Geometric Past, Present or Future?

I've fallen in love with Geometric patterns. I can stop myself from sketching them and the fashion I drool over. I'm not sure if this was a fast trend the sparked my interest in Spring that's stuck too long or if this geometric pattern thing is here to stay.  Regardless I love it! I recently went the the Museum of Modern Art in Chicago and saw the amazing Alexander Calder exhibit and was inspired to make more sketches. I'm currently making them into screen prints.

I can totally make that!

I came across this amazing Etsy store the Thief & Bandit with this T-Shirt necklace. I love handmade stuff and always support handmade stuff, but my budget doesn't allow for me to purchase this lovely necklace for $42. So instead I will be making one myself with used t-shirts I have at home. See this link for DIY tutorial on how to make the basic shape at Two Kitties.

Also a great tutorial on how to remake an old T-shirt into an awesome handmade piece at This Old Dress.
