othing would irritate my boyfriend more than for me to endeavor to take on yet another creative project. As it stands, I have about 4 in the works and not enough time to devote to any of them at the moment. But, try telling this rationale to the ever churning creative wheels of my mind! Thus, bringing me to my latest "want du jour": a custom needlepoint pillow. In order for me to turn this one into a reality also involves needlepoint lessons. Nevertheless! I want it and need it. I was inspired by the Jonathan Adler Disco Lady pillow. Not sophisticated enough for my living room, but definitely headed in the right direction. His pillow evokes a certain Liza quality so I went on the hunt for an image of Ms. Minnelli circa her Studio 54 days. I decided the raw images of her from her sessions with Warhol - shot with a Polaroid camera - were just perfect. They translate very well into the traditional medium of needlepoint and for about the same price as an Adler. Check out the wonderful site Needlepaint.com. Course, the hours and hours it will take me to complete will only make the finished product that much more enjoyable. Remind me to tell you about my "latch hook porn" I made. That's a whole 'nuther story.
