Mirrored Tape

In Style July 2009

 

It was a regular weekend of reading, following up with brides and looking for inspiration. Then, I came across something unconventional that I think I might just love! InStyle has a one-pager in their current issue about “Pretty Projects”. It’s in the life section and for brides flipping through a million magazines (admit it girls) it’s easy to miss something new and totally cool. So this stuff comes in rolls just like any packing tape but it’s got a twist that could be prefect for a new cool table, wall or wedding display: mirrored tape. I’m thinking you could incorporate it on tables as framing, maybe the escort display or photo memory. It’s literally out of the box and at $8 a roll could make a standout display, really stand out!

A Stitch in Time

July 31st, 2008

I cut this page out from a magazine in the Spring of 2003. I clearly have far too many magazine “pull pages” that I am sorting through. This one still intrigues me and it’s not a “new” idea. Memory Quilting marries the age-old art of quilt making with the modern process of photo transferring. Inspiration from the latest celebrity wedding can be found on any news stand.  The 1980’s sign-in books have given way to little notes in glass bowls, photo booth snapshots and signature notes in a beautiful coffee table book (my fav). All good, interactive and novel. If you want to do something special and distinctive consider creating a quilt composed of your guests special notes and wedding photos.
Make a Memory Quilt:
1. Purchase quilting material and cloth pens OR purchase crisp paper
2. Create a simple informative sign for guests to explain this alternative “guestbook”
3. Collect the guests notes and photos from the wedding (scan and print on transfer paper)
4. Build your quilt or take it to a professional who can assemble it for you
…If it’s soft and cuddly this memory will stay out of your treasure chest and on your sofa…
