September 2010 Quilt, about 1900 Our ideas about modernism focus on simple geometric shapes. Quilt, about 1950 During the early 20th century, German artists organized the Bauhaus, an art school based on strict principles of design, a reaction to the Craftsman movement and Art Nouveau with their reverence for the natural line and the handmade object. Bauhaus principles emphasized that form must follow function.
// Between the lines // I'm maybe not very original with this project. You can find tutorials for this kind of (snack) bags everywhere on the net. Derived from the paper brown bag, they're very simple to make. When using old pants, however, they're even simpler to make, is what I thought. I used an old pair of jeans, which were ripped at the knees, and let's face it, which also got a little too tight around the waist...

The Fast Forward Clutch / VHS Video Clutch For this project you’ll need to take a trip to a hardware store and your mom’s attic. I actually made this DIY specially for Nastygal.com, they came up with the idea to name it 'the fast forward clutch', it was just too good not to share here too! Materials: • Two VHS video cases (I used frosted ones, one bigger than the other) • A pair of tiny bolts and nuts • Drill • Copper parts used to attach pipes to a wall • A strap from one of your other bags Step One: Start off by ripping the plastic from the video cases.
Phillip Lim 31 Minute Bag bag: 31 minute bag, 3.1 Phillip Lim Was it too simple, too easy, too clean? Doubts that kept me from investing in this Phillip Lim clutch that I fell in love with months ago. Still, every morning when picking what to wear I felt I was missing this bag. My favorite bag up until now has been a black vintage clutch with no additives, no clasps, no color, no closure, it is just a black rectangle. But this one has left me down as it is too flat and is unable to carry all the daily necessities.
Sequin Clutch - Part 1 Fashion’s Night Out comes but once a year, and it seemed fitting that I should only be seen while carrying something completely covered in sequins. Come on – this isn’t just shopping, this is shopping with DJs. Silliness aside, this really is a classic evening out bag that I’ve made by borrowing some ideas about assembly from working with fur.
STORAGE BOX March 13, 2013 Today I have a storage box diy for you. As always the measurements are in cm. (If you wonder why the numbers are so “awkward”, it´s because I used an a4 paper and wanted the box to be as big as it possibly could.) First draw the figure on the paper.
