Yes! A few of my diy have been featured on Altered Couture Magazine! I'm super excited and honored to be part to this magazine full of diy inspiration! I would like to thank the magazine Editor Beth Livesay for choosing me! It's been a pleasure to collaborate with her! My diy shoes had to celebrate! See more pics of the party (and more of the pages I'm in) after the jump!

Alcuni dei miei fai da te sono stati pubblicati sulla rivista americana Altered Couture! Vorrei ringraziare l'Editore Beth Livesay per avermi scelto! Le mie scarpe diy hanno organizzato un party per festeggiare. Troverete altre foto del party (e altre foto delle pagine in cui compaiono i miei progetti) dopo il click!

Versace inspired jeans DIY

DIY jeans
white altered blouse (a diy in progress)

I've been dreaming about a micro studded cloth for a while but the idea of inserting each mini stud by hand was just unrealizable until I found these "beads in a bottle" (doesn't it sound like something came out from Wonderland?). It's a gummy product you can squeeze onto fabric and that makes a ball that looks like a bead.  I found my "micro studding machine"! I picked the metal colors series and I started "to stud" a pair of black jeans. The inspiration is Versace. I decorated them around the lateral seam with the greek fret then I added a spiral on the front.

Ho sempre desiderato possedere un abito decorato con mini borchie ma l'idea di applicarle manualmente una ad una era semplicemente non realizzabile fino a quando ho trovato una ragionevole alternativa: perline in bottiglia (dal nome sembra un oggetto proveniente dal paese delle meraviglie). E' un prodotto viscoso che può essere applicato sulla stoffa e forma una pallina dall'aspetto di una perlina: una perfetta "macchina borchiatrice"! Ho scelto il prodotto in colori metallici affinchè la perlina sembrasse una borchia. L'ispirazione è Versace, ho decorato i pantaloni con una greca intorno alla cucitura laterale e ho aggiunto dei decori sul davanti.




a life size view of the pattern I drew, the grid step is 1 cm wide
il disegno della greca, il quadretto è largo 1 cm
I drew the pattern onto the trousers with a chalk
ho disegnato la greca sul pantalone con un gessetto

the spiral: finished and dried
la spirale finita ed asciutta

If you want to decorate smaller areas rhinestuds are a good alternative to "beads in a bottle". They are small metallic studs that can be ironed onto the fabric, you can buy ready to use decorations or loose ones.

Se volete decorare aree più piccole le borchiette piatte sono una valida alternativa alle "perline in bottiglia" . Si incollano sulla stoffa stirandole e si possono acquistare in merceria interi decori già pronti o sfuse.

A special thanks to Beth Livesay and Stampington for sending me a bag full of these special beads for my fashion experiments. Visit Beth's blog: Couture over Coffee

Un ringraziamento particolare a Beth Livesay e a Stampington per avermi mandato un pacchetto pieno di "perline in bottiglia" per i miei esperimenti di moda. Visitate il blog di Beth: Couture over Coffee.
