nature, the dedication, the clash of a thousand different techniques with a thousand different origins… Honestly, if I had to explain to an alien what it is that I love about humanity, I would probably show them your work. Phenomenal.
    P.S. I feel so sorry for your hands after that brass cutting session, hopefully they got some rest and a massage

      I think she may want to try her hand with copper. It's much easier to hammer & cut ! Plus, with heat & cooling of the metal, you can get some cool effects. Also, treating with different chemicals, you can get a verdigris finish, plus other colors.
      A book on weather vanes might be a good start for her. I hope she reads this comment while in the USA, I know the materials for making weather vanes & the books are easier to find in the USA. Though, I would love to hear about if the French have weather vanes or "whirlygigs" there ! ( A whirlygig is a small wind powered toy - sometimes wood, or tin, or copper ! A craft that 'Grandpa's' in the country used to make ! )
