As you know gentle reader,
I have this
major crush on black and gold..
and so this year I decided to create a
holiday collection that emphasized that
color scheme..
and paired them with
antique botanical prints..
I also hand dyed a large piece of cloth and stitched it
so that I could cut it up and use it in the backgrounds...
You can see it quite clearly in the background of this piece,

Send a Message of Love
There is something so enchanting..
isn't there?
about
repurposing old book covers..
and antique papers..
and it adds a sense of romance
to stitch
tattered wedding veils..
and discarded petticoat lace..
to elevate not only the mundane,
but the discarded..
forlorn and forgotten..
resurrection
is
beautiful
I will be putting the finishing touches on these
and then wrapping them up
to ship
to 142 Bis Gallerie..
Because..
yes,
my dears,
the holiday season is upon us..
See you Friday
for our 50th Vlog post..
and I will give you the answers to the
5 Top Questions
that everyone asks me on
YouTube..
Ciao, ciao!
