i am ALIVE!

i finally understand the burst of joie de vivre people get from alcohol. liquid courage! that cliff right there? jump it you say? hold please, after i take a swig of courage juice, yes it has now become a ditch. after a few glasses of wine, i got an adventurous spark in my bones, and i decided, no, my hands decided as they took on a life of their own, to make this fur COLLAR!! laugh now, but you'll see you cant escape its force. i don't know why i haven't thought of it before, but this little beaut is magic! take an ordinary coat, any coat really, tack this thing on, and it breathes a whole new spirit into the thing.

trenches look beguiling, sweaters more admirable,denim more approachable.

so easy to make, and i have five giant safety pins holding it in place. this collar goes with everything!! not to mention LEATHER. i let my hair down for this one. this was a minor project, craft more than sewing really, a rebellious break from that all-consuming prima donna, THE GOWN. 'til next time, Kemosabe...
p.s. meet my new best friend, Nars' Schiap.
