Affordable art!
I found this post on Design Sponge's Guest Blog, and just about died! I instantly fell in love with the Leafy Mystery series, and I'm scheming to work #'s 2, 5, 6, 8, 14 and 15 into our home decor enough to justify getting them all!!! Insert wickedly evil laugh here!!! Mwahahaha! At only 20$ a piece, they're not so expensive's it's impossible!!! Seriously, you have to check out Christopher David Ryan's site - My Little Underground - the work is wonderful, and totally affordable!

Crafty Ginger Opens Shop!
Here's a link to the store; I'd love to hear comments/suggestions, I really want to make my products the best they can be! If anyone's interested, I have a previous post on how I make my tsumami kanzashi flowers & how I came to find the techniques - here. Sorry this is so short, I had no idea all the tiny little details that needed tending to with a new store!

::La Femme Fedora::



Ahhh, the fedora. One of my most favorite hat shapes of all time. This came about after noticing Peta Wilson wear one on La Femme Nikita, a tv show based on the film by Luc Besson. LFN was so beautifully costumed, and the sets and props were so captivating. The music was unbelievably amazing, and it's how I found Coldplay (among many other amazing artists/bands *see below for a few!) years before they got big! Anyhoo, Nikita's first fetish in the show was sunglasses. Her second was hats, and she had some awesome ones. Her oversized black fedora is my favorite, but she had wider brims & smaller ones all the way down to a tactical ski mask!


Oh - and it fits perfectly! Thanks again Whiplash for the much needed sewing gusto! Now I have no fear of curves, or tricky fabrics, or something new! It feels so good, I wish words could really express it! (I'm not so great with them, so I'll just say another Thanks! to everyone participating in Whiplash from month to month. You ladies (guys?) totally rock my world!)
There are so many great entries already! Good luck to everyone, and thanks again for the inspiration!
*Music from La Femme Nikita - The Philosopher Kings, Artour De Lucie, Beth Orton, Massive Attack and Diana Krall were just a few of the artists/bands I listened to while crafting my entry!
