Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself, I am a figure competitor, a native Californian, I am very inspired by this web site and forum more specifically. I love Tad's energy and positive thoughts towards everyone and I hope to keep the positive exchanges going.
Thank you very much Nancy! Don't let her fool you folks she is a great IFBB figure Pro. And best of all, she has a wonderful sensability about life, competing and herself. Thank you for being a part of my forum Nancy, I know you will add so much value.
Hi activediva, thank you for the compliments, I actually love to stone my own suits, it is a lot of fun and not too hard to do, save a bunch of $$$ too.
Tad, you are too funny, thank you for your compliments. I love your attitude.
Your suit is beautiful! Who makes your suits? That must take alot of time to glue each stone on. It is great to have a pro Figure girl here to chat with about training,diet and all that entails this lifestyle
Well CCfitwear makes my suits, and I stone them myself. www.ccfitwear.com
Also I wrote about rhinestones, glue, mannequins, how many stones, what size and everything you could want to ask in my newletter, check out my February and March archieves for all the info you need. Let me know after that if you have more questions.
I'm going to check out those sites If I could do my own stoning, I'd save a bunch of $$.
You just buy the basic suit from CCfitwear & do your own crystals? How long does it take you to glue two suits?
It is hard to say because I usually stone them little by little. I will stone for a few hours then take a break, maybe try the suit on, put it back on the manequin and wait for more inspiration as to where to put the next stones. I think anywhere from 6-14 hours per suit, depending on how many stones. I think the one piece in my avatar was about 14 hours. But remember, I do it little by little, so it is pretty fun. And...that suit is covered in stones, probably 2,000 or more stones on that one.
hello everyone, new here
