It's hard I know to get people to your blog. You work hard on making it look nice and you post regularly and sometimes you put up free tutorials and hold giveaways, but still it's difficult to build an audience. Now us crafty folk tend to stick together, so in that spirit I have started a list on my facebook page. If you have a sewing or bag making blog (or facebook page) why not pop over to my fb page and leave your details? That way we'll have a list of sewing bloggers all in one place. Just add a comment to the list.
Here's the address.
Yesterday amid the snow and ice in Kent I caught the train up to London where I met my friend Sue. We then went to the Victoria and Albert Musuem to see the
Hollywood Costume Exhibition. Photography isn't allowed in the exhibition, which was a shame, because the costumes were amazing. I've got a couple of pictures from the V and A website but they really don't do the exhibition justice.
For example they had the costumes of just about all the Queen Elizabeth's from Bette Davis onwards. Glenda Jackson, Cate Blanchet, Flora Robson, Judi Dench, and possibly others. They also had snippets of the films playing on a screen behind the costumes so you could see what they looked like on the actresses and on the screen.
In another gallery they had the costumes displayed with little screens above showing the face of the actor. Some of the faces were little film clips of them moving their head or smiling or something. Really brought the costumes to life. It was very hard to pick out a favourite so I'm not going to try. However some of the iconic costumes included: superman, gladiator, Mrs Thatcher (Meryl Streep), Charlie Chaplin's The Tramp, Dorothy's dress from the Wizard of OZ, and that white dress that catches the warm air from the subway that Marilyn Munro wore. It was interesting to read the notes that explained how the costumes are designed and chosen and how they effect the film and the characters. The exhibition is on until the end of January. What a great way to light up a dull winter's day.
While you're here I'll let you know I've re-stocked my
Etsy shop. There are some great Christmas gifts!
