Ooo La La! Naughty Dancers....

I made one of these books a year or so ago and I decided to create another one. The Ziegfeld Follies was on Broadway in New York from 1907 to 1931...so much fun to memorialize here!

Book measures 10" x 7" and 4" thick. All images of Ziegfeld Dancers are printed on fine cotton.

Lots of pictures, and I'll try to describe the vintage laces and trims...
 Lots and lots of vintage wedding laces, appliqués and trims. I used three different wedding dresses in this book.


 On the left page below, I used a bunched ANTIQUE - 100 years old~ beaded netting. The netting is falling apart, but lent itself to being 'bunched'...The glass bead fringe was part of the same ensemble.
The brooch in the middle of the vintage lace flower is an antique piece of jewelry!
On the right side, you see layers and layers of vintage trims as well as several hand-dyed pieces of wedding lace with pearls.
 Closeups....




 Lots of vintage laces here... plus some hand painted Venise Lace appliqués.
 A closer look...
 Note the finely, hand tatted trims on the right side... these are SO DELICATE! Probably Antique.







 This is the last two-page spread. The right side is a pocket, made from two different wedding dresses, plus lots of hand-dyed Venise Lace.

 Can you see the sweet blue cut glass fringe?


 Here is the back side. Created with a vintage table-top doily cut down to size, and a beautiful heart cut out from an amazing Swiss runner.
 The spine... measures 4" thick!
