A Way With Words

Cocktail Umbrellas

I don't wanna reveal my actual umbrella yet as none of the pink netting has been sewn on yet! (I'm making a ballet/dance inspired umbrella FYI) But I finished attaching the base layer of netting which I'm tres proud of :D yipeee


but heres a few mini mock ups i did on a cocktail umbrella! So cute :) obviously not 100% accurate but there you go its fiddly stuff....

made with a cocktail umbrella, netting, split pins and white paint :) 

For some reason they won't rotate the right way up so Sozza :)

Working at home..

Hellooo, I havent blogged on here in a while.. although I have been blogging on my own ..  but basically just wanted to show you what I've been up to at home :)
I decided not to create an umbrella as such.. but make it more into a garment.. and this is what I chose to do.. aswell as taking inspiration from Viktor and Rolf, dutch designers, who work together to create beautiful couture garments such as these..

Viktor and Rolf's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. I really love the cut out's, although Gayle assures me that these parts are not cut out, and that the delicate material is acurately sewn into place to create these wonderful spaces.

And here is my inspired umbrella-dress.. not quite as magnificent.. I knoww....

This is VERY un-finished.. just to show my progress and where my ideas have come from :) Every part of the dress is made out of umbrella, apart from the stuffing and the stitching :)

Just found a useful website...

I have just found this website it is similar to dafont.com but it has more unusual font like this umbrella font.....

you could use this gayle:

you can just type in anything and it will bring up loads of suggestions and it lets you preview the font you want and then copy and paste it :D
