Here some things I'm really feeling right now, that are influencing what textiles and pieces I source, what I want to make, and what I want to dress like. The central theme to all of this, is texture.
I'm really into panne velvet, I have a few pieces, and I'm always looking for more, especially the really old stuff.
These 1920's wrap things would be awesome as coats, over jeans.
The texture is really lush, and fancy, but it could look very rock and roll too...
This piece is cool, because of the lace. Its super old, but has a cool, timeless vibe.
Another thing right now I'm really into, is woven leather...
This bag is freakin' awesome. Woven leather can look super bohemian, European, classic, and kind of Americana, all at once.
On shoes, it seems super confortable, because it really allows the feet to breathe.
I have always been, and always will be: really into Edwardian (Pre WWI) lace. I'm not knocking Victorian, or 1920's either, its all rad!
That super feminine vibe would look great mixed with either vintage army, or work wear....
Images were taken from ebay, and google. All these items are old as hell, older than me for sure...that makes them cooler than me too.

This on is made from an antique door hinge....maybe its from a box though or something, I have no idea. When I saw it, it was about to be thrown away. I rescued it, and made it into one of my favorite pieces. The black and gold together is really cool, and the quartz keeps it from being too antique-y.
I like working with these old snuff bottles a lot. They have a rakish traveler vibe to them. This one is shaped like a fish, and hanging from a thick industrial chain. Raw metal drops give it more hutzpa.
This piece is really simple. Different metal spikes on a chain...I may do more to it, not sure....
This necklace has several awesome charms on it. A locket, a filigree jug, an ax, moss agate, and a spike are all represented. Like a jumble of random, and confused heirlooms on a wayward chain.
