¿ Quién no ha cantado esta canción saltando a la comba cuando éramos niñas ? Así he ido cantando yo cuando he ido terminando esta colección de puntillas sobre una pieza que he hecho en
cartonage.Saqué un patrón del largo que necesitaba ( va a medida para ser colocada en un sitio????? ) . Le dí la misma forma en la parte superior y posterior. Suelo hacer los
patrones en papel de periódico , así lo he aprendido de mi madre. Puedes hacer tantas pruebas como necesites y además es una forma de reciclarlo.
La parte delantera está hecha en
cartón pluma blanco de 3mm, la posterior en cartón blanco de 2.5mm.
Luego cubierto de
lino bordado , 28ct con hilo de seda color Garnet de Vikki Clayton , sobre el que cosí una pequeña colección de
cintas francesas que he ido coleccionando.¡ Me encantan !
Detrás utilicé
una tela de las de patch, un rojo del que he sacado mucho partido pues tiene la medida de una trasera. La compré en Dechado hace tiempo, y lo dicho, da mucho de sí. Lástima que estoy apurando lo último para este trabajo.
En el borde pegué con cola blanca
pasamanería que se adapta perfectamente a esta forma.
Las puntillas van sujetas con
alfileres de cristal blanco , que son más largos y abarcan más. Se venden para bolillos.
Creo que os he dado bastante información sobre cómo lo he hecho por si queréis poneros a ello.
Colección una...
Colección dos.....
La parejita por delante .....
.... y por detrás ...
Como podéis imaginar irán a mi armario de costura que estoy arreglando.
En marcha están el resto de " las colecciones " que os iré enseñando según vaya terminando.
I've seen a little of Washington, DC based interior design Darryl Carter's work before but it's his own Virgina getaway in the new Elle Decor that has me drooling! It passes my "I could move in today and be blissfully happy" test with flying colors. Carter calls his style "new traditional" and has used the phrase for his new book that will be released later this year. I can't wait to see it but until then, I will continue to pour over the photos of this home.
Carter's work is definitely American but also seems to have a Swedish feeling to it with it's white walls and floors and simple elegance. But unlike the Swedish who use paler furnishings, Carter uses black and dark brown to great effect.
The sofa in the living room was designed by Carter and upholstered in oatmeal linen. The warm colors of the fabrics, rugs and wood keep the interior warm and inviting.
A silversmith's table is used as a console in the foyer.
The farm table was actually designed by Carter and is made of reclaimed wood. I love the horn handled carafe and the pale shades of pottery on the built in shelves.
More reclaimed wood becomes shelves in the kitchen while an 18th-century table becomes an island. It's funny that the modern appliances blend in nicely and don't actually look out of place here.
I love the simplicity of the 19th-century portrait above the fireplace.
A painted barn door creates over sized art in the dining room and reminds me of a Steven Klein horse photograph.
The studio is one of my favorite rooms. I love the sculptural quality of the antique gurney and banyan bark partition from Indonesia. I also printed this photo out for inspiration for a client project. They are thinking about installing ceiling fans in their summer house and the dark version here looks like a more interesting alternative to white.
The outside of the studio.
A simple guestroom dressed in duvet and shams of Rogers & Goffigon fabric.
The horn chair looks like something I've seen at Nina Griscom's shop and also looks like sculpture in the simple setting.
Another beautiful guestroom. I bet Darryl Carter has many visitors to his beautiful home every weekend. I know I would inviting myself if I lived in the area.
Carter designed the bed in the master bedroom and created a vanity in the bathroom from an oak demilune table below. All in all, the home looks like a welcome respite from Carter's daily grind in DC. Sometimes it's nice to get away from color and pattern that one encounters at work in the design world and escape to a sea of white and soothing colors. I know I would!

It's interesting to see how 
Each room has beautiful old wallpaper that creates a beautiful backdrop to John Derian's new line of furniture.
