I went to a talk by Kelly Doust at Surry Hills library today about upcycling vintage fashion. The most inspiring thing I learnt was that Kelly has published 3 books and makes beautiful pieces from vintage rags and she is completely self taught. No degree in fashion or formal seamstress skills, just a passion for fashion and a ruthless determination to see the best in the shabbiest of items that others have discarded.
It inspired me to have a think about items in my own wardrobe that could be given some extra love.
While I was waiting to go into the talk I noticed this pattern in the wooden doors at the library. Wood from an evil spirited tree perhaps?
Spooky! Is that blood coming out from the corner of its mouth, from its last victim?
