Dress #352 Year of the Snake

Strolling on Boulevard St. Germain a couple of weeks ago, a beautiful top caught my eye. The most marvelous drape and a yellow/gray snakeskin print. I was shocked to discover that the top is real (!) python skin, and retails for 3400 Euros! Eeek! This is an interpretation of the snakeskin theme---ricrak top, and silver snakeskin print over a silk stripe like a coral snake. And of course, a snake-eyes pin.

Dress #294 Tailored Brocade

Silver and gray brocade ribbon make this a dressy, and tailored, dress. Ribbon and cotton.

Dress #268 Orionid

Last night was the peak of the Orionid meteor shower, and although I'm in too much of an urban setting to see them myself, the glories of technology allowed me to share. This photo and the time-lapse video were stunning and inspired this dress. Fabric, trim, a bead, and another snippet of Blue Heron yarn.
