New Petal Crochet Earrings

I started making these earrings a few months ago and I think I'm going to start making many more in different colors.  They are sort of in the spirit of free form crochet.  I would like to start using more natural colors.  In a way, they look to me like abstract leaves or flower petals.

For me mum for Mother's Day...

Continuing Medieval Fashion - McQueen

When I started this blog I was slightly obsessed with medieval fashion.  I wanted to find modern examples of medieval fashion and did not find much.  Well, I just stumbled into something today as I was browsing the NYTimes fashion blog for dress ideas...  Alexander McQueen's Fall 2010 line (his last show)...

I have learned today that much of his fashion may have been influenced by medieval times?
