More Glamour from Lise

This beautiful, elegantly-dressed lady hails from...  hmmmmmmmm maybe Kurdistan?  (I'd better check!)

And this beautiful, elegantly-dressed lady hails from Southern California:

They're both on display at Lise Solvang's glorious blog, A Hand Knit Life.

Lise now has so much beauty on her site that it takes a minute or two to load, but it's worth the wait.  She also has some inspiring stories of how Knitting is helping people around the world.

Don't miss it!

More Glamour

Our good friend Lise Solvang has released more pictures of her wonderful, crocheted fashion-garments. Originally from Norway, Lise creates these dresses from her knowledge of ancient Scandinavian folk-tales, and imbues them with a mystery and romance that's not often seen in sunny SoCal....

And Lise's career is on a roll:  a Norwegian publisher has commissioned a coffee-table book of the glamorous designs, and they are also on display, with many other beautiful works by local artists, at an exhibition of "Fiber Art Masterpieces" at the Ojai Valley Museum.

Lise likes to make her mark on the local environment, too - with a unique sort of decorative, Performance-Art event, which she calls Yarn-Bombing.  Here's one of the milder examples:

You can "read all about it", with many more Glamour pics, at Lise's Blog,

Glamour

I decided to revert to the British spelling of Glamour – it looks better!

This charming picture comes from a sweet Blog run by our new friend in the cool (60s!) town of Jerome, Arizona. Julie runs a wonderful store specializing in Kaleidoscopes. Not the toys you remember from back... then, although they have some of those, but glorious futuristic machinesthat make amazing images from something, anything, and nothing. Endless, beautiful entertainment and no cable fees!

Julie describes her Blog as “sort of a diary of my natural dyeing endeavors” - it's lovely, friendly, and you home creatives will eat it up!

Much more - glamorous and otherwise - soon....
