Crocheted purse 2
| |
|
|
|
Made from some industrial ribbon stuff (I think it's for lingerie manufacture--it's soft and has that lingerie color) I found at Trash for Teaching in Gardena--I bought out all the packets they had! Trim yarn was a friend's leftover Cotton Ease, and the button is from my great-aunt's stash, so it's vintage.
The lining is fabric from Trash for Teaching, a super-soft cotton I picked up a few months ago.

Reedley isn't a large city, but this memorial features cenotaphs for ten prominent Korean men (no women) who lived in the area or had some other connection there, including Syngman Rhee and Dosan Ahn Chang Ho.

near Palmdale CA. If they look familiar, they've been used as a location for many, many movies for the past century. This particular spot is sometimes called "Kirk's Rock" because it's featured prominently in a Star Trek episode ("Arena").

OOTD: Bedsheet Dress

I made this dress from a thrifted bedsheet, and wore it to a spring brunch today. No pattern--front and back are identical, I made up something for the sleeves. The lace at the neckline is from my grandmother's stash of notions.
Rainstorm Costume 2: Cloud Headpiece 5/13

I'm crocheting a rainstorm costume for Halloween. This is the second photo, from May 2013, showing how the headpiece has gathered more clouds...
I don't think I can keep using the webcam for these photos! Like my tree costume last year, it's getting too big to photograph at arm's length.
