Hoorah,

The pasties for the Tournement of Tease on September 20th are now finished...I'm keeping my character firmly underwraps, until the big unveiling, but I thought I'd share with you the pasties we've just finished.

Made from a rice crispie box (never managed to find buckrum), feathers and sequins!

Hope some of you will be able to see them in 'action' in September.

They look fantastic, I am working on a pair of "Witch Pasties,"
Eat your heart out Madonna!

Oooh, lovely fiery phoenix colouring on those! My inner pyromaniac is grinning terribly.
I just finished my first pair of pasties, mostly to see if I could make them, and I can't help but think of cherry bakewells! Snow white with a little bright red heart in the centre of each one. Of course, cherry bakewells don't have crystal bead edging or feathers adorning them. I hope not anyway.

Thank you, your white ones sound lovely - you should post a picture!
I love the fact that they are make-able at home. Obviously not as professional (or light) as bought ones, but they add an extra touch to a costume. I'm not sure I could make tassled ones though - might end up being off centre and twirling oddly!

Not having worn pasties before (the shock! the amazement!), I'm not sure how rigid they need to be- at the moment, they're just cones of craft felt with added extras. According to my logic, the flexibility of the felt should make them easier to stick or wear- but not having worn them, I wouldn't know. The feathers are fluffier than I'd like them to be, but I couldn't find any craft stores when I was out on Saturday and ended up going to John Lewis instead and all they had was fluff...
Still, here's the result-

I have several pairs of pasties and they range in flexibility from rigid to quite supple. I would recommend that if you plan to do any striptease and wear them under a bra that you make sure they're quite rigid. Every time I wear my roulette pasties they get squished by my bra because the backing is quite flexible ...

I love the white pasties, very Ice Queen!

There's a thought! Fire and Ice pasties- your fiery phoenix set and my cherry bakewell/ice queen set. Has the fire/ice contrast been done by a pair of performers before? It could look lovely.
