| Jessica and Nicholas' Wedding Jessica and Nicholas had their own DIY wedding last summer, complete with their own memorable website: cakeandfireworks.com.I got married last year and my wedding was completely DIY-- everything except the cake was either handmade, thrifted, or borrowed. My mother, aunt, mother-in-law, and I each made all the food for the event hundreds of macarons, fruit tarts, mini quiches. I think the food was the most work! My mother also made my sisters' bridesmaid dresses, her dress, my husband's vest, and the under-dress that I wore beneath my 100+ year old handmade lace wedding gown (which I found on eBay)! If someone's wedding clothes weren't homemade, they were thrifted. I think my wedding party was one of the most well-dressed ever, and for very cheap! I spent months tracking down vintage plates, vintage napkins, and glass pieces for the tables, and hand dyed fabric to accent the center of each table. I am so lucky to have so many talented family members and friends!See more photos of Jessica and Nicholas' Wedding after the jump!Read this article | Comment on this article blog.craftzine.com |

Missle Cozy I love this 2000 piece by artist Elizabeth Demaray: This is a view of a 10 ton 1957 Nike-Hercules Nuclear/Conventional Warhead, sitting on its launch pad. I have upholstered it in eighty-eight yards of light blue quilted satin. The piece involved softening and familiarizing this object by hand mapping it in its silo at the headlands Nike Missle site. The pattern that was created then allowed me to make a "cozy" style covering for the warhead.Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Fiber Art | Digg this! blog.craftzine.com |
