A friend of a friend, he does a lot of printmaking, specifically of show posters for friends of mine, which will be featured in my final project. There's some neat stuff in here, for sure!

a project of my own

This is the stole I've been working on for my mother's ordination, coming up May 1st! It is ok... I started the pattern completely from scratch, and I've realized that I've hit a wall in terms of what sewing I can just pick up without really learning. The draping is a little skewed (when worn normally, the ends tend to come in together around her knees when they should fall straight-looking), but since her robe (which she'll wear at the ordination) has shoulder pads, I'm hopeful that that'll solve the problem, at least a little. And maybe someday I'll actually start taking sewing classes, and I'll learn how to drape for real.

Part of me wants to just start the whole thing over because of the draping issue, but I know that I don't yet have the tools (physical & mental) to really make an improvement on it without simply tracing the pattern of one of her other, more professional stoles, and I just don't have the time right now to get it started again completely from scratch. It would probably just end up on the sidelines for a long time unless I REALLY pushed at it... but again, I can't learn the skill that quickly. So, impasse. C'est la vie.
