Some cool fabrics!
Well, there hasn’t been much exciting for me to talk about the last few days. I’ve just been doing more work around the house and getting eaten by mosquitoes. But...
One of my needlework friends is getting his own fabric line! :-D The fabrics are supposed to be inspired by henna painting (mendhi) and some were designed especially to be embellished with beading, embroidery, etc. You can see a preview of the fabric designs on his website, http://www.marklipinski.com/ (click on the “my fabric” link at the top) I think some of the focus fabrics would be fun for a skirt and I might have to track some down after they come out. Don’t know if they’d actually be accurate for a cosplay but all of the colorful patterns make me think of Gankutsuou!
I think this is pretty cool since I’ve known Mark for like 10 years; we’re both in a small cross stitch e-mail group that’s like extended family (I’m the baby of the group since I was a weirdo in high school and liked to cross stitch instead of doing typical teenager things. XD;).
Back then he was working as a TV producer. Now, he teaches quilting, has his own quilting magazine (Mark Lipinski’s Quilter’s Home, published by McCall’s), and the fabric is supposed to be available soon. I think it’s great where he’s been able to go with his needlecrafts. :-)
