Have any of you heard or even better, been to The Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas? I came across this place last night and I almost rolled off my bed with excitement. I think old neon signage like this is one of the coolest things man has ever come up with and this place in Vegas saves it from being lost and forgotten/destroyed. They collect old neon signage, some pieces are donated to them and others are literally rescued from buildings being torn down.
This is Gail Anderson’s vintage bottle cap collection. Damn it, why can’t things still be made like this? I meant it’s the smallest thing, but so much effort and consideration has been put into them to make them unique and rad. Gail, if I knew you, I would force you to let me ‘make it rain’ with these babies.
While I was looking around for some more hi-res pictures of these guys, I came across a embroidery project by Jennifer Sims. She used some of Gail’s bottle cap collection and embroidered bigger versions of them. I like them, I do.
Last Wednesday Jo and I went to the Elle and Mr Price new talent show. We got see some amazing clothes, like the collection above, which was designed by one of my new friends that I have recently had the pleasure of making, Amber Jones. When I saw these pieces I was so happy because not only are they super pretty, but we’re going to be able to buy them from Mr Price in the very near future. High-5 anyone? Kateesh!
That denim shirt better watch it’s fancy back, because i’m coming to get it and i’m not taking no for an answer.
