Brown and Gray


When I made this top I was inspired by the stairs that I spend most of my time walking up and down. Every staircase at the back of an apartment building or condo in Chicago and Evanston look exactly like this. Same tan bricks, with gray painted stairs. There is only one gray for all the stairs, everywhere. I wonder if the bucket it comes in has a little picture of apartment stairs on it.

I wonder if there is another person on the face of the earth who would take inspiration from the backstairs of a condo building? It's a really cool shirt, by the way. What did you put around the neckline?

Also, I was so happy to find all these new postings!

The neckline has sequins, seed beads, and bugle beads.

I'm trying very hard not to get too crafty, but it is December and my box of sparkly things made it onto my sewing table.

I'm so happy you are giving into your sparkly side - I was afraid this project might get too Amish and austere.
