boy pants?

2008-04-20T16:01:00.000-07:00

I make lots of girls clothes.

I happen to have 2 perfect models (although they are becoming increasingly less interested in trying stuff on for size)

However I get lots of requests for boys stuff, and I know from other bloggers that this is a universal thing. Apparently a great lack of, well funky lovely boy clothes.

I do make pants for boys, but more for youngens that pretty much wear what you want them to and actually like big colourfull prints.

so my question to myself and cyber space is would a boy over the age of say 7 wear pants like these

throw away fabirc

When I do get around to covering some very lovely new chairs,

I will be looking hard at modern fabrics.
Upholstery remnants, I can't beleive this stuff gets thrown out!!

and I love this little zoo series....

A Thousand Splendid Suns

2008-02-14T14:49:00.000-08:00

New pink lunch boxes are splendid!

............SPLENDID!...........

Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eye

Through the bazaars, caravans of Egypt pass

One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs

And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls

excerpt from Kabul

if the earth

2008-02-04T19:02:00.000-08:00

If the Earth

were only a few feet in diameter,

floating a few feet above a field somewhere,

people would come from everywhere to marvel

at it. People would walk around it marveling at its

big pools of water, its little pools and the water flowing

between. People would marvel at the bumps on it and the

holes in it. They would marvel at the very thin layer of gas

surrounding it and the water suspended in the gas. The people

would marvel at all the creatures walking around the surface of

the ball and at the creatures in the water. The people would

declare it as sacred because it was the only one, and they would

protect it so that it would not be hurt. The ball would be the

greatest wonder know, and people would come to pray to

it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty and

to wonder how it could be. People would love it, and

defend it with their lives because they would

somehow know that their lives could be

nothing without it. If the Earth were

only a few feet in

diameter.

These are 3 of the 12 dolls I made before christmas. They were commisioned and made in the likeness of some friends and family.

this little dress

2008-01-13T14:10:00.000-08:00

this dress, i saw it.

I saw it on a georgeous little girl in Hyde Park Sydney, yes 500km away from purchase place, well i was a little bit excited, it looked so cute she had it on with little orange tights and she was dancing around. If the mum ever reads this i hope it dosnt sound creepy that i was watching your child, but it took me a few minutes to compute that yes i do make stuff and it does sell and it does look really cute and other people do like it too.

heart palpatations

2007-06-21T02:30:00.000-07:00

Yes this is giving me heart palpitations I am stunned by this woman's work, any one who creates stuff like this, which is so completely ridiculous, and, and well beautiful, in my mind, I am totally in awe of.

I would love to feel free enough to go there, to think this stuff up and to actually do it.

Hats off Nina Katchadourian
