Crafts & things to make « I’m interrupting the Handmade Holiday Gift Guides to tell you that the new issue of Classic Play! Is out, and I am so honored to be a guest contributor. Classic Play! Is a wonderful online magazine filled with essays, crafts, gift guides and fun ideas for parents. I highly recommend it. The theme for this issue is Science, and I created a Monarch butterfly chrysalis craft, inspired by Not Martha’s tiny pinatas and an experience I had with Monarchs at work last year: The Foundation that I work for gives money to a group called the Monarch Teacher Network, which is a network of teachers who use the incredible migration of the Monarch butterfly as a robust teaching tool in their classrooms (environmental lessons, math lessons, art lessons, etc). It starts off as light green with tiny gold dots on it, and as the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, the chrysalis gets increasingly translucent so that you can actually see the black and orange wings: Like this: Like Loading...

Aesthetic Bent. Fabric of folly: December 2010. I used to blog quite a bit about music discovery apps but then Spotify came along, I moved from the BBC's Audio & Music Interactive department (to its television equivalent) and general app fatigue set in... Then, a couple of week's ago, online streaming service thesixtyone released its Aweditorium iPad app and I was shaken out of my music discovery lethargy by an app of such elegance and utility that it's become almost a constant companion, introducing another ambient screen into my life (but hopefully not forcing me to buy another iPad... ;) Like many of the best interfaces, none of its paradigms are particularly new or revolutionary - it just assembles existing paradigms with such grace that it feels fresh and delightful, displaying a number of those small but significant interface touches that I've banged on about in the past.

Once fully loaded, the artist thumbnail in the centre of the screen glows seductively with a one word invitation to 'Tap'. ShareThis. Body Art - Hand Animals | Optical Illusions.

Lies and Fairy Tales: Victoria's Secret. Victoria's Secret is an American retailer of women's wear, lingerie and beauty products.[2] It is the largest brand and a segment of publicly traded Limited Brands with sales surpassing USD$5 billion and an operating income of $1 billion in 2006.[2] Victoria's Secret is known for its fashion shows and catalogues, which feature top fashion models.

History Victoria's Secret was started in San Francisco, California, in 1977 by Stanford Graduate School of Business alumnus Roy Raymond,[3] who felt embarrassed trying to purchase lingerie for his wife in a public and awkward department store environment. He opened the first store at Stanford Shopping Center, and quickly followed it with a mail order catalog and 3 other stores.[3] The stores were meant to create a comfortable environment for men, with wood-paneled walls, Victorian details and helpful sales staff.

Instead of racks of bras and panties in every size, there were single styles, paired together and mounted on the wall in frames. Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true... '50's fashion... I thought you might enjoy seeing some of these vintage fashion photos as much as I did. Most of the photos were taken in the 1950's, and so many of the styles could easily be worn today. Some might need a little updating here or there, but the majority of them are still just as feminine, lovely, and classic as they were back then. I had so much fun browsing through them! A photo of model Suzy Parker--I love her hair!

Aren't her pearls and long gloves lovely? How glamorous can you get? The epitome of the classic '50's "girl-next-door" beauty. Her perky, short hair and coat are just fabulous! Isn't this lovely woman the picture of Parisian high fashion? Paris...an umbrella...lovely high-heeled shoes...what could be better? Isn't this exquisite? All dressed up... I love the detailing on her blouse, the fullness of her skirt, and that cute hat perched atop her head... Inspirifunk. Fashion Models: Doutzen Kroes is a Dutch model.

If you’ve wandered the rooms of the (blog)house you may have noticed that one room seems, well, a little empty, be that my Artist Studio (apologies for the funny language, I’m currently reading Robinson Crusoe be that written by such one Daniel Defoe who writes in the tongue of the 17th century man, viz. almost unreadable English).

So although the Artist Studio has been a little vacant, it is only because I have been busy writing and planning my next art project and I am very pleased to reveal that it will be collective and it involves ALL OF YOU. So now, I invite you to come for a little wander with me as I pour my heart out and tell all… Image by Clarence S.

Handmade HyperlinksGerman designer Maria Fischer has created a book Traumgedanken (Thoughts on dreams) about dream theory in which coloured threads connect excerpts of the text, like real world hyperlinks.

On her website, Fischer explains that these threads express 'the confusion and fragileness of dreams'. Via Engadget and Maria FischerI think this beautifully demonstrates the interconnectedness of information online in comparison to the more linear format of print.

Friday Flowers: Hair Barrette Necklaces. Why should little girls have all the fun? Big girls can wear hair flair too! No pigtails required :) Last time I went scouring for art supplies at the beauty supply store I unearthed these wonderful plastic flower hair barrettes for a buck a box! Cute huh? Just clip them on an oversize chain necklace and add a few accent beads. And the fun goes way beyond flowers. In their usual place, hair bows make everyone's head look happy. To make one of these ribbon chain necklaces, you will want: A bunch of hair barrettes (I used 15, choose your length as you wish)A bunch of 2” ribbon pieces tied into knots I like pairing the bright shiny plastic with some dull, vintage bias tape, but that's just me.

Instructions Good thing these pictures can do the talking. The essential concept is this: the ribbon knot goes through the hole of one barrette back piece AND THEN slips over the hole of another barrette back piece. Hope that makes sense :) You just have to try it and see how easy it is. Gardener's Roost. Fabulously Artsy. {behind the pages.} Tessa Ann.
