I just love these guys!!
Painstakingly stitched.
What a great look...and bag!
I'd been looking for a copy of this seminal book for several years, now...
...so imagine my excitement when I read a letter in Fiberarts magazine from the author, herself!
And while there's no felting at all in this book...
...it is filled with iconic images of a very particular generation of wearable art.
Alexandra Jacopetti (now Hart) is still very much alive and well and living in CA...
...and, unsurprisingly, has recently begun an Elder's Salon where folks from
their 40's to 80's can meet to talk about life, philosophy and societal change.
Being a '70's girl', myself, I love the 'trip back in time' that this book provides...
...reminding me of the days when the world seemed more naive and hopeful, humor was less mean, and young people weren't as cynical.
If you'd love to see more (and own a copy of this amazing time capsule, yourself)...
...you are welcome to contact Alexandra at ahart(at)sonic(dot)net.
She has a few boxes of brand-new copies of this book that were hidden away in an attic all of these years...
...and she'll even autograph one for you, if you like!!
