I love paper and fashion and what can be best than the 2 combined? After seeing the beautiful work of Eloise Danch, and reading the great post from The Crafts dept, I decided I NEED this book:

“Paper Illusions: the Art of Isabelle de Borchgrave” brings to us  the beautiful creations of the belgian artist, recreation of  the fashion of the past in paper. The few pictures I saw look astonishing.

And here the video I found on youtube, it has been filmed in her atelier (sorry, it is in german).

Alson on my shopping list (since a while!), “Barbie sogna Caterina de’ Medici”:

The book describes step by step the creation of an OOAK Barbie as Caterina de’ Medici, created for the event “Pitti Bimbo” in 2008. The text is english-italian. I found here a nice article but in italian, sorry  :-(
