Thanks so much, Perry. At night the some of the colors in the art recede and it really looks like you can see the rocks clearer and misty white colors emerge. If you step away from your computer monitor, you can see it in a 3-D effect. Thanks agai...

Diana, I am Brazilian and I only speak Portuguese and Spanish. I go to use the translation of Babel Fish and, since already I ask for excuses for the horrible translation that it makes. With my commentary it wanted to say that I liked it very its work. He is very pretty!

Hi, Diana. I published an article about bark cloth on 13 August at www.fiberfocus.blogspot.com.

Hi again Diana, I found your gallery and remember seeing these great pieces before. I really like your use of unusual colors as part of your value scale. That is the part of photomosaic that I find most visually exciting. I still have problems finding my way around this site, but thanks for asking to be my friend. Keep in touch. Carol

I am pleased to announce that Quilters Save our Stories (The Library of Congress) has just released an online book and I am on the cover with one of my Obama quilt! I was interviewed several months ago and my story is documented to save ...forever. Look! http://www.allianceforamericanquilts.org/

Hello Diana, I do quilt for others and have helped several quilt artists finish their pieces. You can see some of the pieces I have worked on in my gallery at www.rebeccasegura.com. I do not have all the works online, but I was able to get a good sampling up.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Hi Diana! Thank you for the so very nice comment on my quilting. I love to create texture with my quilting. Your mosaic quilts are just amazing to me! The colors and depth you achieve is fantastic! Congratulations on having your mosaic of Obama showcased in DC... it is a marvelous piece... it is easy to see that your heart and soul went into it.

Your work is awesome! I was experiencing your quilts as very large in my imagination...like 6 feet, 8 feet expanses (something I do often with work that I love), so when I saw the photo of you standing with a collection of your pieces I was surprised to discover the size.

Oh, Diana- you are giving me way too much credit for whatever growth you are experiencing. You have the drive and have knocked on the right doors, which then opened up to you. It's been fun to watch your progress. I can totally relate to being overwhelmed and chaotic- I'm behind on everything and tired all the time, but trying to stay healthy. I keep thinking if I break things down into manageable tasks, I'll see progress. But, there are still piles of things screaming for attention. Eeeek!

The RSS is correct, but I would pick the option to show a full article because then people would see the photos you are talking about, too. Keep it to a smaller page, though, 3 or 4 articles or your page will get really long.

You know that you can change your page template, don't you? At the top left corner, under your image, you will see several options. Click on the template one and you can pick whatever you want and even load a different background image.

Well, off to that pile of tasks!

Past Patterns


#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.

Fashion-Era, A Costume Resource


Fashion-era contains 715 content rich, illustrated pages of Fashion History, Costume History, Clothing, Fashions and Social History. Sitemap



"At Fashion-Era.com we analyse two centuries of women's costume history and fashion history silhouettes in detail. Regency, Romantic, Victorian, Edwardian, Flapper, 1940's Utility Rationing, Dior's New Look, 1960's Mini dress, 1970's Disco, 1980's New Romantics, Power Dressing, Haute Couture, Royal Robes, Fashion Semiotics, and Body Adornment, each retro fashion era, and future fashion trends are all defined.

We've also outlined the history of Jewelery, Perfumes, Cosmetics, Corsetry and Underwear manipulation of the body silhouette. Fashion history is a rich area to explore. The effects of past and present technology, changes in work, leisure, media and homelife that affect lifestyle trends, attitudes, fashion trends and shopping trendsetters are all covered in the various eras.

Newer sections such as hats, hair, cloaks and capes, ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman fashion history continue to explore and make this a great web fashion history and costume history resource. Some sections also include consumer tests for example on clip in hair extensions plus tips on how to buy and sell vintage, pattern drafting and Christmas themes. There is also a Fashion Forum over 4 years old called Fashion-era Forum. There you can discuss anything from current fashion trends, old photographs, vintage to costume history or from Greeks to the 21st century."

Egyptyian Dress Costume Collars

Ancient Costume - Egyptian Dress Costume Plates

Part 5 - Ornamental Patterns and Egyptian Collars

"

Styles of Egyptian robe with free pattern guides were discussed on the detailed pages of Egyptian Costumes. However, decorative elements were mostly confined to the removable collars on garments and other removable accessories such as headwear, girdles (striking wrap sash belts) and deep arm cuffs. But if you need a wearable costume you have to have basic body covering too, so check out my other Egyptian pages.

To complete your Egyptian costume add a collar, typical jewellery and eye make up. To be fair there are plenty of King Tut collars available at fancy dress party costume outlets online. But part of the fun of going to an Egyptian fancy dress event is making your own Egyptian inspired costume and most importantly achieving something that fits you proportion wise rather than being made as one size fits all."
