Dress Of The Day with Angela

Red and gold colour pendant. Pendants by Martine Meyer. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.  My new pendant cost ten pounds. I bought it at an art show in Finchley, north west London. I saw the display table. The Material  The material is glass. I asked Martine how she made them. She said, "I bake them in a kiln." Baked in a kiln  means on high heat. I retorted, "I'll leave that to you!" I could string beads on elastic myself if I had the time and energy and skill. But dealing with hot and needing a kiln, or to visit one, that is a whole extra dimension. I shall leave that to other experts. Red Colour I looked at all the pendants.

I met Tanja Manuela Sadow, the Dean and director, a jolly, smiling lady, as well as one of her graduates, and I admired some amazing designs. The courses re-start about every two months, and you can take several levels, end...

  Yellow and abstract pattern in black and blue. V neck. Round neck. Vivid royal blue sleeves contrast. Polo neck shirt with polo logo. Label from Lane Bryant. Pensive pose. His New York tee-shirt shows a scene from New York and the lettering NYC, for New York City. Why do they bother to state the word city? Because New York City is in New York state.    These photos show student Shehan in his favourite yellow tee-shirts which his mother buys for him in the markets of Sri Lanka. V-necks, round necks, they all look good. A great contrast against his dark hair. I bought tee-shirts from indoor market stalls in Singapore near the MRT station. I bought one, after being torn between three which I liked. The seller offered me a second at a reduced price.  I learned from this that it is worthwhile trying to bargain in Asia. Whether or not they show prices. Poses My view on poses is this: 1 looking at the viewer is more engaging. However, if you want to focus on the clothes r...
