New Book For The Creative YLF Girls

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.

She also has a website:
http://psimadethis.com/

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.

thanks, cookie!

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.

annagybe posted an interpretation of a lanvin pearl necklace yesterday for maya. would totally try this once i get a string of cheap faux pearls.

Hi Cookie. 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!
