Keys.....to the fashion show!

I now have 104 ceramic keys for my collar! I figured out that it takes me 7 and a half mintues to make one key, thats two every 15 mins, making 8 an hour. I made 50 yesterday. I made 8 today- i also knitted the yarn for my vest. I have the pattern piece for the vest so maybe i will start on that tonight?? Tomorrow Kim is going to help me paint the keys white then glaze them, then they will need to be fired again. I am trying to make as many keys as i can in the time i have. If i make 50 or more everyday- well that would be fantastic!

Lee the Queen

Just watched a program about Alexander McQueen. Very sad. And wonderful. His life along with his 'founder' Isabella Blow. She was truly fabulous. Such a tragedy. It showed his first shows, and his last. How he shocked the world. His shows were art. His collections were staged like theatre. His models were actress. Beautiful and distorted in his designs. He is a queen. Its so sad how his talent was at his best when his mother and Isabel died. How can his talent carry on without him? No one could replace that type of imagination and originality.
