When I was younger, like high school age, I attended a vocational school that allowed me to take high school classes at the same time as technical Bilingual secretarial studies. A vital part of the uniform were nude color pantyhose’s and shoes with a small heel. I remember the pantyhose’s being annoying, and they would tear so easily; but after 3 years I had become accustomed to them. It seemed like such a girly piece of clothing, delicate and smooth. So, when I was trying to come up with a design for a fragrance that is very girly and perfume like, I remembered the pantyhose’s. However, since a nude color soap sounded too plain, I decided to make them into fishnet pantyhose’s, so that I could add some texturing/inlaid technique and stenciling.
Below is the video of the making and the supplies for it.
