I've been in Indiana for nearly a year now and I'm feeling ready to explore. I happened upon a great blog, littleindiana.com which highlights things to do, see, buy and eat in small towns all over the state so I've been thinking about starting to use it as my exploring guidebook...and then came this post: Raders Fabrics in Danville, Indiana.
What a gold mine!

Wax Portrait! Pretty, pretty, pretty
I found the most interesting object while browsing the collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art today
Portrait of a Woman in Venetian Dress, possibly Bianca Capello
Possibly made in Italy, Europe
Late 16th to early 17th century

I love the wonderful luminosity of the wax.

The Gold is Down
And now I'm working on joining the sets of loops to make my trim pattern. Maybe there's hope I'll finish after all!
On to Sleeve Two
I've turned and hand stitched the edges of the second sleeve and the attachment of enormous quantities of gold braid has commenced.
I still have fantasies of finishing this silly loose gown this weekend...

Sunday, June 10, 2012
Fear Not! I am still working!
Real life has intruded quite a bit lately but I'm taking just a moment to show you my progress on my IRCC loose gown's hanging sleeve.
And, if anyone is interested in 1880's clothing I now have boards for my inspiration for Teslacon outfits on Pinterest.
