Anthropology invite

 Working on my proposal for Anthropology Stores. Spending the entire day on photo cropping and pasting, labeling, calculating, making new files, copying to new files, running to Staples to buy more ink......and pricing.

I see the makings of a job position here. Growing from the ground up is a process which sometimes requires jumping over the edge without any time for thought. Things can change quickly with 1 order. Suddenly I'm no longer designing & creating, but, writing emails, proposals, answering requests for a brochure, responding to comments left by admirers, pricing new items, logging time & materials, and the list goes on.

My heart lies in the designing & creating.

Victorian tattered Camisole Vest

Sweet tattered laces and vintage fabrics make up this "fabric" created for the camisole vest from Mano Bello. Now at ridiculously low sale price.

This was inspired by my aging mother, who taught me how to sew & helped me choose fabrics for my school wardrobe over the years. She has now passed and I'm still sewing. I thought of her all the while stitching these pieces of hand picked fabrics and trims, ribbons and lace.  Many, many hours of labor later......
