Friday Eye Candy: Glass Dresses by Diana Dias-Leao

Yes that's right - glass dresses!!!  Diana Dias-Leao decided to take her established career in the fashion industry down a more fine arts route when she took up glass making at the age of sixty.




















Not designed to be worn although they have been for the purpose of photo shoots, these magnificent pieces are more sculptures than clothes.




















So intricate and pretty.

Not to mention ingenious - I can't work out how this one is holding itself together!

I think I saved the best one until last, I love the subtle blue-green tones.

Christmas gift tags!

I spent this afternoon working on some prototype designs for Christmas tags. Here are the results.












I made them using card and luggage labels, distressing inks, and images from clipart plus any other pretties I had lying around. I think I like the blue ones the best!!!
