Since then I've picked my shapes and got to work with the manipulations, at first I chose boning,quilting and biscuiting because i didnt know which one i liked more.  Soon i narrowed it down to boning and biscuiting.  I love the biscuiting and I loved the boning, but together (unfortunetly) they did'nt really work, so after long debates with myself I decided to give up the biscuiting and just work with the boning! I will upload photos of the boning and the biscuiting now so you can see for youself..

 So I have decided to go with just boning on its own and create a voluminous structure with it! I really like the idea and I'm very excited to get working on that now hopefully have a good start at it over the weekend.  I dont quite have a final design yet but when I play around with lots of boning on the manican.

After sacrificing my lovely boning :) I then got an idea that the knots might tie into the design quite well now and it suits the sourcl. I will do up lines of knots in the leather and pin then to the boning to decide if they are right for it and if so where will I place them...?
