the denim legging? have i really been that disconnected from the world that i don't know about these? i know my sister won't let me wear leggings but these would be excellent for boots....
not only does it add some color and texture to the room, it's a totally do-able DIY project...
hello mrs. draper:)
"This is the first major solo exhibition of Aldwyth, a collage and assemblage artist who stands on the edge of the art world. She paces around its perimeter, taking measure of its mass and scale. She dare not dip in her toe for fear that it may consume her, yet her preoccupation with its magnificence cannot be quenched. To understand the machinations therein, she makes lists—and lists of lists. She asks questions. Who is in the history of art? Who is left out—and why? She collects images of artists' eyeballs, the better to see them with."
"Now in her seventies, Aldwyth lives and works in an octagonal house at the edge of a salt marsh on one of South Carolina's sea islands. For several decades, she has been producing important work in relative seclusion from the larger art world. Her assemblages are responses to the physical landscapes in which she has positioned herself—be it a hurricane-strewn island or a craggy meadow in the Colorado Rockies. The artist utilizes the history of art and ideas as the catalyst for complex, often epic-scaled collages that resemble medieval manuscript pages writ large. Despite her avoidance of crowds and cities, she devours information and images available to her from a variety of sources—art magazines, libraries, bookstores, the Internet. She is a voracious reader and inveterate collector of detritus. All of the objects and images that enter her purview become fair game, served up as the raw material from which her works are made."

i'm all for getting stylish items @ bargain prices but for as much as ms. zoe loves to talk about her jewelry, you'd think she would design original pieces or pieces that show off her styling skills...
