The Dragon

verysweetlife January 29, 2009

Isaac drew a dragon.
I used the picture as a template for a stuffed animal. Kept to the lines of the drawing. Double stitched the seams for durability. Hopefully the dragon will be handled a lot! Embroidery was perfect for the eyes and mouth, mimicking the dragon's expression in the picture.

(Dragon: 21" length, horn to tail x 15" height)

Been Way Too Long!

When projects become intricate I must break down the steps, otherwise the time slips by. Two months since the previous post, oh my.

In December a leather bag was made, pieced together from three disco-lovely metallic leathers. The bag has a back sleeve into which a large belt (a second project which has yet to be photographed) can be inserted and secured around the waist...ta-dah. There are plenty of rugged lumbar packs, but none to wear with heels! The design of this bag is vaguely based upon an obi.

Slow Style

Slow Style is an ongoing project by Sarah Kate Beaumont who since 2008 has designed and crafted every piece of her wardrobe. She has not purchased clothing since the project began.

Combining art and craftsmanship Beaumont’s project embraces individual style and sustainability. It seeks to empower others to question assumptions of consumerism with its inherent cycle of acquisition and disposal, and as an alternative, to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.

Slow Style

Verysweetlife seeks to empower her audience to embrace authentic, individual style free from fast-fashion and consumerism, and to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.

Since 2008 the artist Sarah Kate Beaumont has made what she wears, designing and assembling each piece. These are slow clothes, combining craftsmanship and art.
