The Doilies’ Comeback

March 27th, 2010

These appeared on Apartment Therapy back in January, and I’m still coming up with variations of this idea.  It makes me want to start collecting thrift store doilies.  I’ve been thinking of a drum light shade in dark blue to go with my orange walls.

Dreaming in Red

March 26th, 2010

If I were to ever walk on the red carpet, I would have this dress made for me.  Of course, it would need a lining of some sort.  Forget the red carpet.  If I were a seamstress or could afford to pay a seamstress, I’d have it made now.  A tea length version would be made for more casual wear.

This was made for the Chinese Paper-cutting Art Exposition in Wenzhou City, September 2004. I do not know the artist.
