Virtual visit- Balenciaga via NYPL

    

I am often visiting the New York Public Library website. I find it tremendously valuable in many ways. It is a creative compendium of media. I like to look up digital images that can be inspirational for whatever I am thinking about for the day. Retro is always in stye and I think we all can learn something from the past. This is especially true for fashion. Well made clothing rules follow tried and true designs. The photo above from Andre Studios as part of a collection of sketches that can be found on the NYPL site in collaboration with the Fashion Institute of Technology is truly a wonderful public gift-free-priceless!

Take a look for yourself! Print out one or more and hang them! Together they can form a lovely decoration stylishly hung on a wall. 

Another cool wall suggestion *

These lovely letters came from the Marie Claire idees website. Print them out, gratis, of course-um, for non-french speaking, that's free! And hang them on your wall-





    

Then you can cover them with a plastic or vinyl sleeve, apply some double stick tape and voila!

It's instant decor art!



Medallions are so old school cool

When I think of medallions, I think of the old school rapper's style. The gianormous (did I spell that right?) gold medallions worn by Hip Hop rapstars and with fashionable street gear, past and present. But, in the context of crafting, they can be chic, playful and very cute.

Just check out this fun tutorial from french Marie Claire Idees

Tres jolie, eh!

I made these for a friend of my daughter for her birthday. I hope she likes!

Oh, how I love this project! Quite easy and super quick to make! Forty-five minutes ( maybe a shorter time for a Super Woman) and voila! You're done!
