I went to my local Borders during lunch and looked at this book. I also checked out her website. Erica DOES have some great ideas, but I agree with AJ and bj1111 about the look of some of her creations. I definitely felt a creative vibe when I perused the book. I'm a fledgling jewelry artisan and have been deconstructing and creating my own clothes/accessories since I was a teen. That said, both Erica's book and website are worth a look for inspiration. Go forth and create! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-for-the-creative-yfl-girls#post-206674 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:28:33 +0000 bj1111 206674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, cookie!</p> <p>aj, i've visited her site and suspected, same as you, that i wouldn't wear any of the diys because they would look cheap. lovemaegan has some craftilicious hacks that i would love to try irl.</p> <p>annagybe posted an <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-pearl-diy-mainly-for-maya">interpretation of a lanvin pearl necklace</a> yesterday for maya. would totally try this once i get a string of cheap faux pearls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-for-the-creative-yfl-girls#post-206645 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:11:43 +0000 AJ 206645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She also has a website:<br /> <a href="http://psimadethis.com/" rel="nofollow">http://psimadethis.com/</a></p> <p>She's very creative and her creations photograph well, but I wonder if they seem a bit cheap in person. For example, she made a statement necklace using cut colored straws and I would think that would look not so fab up close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-for-the-creative-yfl-girls#post-206640 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:01:18 +0000 Lynne 206640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this sounds interesting...I will ask my bookstore about it! Thanks for the recommendation </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-for-the-creative-yfl-girls#post-206626 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:42:37 +0000 Cookie 206626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a new book out called "P.S. I Made This" by Erica Domesek. It costs under $20 and she creates D.I.Y. looks based on runway fashions. I thought of the cute pieces I have seen some of you post and wanted to give you a heads up. I have no talents in this area so I can not judge her efforts but experts have raved. </p>
