Textile Orgasm...
Sep. 11th, 2008 06:21 amItinerary:( textile-ing and shoe shopping across the continent )
Edit:
PS. I'm on hiatus from new projects for me. I have 2 outfits (my fruit seller and my ropa outfit) and one gamurra, so in my mind there's plenty of need. I have emptied the wardrobe of stuff that doesn't fit, so there's plenty of space for new things. I have fabric, so there's resources. I have plenty of books and inspiration. I just know I'll come home from the Conference with new ideas on cut and construction. It would be mad to start something new knowing myself as I do. Instead, I'm pulling out my wools and silk brocades and preemptively moving them to my workshop. I'm prewashing my linen linings. I'm getting wooden beads and thread. The shears are being sharpened, the pins are being sorted into their correct boxes(*). I'm carefully staging stuff in anticipation of returning from my trip.
(*) yes, I sort my pins. I mentioned I'm OCD
