-Amazing exhibit of 16th to 19th century prints I saw last week.
-16th century herbals.
-My columbine slip progress and the things I’ve learned in the process so far.
I need to put together a handout for A&S this weekend. I’m not trying to finish the Italian Ren by then, because I decided I’d rather work on something I enjoy right now (the slip) than something I don’t (sewing). Afterwards I’ll try to put together some shoes and a simple Anglo-Saxon for Estrella, probably. I hope to have the slip done by the end of the month. Then I still need to decide what to do for the other three and pick out some insects for filler (butterfly, caterpillar, dragonfly, bee, probably).
I found 4 yards of an amazing red/gold shot silk dupioni (45″ wide) on the remnants table at Joann’s today for only $5/yard. I have no idea what I’ll do with it–it’s really lightweight, so probably an interlining to show through slashes–but it’s gorgeous, and how often does one find $5/yard shot silk dupioni in fabulous colors?
