G is for...
I was invited to a dinner party the other day, and I made a couple of pins for the girls
(whose names both start with a G). These are the tiniest gifts I've ever wrapped...
These photos were taken with my iPhone and edited with the VSCO CAM app, which I
just discovered via this post, written by Rach at the lovely Penelope and Pip blog.

Sneak peek: tango shoe cards
I got the cards back from the printing shop today, and I'm so happy with the result.
Here's a quick snapshot to give you an idea how the cards look like:
The cards are printed on a beautiful, cream-coloured drawing paper. They're double,
and will come with envelopes that I make myself. So this weekend will be filled with
envelope making and styling / photographing for the new shop addition.
Happy weekend!

Soon in my Etsy shop
My "The Tango Shoe Is Dreaming" collages are getting a lot of hearts on Etsy
(or at least it seems like a lot for a newbie like myself)
I'm very fond of this design, so I've decided to make cards as well.
I just finished the first drawing that will be scanned and printed for the cards.
The cards will be available in my Etsy shop soon!

My new tango shoe bag
I recently finished my first shoe bag!
I'm keeping this one for myself, but I've just found this beautiful, soft plum velvet fabric
which I'll use to make another bag. If I'm happy with it, I'll add it to my Etsy shop!

Treasury feature: homage to Andrea Missé
One of my "The Tango Shoe Is Dreaming" collages got featured in a very special treasury yesterday:
This treasury is an homage to Argentine tango dancer, Andrea Missé, who sadly passed away in a car
accident this week. Andrea Missé was one of the greatest contemporary female tango dancers -
she was beautiful, elegant and highly skilled. I'm honoured to be included in this treasury.
The treasury was curated by Federica Belli - thank you Federica!
The below video is from TangoCamp Sweden, in the same room I saw Missé perform in 2006.
I've chosen a milonga because I feel this dance celebrates the joy of Argentine tango -
Andrea Missé and partner Javier Rodriguez by prischepov 1979
Music: Reliquias Porteñas with Francisco Canaro

Note to self
I'm making a shoe bag. It's my own design from scratch - no pre-made pattern -
and inevitably, weird mistakes occur (typically, it's the "what becomes inside out
when it should have been inside in when the bag is turned outside out" issue).
So I made this little poster as a reminder to think first, then think again, THEN sew:
Note to self: Learning from one's mistakes is a noble thing.
It's also time-consuming and exceedingly annoying.
I don't know if anyone has said this before, but if not, I take credit for it =)
I'll be back in 2012 with a "start of the year" post and (hopefully) a new shoe bag!

New collage
I just listed a new collage in my Etsy shop
©Trud Fagerheim/Dear Demoiselle 2011
(satin, embroidery thread and drawing on aquarelle paper)
This one is called "On My Coat Hanger" because I'm fond of old-fashioned coat hangers.
They just make clothes look better, don't they?
