Pattern Magic Vol. 2

Alright. Since Lisa's told me that she's "tired of looking at the computer wires" on the previous post (and really, so am I)--I've finally put together a new post. Things have been super busy lately and because of all the work I've been producing over the past month and half, it's given me some carpal tunnel issues. Great. So I've had to limit my computer work, like blog posting.
But anyway, I got this book called Pattern Magic Vol. 2 a few months ago. While I don't plan on making any of these pieces (I don't know how to sew and the wearability of some of the pieces are totally questionable--like the bottom image), I was intrigued by the sculptural and architectural forms of the clothes. Really beautiful pieces.



Those are stunning pieces! More like pieces of art than practical, definitely.

THANKS MEG! Those patterns are really cool though I can't sew either. Take care of the carpal.

Those are beautiful forms. What language is that written on the pages? Japanese?

Great blog and lovely pics. I especially like your feature on the computer wire art. I used to have to deal with a lot of that when I designed marketing materials for techy companies. It was surprisingly fun to look at the stock photos - there is something surreal about all the colors and shapes and lines.

This is so fascinating, I hope they continue making more volumes in this series.
The last time I saw mega huge sleeves was when I went to my aunt's wedding in the Philippines!
