Killer Kween

My partner has received her package for the "Craft My Favorite Decade" swap, so I can post some of the stuff I made now. She liked the 18th century, so my crafts were inspired by Marie Antoinette. I did some research and watched both he PBS documentary and Sofia Coppola (very dissapointing) movie. I loved the tote bag so much, I made 2!

I'm starting with my favorite item. This tote bag is so awesome! I'm not a great sewer, but I gave myself a pat on the back for design. To think, I just had these scraps of fabric and lace laying around my craft room.

This ruffle collar/neckwarmer was knitted in acrylic, then embellished with gray lace and gi'normous buttons.

Trinkets included chandelier earrings (real and fake), crocheted cuff, a ring, cell phone charm, silhouette necklace and "Let them eat cake" mirror.

My partner also liked the 50s, so I tossed in some retro nautical-ish things.
Nautical earrings:


Nautical hair clip


Mermaid and hibiscus necklace


I sent a few more things, but nothing worth blogging about. Thanks for looking!
