Sirens


I've just about finished making the corset for my assignment.  It's inspired by the sirens of Greek mythology: half bird and half woman, they would sing and play beautiful enchanting music to sailors, with the aim of luring them to shipwreck on the rocky coast of the island where the lived.
According to legend, Odysseus saved himself and his sailors from temptation by blocking the sailors' ears with wax and tying himself to the mast so that he could not steer towards the music.
