I don’t remember the begining of December being particularly hectic but something must have distracted us; Tom has just noticed,we didn’t post anything about the two assemblage art dresses I made from vintage lace, the lace which one of my art students gave to me last November (remember this post – http://www.messiejessieblog.co.uk/lace-assemblage/ ).  

 Both dresses have been listed on Etsy, one has sold (I may get to introduce you to the buyer soon, if Tom gets himself sorted) but the other remains available.

So, as usual, here are some photos of the dresses, including the photos which didn’t make it onto the Etsy pages.

Lace

I have a project in mind for next year for my little dresses but, for now I’m going to say no more.  However, it could possibly involve the use of lace.  So, I was made up when a member of the art group I tutor brought in a collection of old lace.  As you can see from the photos she has quite a collection.

I absolutely adored the lace.  The lady who owns the lace has said I might have a few pieces for my assemblage dresses;  I hope she doesn’t forget, though which I’d like to have I’m not sure.
