Hi Grizzlies! (such a wonderful name!) I think I goofed when I replied to your lovely msg.! I shd've put it here, not under the photo of my card, "Hermione" (the cat)! Good grief! All really wanted to say was thank you for your kind comment! And, to let you know that I have this beautifully carved, fish-shaped needle-case that I discovered in a tiny, wee shop up in Whitehorse, Yukon. I shall try to take a good photo of it for you. I think you'd love it! It looks just like some wooooooondrous work that you would make! Cheers! Charlotte

Your photos look great! You know you can get the Fiber Focus slide show badge and have it only show your photos. Nice little marketing tool. It's one of the options under Fiber Focus Badge, there in the upper right column.

Well, it's still pretty new, but growing every day. Feel free to invite any friends you think would enjoy being in a place like this. I see you changed your icon- boo, hoo! I miss that old curmudgeon! But, it wasn't enough pixels for this size, right?

So, do we call you Mr and Mrs Grizzly? I read the about us section on your web and both of you are so talented with lots to tell! I look forward to getting to know you better.

Welcome! I've always enjoyed reading your posts in Etsy's forum (although I haven't been active there much lately) and am very happy to have you here! I just took a look at your blog- very attractive and nicely done! I added it to my full list of fiber bloggers on my Fiber Focus blog (http://fiberfocus.blogspot.com/) I don't know if you have seen the blog yet, but I often have guest artists there and would love it if you wrote an article about the supplies you make. They are beautiful! Well, then you could write another article later about the fiber products you make and the community of artists around you.

Also, you should load a bunch of photos of your supplies and work here- members are going to drool over them! There are lots of things you can do here to personalize your page- add photos, change your page template to reflect who you are, add music, videos- whatever you think would interest the group. There is an international agenda here, a hope to build bridges between cultures through fiber art. Make yourself at home! Build connections with other members by leaving comments on their pages or their photos and you can use the forum, too. There is also a blog on your page and the latest entry is shown on the front page, so you can use that to promote your business and share information to the group at large.

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.

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


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."
