Something different by Lizette Greco

Something different

I've been wanting to try a little something different. I've collected several wool skirts through the years in order to cut them up for our projects. However, some of them are in such good condition I wondered if I could give them a second life as clothing before they turn into a soft sculpture (we are still working on those by the way). I'll be posting a few Found and Embellished Wool Skirts in the following days. If you are interested, please read the measurements before you contact us for information. Here's the first one. You can see the full skirt here.

Hollywool Hills
found and embellished
A-line skirt
71% polyester
23% wool
6% other fibers
100% polyester lining
waist 18"
hips 25"
length 24"

gently used

DVD Bot by Lizette Greco

DVD Bot

It's been a whiile since we've made a robot. Having a series of drawings of dvd robots was our inspiration this time. In addition, Enzo made a flat screen TV a few weeks back. The reception was not good so it was put aside. We are hoping to get the comics channel sometime since that's what he's been drawing lately.

DVD Bot
recycled wool and
fabric scraps
recycled polyfil

Salvaged (cereal box) cardboard TV and remote.

Halloween 2009 by Lizette Greco

Halloween 2009

Sophia is very fond of James Patterson's young adult series Maximum Ride. The main characters in the book (the flock) are "regular" children with genetically altered bird DNA and we thought that making a pair of wings would make a great costume for this Max fan. In order to achieve the visual effect of real wings we decided to make individual feathers and sew them one by one to a quilted basic shape of the wing. There were more than 300 handmade feathers. Sophia only wore her regular street clothes but carried a pair of white wings on her back. Instead of a lengthy explanation, she just nodded when people assumed that she was an angel. I guess that saying "no, I'm a girl with wings from a book" or "a James Patterson character", or a "mutant" as they call themselves in the book might be confusing for most grown ups on Halloween night.

*Correction: There were actually more than 500 handmade feathers. I just looked at my notes (November 21, 2009)
