This is her third piece of The Empress Dowager's New Jewels!
She basically said, "Do whatever you want. I trust you. Just as long as it is different from the first two "bib" pieces."
I've been nursing the thought of making a piece that can double up as a scarf as well so the prototype is now Pam's Milky Way Of Rock(Candy).
It took me ages to complete but it's done and has gone to its new mistress.
It was hard to let it go but hey, I can always make another for myself. And for those of you who might be keen to have one of this versatile piece. In a different fabric, of course. Because no two pieces of The Empress Dowager's New Jewels can ever look the same, remember?
Thank you, Pam! For letting me do my thing again! I hope you'll be back for more. xx
The two charlatans in Hans Christian Andersen's tale made the Emperor's new "clothes" from a fabric so wondrous that, they promised, will help him separate the plebs from the cultured in his kingdom.
The Likkle Girl, inspired by designers/artists utilising unlikely materials in the (re)production of classic objects, makes "jewellery" with "gems" fashioned from her collection of jewel-hued Marimekko fabric, recycled scraps and new cloth and tries to shamelessly flog them off as "precious stones".
The Empress Dowager's New Jewels is her take on those old-school over-the-top drippy-drapey heirloom jewellery in exaggerated and abstract forms which she hopes you will see the same tongue-in-cheek value in as she does.
