Craft Noir: February 2011
http://craftnoir.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The craftings of a shadowy figure. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. The Winter Film Capital of the World, 1910s. So the Iron Craft Challenge 8. I really loved the idea of using charms so I wouldn't have to pick just one thing. But out of all the vintage pictures of hotels, parks and statues I ended up finding a completely different direction. Yep, film. The Winter Film Capital of the World to be exact. Well in the 1910's. All in all I have a cool little piece of hometown history. Wednesday, February 23, 2011.
