creative handcrafts from 1970

10/12/2015

 

My design sweet spot is somewhere right around 1970, the publication date of this magazine. Bright colors, bold graphics, stylized depictions of animals and plants, yarn so boldly polyester it makes you itch just looking at it... This is my era.

I love this entire outfit (at right), but I'm not super confident I could pull off wearing a throw blanket as a skirt.

These friendly creatures are made of excelsior wrapped with thread and then painted, a process that sounds frustrating, time consuming, and very messy. But just look at the results! ( I am skeptical that anyone ever found this craft worth doing. Sorry, 1970.)

I genuinely love these felt birds. This craft could run in a modern magazine. There's a pattern in the back of the magazine for each bird; I've included one here. Get out your tracing paper!

Stay tuned for a part two to this post! There's too much goodness in here for just one.
