Big show, small details

So who's been watching Project Runway season six? I'm pretty much hooked on the show and enjoy seeing what the designers come up with every episode. Sure, they don't make many things that I'd actually make/wear, but occasionally I see a few ideas I could use -- like this one from episode nine in which the designers were supposed to come up with an extravagant stage look for Christina Aguilera.

I absolutely loved the way that Christopher used a piece of tulle to add depth and interest to a simple white button. I'm thinking I might have to try this on one of the felted flower pins that I make. I'm hoping that it will give me better results than it did for him, since he was the runner-up for being auf'ed this week.

What about you? What are your favorite design details from Project Runway?

Some of you may remember the Handmade Holiday Bazaar that I helped organize last holiday season here in Gainesville. Well it's back (albeit with a facelift) and we're looking for artists / crafters / creative types who want to be vendors!

Last year's event was such a success that we're expanding and offering spaces for 30 vendors at a cool new venue. We also gave it a fresh new name that we hope will better reflect the cool factor of the event.
