A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE: A customer asked a contractor friend of mine how much it would cost to do this project. My friend gave him a proposal: $4...500 The customer responded: That’s seems really high. My friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job? The customer answered: $2500 maximum My friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself. The customer answered: I don't know how to. My friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future. The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it! My friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc.. The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job. My friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project. The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair. My friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday. The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends. My friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work. The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time! My friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors. The customer answered: What do you mean by that? My friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am. The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am! My friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site. The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project. CONCLUSION: When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for: Knowledge Experience Custom Skills Tools Time to plan Time to prepare Professionalism Work Ethic Excellence Discipline Commitment Integrity Taxes Licenses Sacrifices Liabilities Insurance Permits If you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices. If their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals. Just remember.. you get what you pay for. SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it. CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it. Sharing this to support all my friends, family and clients who are Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Tradesman.

Sad news from Paris about the passing of Kenzo Takada, one of the true fashion greats KENZO was the only designer whose work was chosen in consecutive year...s as the Fashion Museum‘s Dress of the Year. In 1976, two ensembles showcasing his genius with colour and pattern; followed in 1977 by his brilliantly cut oversized shirt, a new fashion silhouette, and a look that both foretold and heralded the work of other Japanese designers who changed the look of fashion forever in the 1980s See more

*COMING NEXT WEEK* Join Polly Leonard, the founder and editor of Selvedge Magazine for 5 episodes of the Selvedge Podcast. She has been making, thinking and wr...iting about textiles for 40 years. The more you learn about textiles, the more you learn how much there is to still discover. Podcast features interviews with artists, designers, NGOs, co-operatives, collectors. Episode 1 Up-cycling With the global textile industry the second-largest polluter on the planet and landfills groaning with barely worn clothing, there is no better topic for our first episode than Up-cycling. With its roots in the make-do and mend mentality, that for crafters never really went away, upcycling has the potential to make a tremendously positive environmental and social impact. Episode 2 Plastic Fantastic The topic for Episode 2 is plastic. Is it as bad as we think it is? To answer this question, Polly speaks with a product designer redefining how we look at plastic bottles, an Italian designer who combines polyurethane with post-production textile waste, and a Senegalese partnership which brings vibrant African design to a European market. Episode 3 High Fibre Polly investigates why wonderful natural fibres have lost the battle of popularity so abysmally? Clothing is increasingly constructed from a narrow range of mostly synthetic fibres Episode 4 Red Hot The earliest existing proof of dyed thread found in turkey dates back to the sixth millennium, it was red. In this episode, we find out why red that is the hottest colour? We uncover the roots of ancient colourants and how today’s designers are taking advantage they’re their inherent qualities. Episode 5 Flower Power In this episode, we stop and smell the roses discovering on the way an enduring connection between fabric, flowers and philosophy.

"In 1992 Dr Ulla Tillander-Godenhielm discover an album of drawings, which belonged to Fabergé workmaster, Henrik Wigström who was a pupil and later a colleague... of Michael Perchin in his Saint Petersburg workshop. They both worked exclusively for the House of Fabergé, which employed several workmasters, scattered throughout the city in their own workshops, at any one time. These workmasters employed their own workers and were responsible for their own work. They were working independently but their output was for Fabergé. They were allowed to mark their pieces with their own marks and trained apprentices and employed journeymen. In 1900 the House of Fabergé brought the Saint Petersburg workmasters together in one building where Fabergé himself had an apartment. Wigström and his family lived in the building also. This proved to be a very efficient way to run the business." love D'Artagnan. See more

Обработка воротника с отрезной стойкой на женской блузкеhttps://korfiati.ru/2020/09/obrabotka-vorotnika-s-otreznoj-stojkoj/Воротник с отрезной стойкой часто выполняется не только на мужских рубашках, но и на женских блузках. Несмотря на казалось бы классическую сдержанность формы, блузки с таким воротником могут быть выполнены в самых разных стилях от строгого делового до романтичного, главное правильно подобрать ткань. Как обработать воротник с отрезной стойкой, с цельно...кроеной стойкой и отложной воротник без стойки обо всем этом расскажем в нашем очередной уроке.Одной из отличительных особенностей воротника с отрезной на женских блузках является то, что, в отличие от мужских строгих рубашек, такой воротник более мягкий. Он хорошо держит форму, плавно облегает шею и не создает дискомфорт. Секрет заключается в использовании гибких клеевых прокладок, которые, в отличие от стандартной воротничковой прокладки, менее плотные и жесткие. Перед тем как приступить к обработке воротника, рекомендуем прочитать урок о подборе и применении прокладочных материаловЧем отличается обработка воротника с отрезной и цельнокроеной стойкой?Схематично показана обработка воротников:а) с отрезной стойкой,b) c цельнокроеной стойкой,с) отложного воротника без стойки.

So, what's up with vegetable ivory? Vegetable Ivory Buttons (VI) are some of my favorite types of buttons. They are made from the Tagua Nut, which is the see...d that is found on certain Palm Trees, mainly in South America. They were initially widely used to make buttons back in the 1880s by a button manufacturer in Rochester NY. Before plastics came into play, approximately 20% of all buttons were made from vegetable ivory. The tagua nut is very pliable and relatively easy to carve, sometimes with extreme intricacy by talented carvers. It was used for many other things such as netsukes and jewelry. As far as buttons, they were mass produced with most being rather ordinary clothing buttons, BUT, there are some that were carved and pierced that really are extraordinary and often overlooked by collectors. For new collector's, it's a great subject to start with as they can be inexpensive and rather easy to find, although there are some very pricey and Fabulous Carved Vegetable Ivory Buttons and worth every penny. Vegetable Ivory buttons are still being made today as they are very eco friendly Elephants love Vegetable Ivory and I love elephants and VI No Just There is lots of information out there on VI buttons including a book by Pat and David Fields 'From Nut to Button' and if any of you VI experts out there, (I personally know of one) that know far more than I, would like to comment with any other factoids or resources, that would be great! Spread the info! Feel free to share this post. Here are some examples that I have in my collection or have shared with others. All images are mine with the exception of the non buttony images, nuts and trees and stuff.

Happy Birthday Oscar de la Renta! This c.1978 evening ensemble is exemplary of Oscar de la Renta's romantic design aesthetic. Known for his luxurious, dramatic..., and feminine sensibility, de la Renta pairs a peasant blouse with bishop sleeves and a full skirt, thereby injecting historical references into the popular gypsy look of the late seventies. In its use of elements from the 1860s, this piece is characteristic of the historicizing trend in fashion during the 1970s.

Беттина Грациани легендарная модель середины прошлого века. Ее обожали знаменитые кутюрье того времени: Кристиан Диор, Пьер Бальмен, Жак Фат, Юбер Живанши. Д...ля Живанши Беттина была не просто моделью. Она была музой, доверенным лицом, пресс-секретарем. Именно ей он посвятил блузку Беттина с черно-белыми воланами на рукавах. Именно она вдохновила дизайнера на создание аромата Amarige от Givenchy. Тоненькую, рыжеволосую, упрямую, язвительную Беттину до сих пор называют первой супермоделью На самом деле ее зовут Симон Мишлин Боден. Она родилась 8 мая 1925 года в нормандской деревне, в семье железнодорожного рабочего. Будучи в преклонном возрасте, Беттина вспоминала в интервью журналу Vogue : Я росла в разгар войны. Чтобы добраться до школы, мне приходилось переезжать на велосипеде через замерзшие капустные поля. Это закаляет. В 1944 году Симон переехала в Париж, освобожденный от немецко-фашистской оккупации. В руках юной Симон были эскизы, девушка мечтала быть дизайнером. Но ее внешность привлекала большее внимание, чем ее рисунки. На одном из собеседований Симон предложили работу модели. Девушке были нужны деньги, и она согласилась. Сценический псевдоним придумал для нее дизайнер Жак Фат, сказав, что девушка по имени Симона уже есть среди его моделей. Теперь имя Беттины Грациани все помнят и знают гораздо лучше, чем Симон Мишлин Боден В 50-х Беттину называли самой фотографируемой женщиной во Франции. И это не было преувеличением, ведь снимков с Беттиной, воплощением парижской элегантности, сохранились тысячи. В 40-х и 50-х Беттина правила бал в качестве королевы парижской моды. Она совершенно выглядела в нарядах ведущих дизайнеров Европы (Chanel, Valentino, Givenchy) и дружила с самими дизайнерами. Со своей гибкой фигурой и тончайшей талией, копной рыжих волос и загадочными выражением лица Беттина стала символом стиля New Look. С Юбером Живанши Беттина познакомилась в ателье Фата. Им обоим было немного за двадцать, они были увлечены модой больше, чем всем остальным. Юбер и Беттина мгновенно нашли общий язык. Когда, спустя четыре года, 25-летний Живанши открыл свой собственный дом моды, то пригласил Беттину к себе: быть лицом марки, пресс-агентом и просто вдохновительницей. Беттина и Живанши дружили всю жизнь. Уже 88-летний дизайнер говорил: "Она никогда не совершала подлостей, не была жестокой. Это большая редкость в мире моды. Беттину все обожали. Она всегда была личностью".

Хулиганка, гэтсби, newsboy И это все о ней о кепке-восьмиклинке. История этой кепки насчитывает уже более ста восьмидесяти лет, и до сих пор она никогда не в...ыходила из моды. Считается, что прародителем кепки был кепи головной убор военных, который был более мягким и удобным, чем кивер (вспомните гусаров). Появился этот головной убор в 1830 году во Франции и имел сначала круглый козырек, а потом квадратный так он меньше размокал от дождя. К 20-м годам XX века мода на восьмиклинки дошла и до США. Причем там этот головной убор пришелся по душе самым бунтующим слоям населения, от фабричных работников до гангстеров. Кепка-хулиганка стала атрибутом крепких парней, готовых пустить в ход кулаки. Впрочем, аристократия тоже не отказывала себе в удовольствии примерить необычный аксессуар. С легкой руки автора романа Великий Гэтсби, герои которого довольно уверенно щеголяли в легких или твидовых кепи, восьмиклинку переименовали в Gatsby cap, позднее она стала популярна и среди членов Лиги плюща в США. В России у этого головного убора тоже сложилась неоднозначная репутация. Простые по крою модели носили беспризорники и представители рабочего сословия, а позднее и бандиты, встречаться с которыми рядовые граждане избегали. Стоит ли говорить, что выбирать себе подобный аксессуар, не имея принадлежности к определенному сословию, было весьма рискованно. Не добавил восьмиклинке популярности и тот факт, что ее сделали частью клоунского костюма знаменитое кепи в мелкую шахматную клетку было известно по всему миру. Мода на newsboy cap вернулась неожиданно уже в XXI веке. К тому времени название хулиганка, принятое для нее в России, основательно подзабылось. А вот фильмы о золотом веке Голливуда и жизни британской аристократии прошлого напомнили о том, что этот головной убор изначально имел весьма благородное происхождение. Сегодня ни один модник не представляет своего образа без стильной кепи, сшитой из 8 клиньев.

TEMARI Time-honoured Japanese crafts come together in a joyous partnership Temari, ‘handball’ in Japanese, has a long and colourful past. Making temari was an e...ntertaining pastime for noble women in the early part of the Edo Period (1600-1868). Originally crafted from the same silk threads woven into elegant kimono, temari were made as pretty playthings.When cotton was introduced into Japan, women of lesser means could afford to make them and the craft spread throughout the country. Crafters of each region added a personal touch, recycling local fibres and dried plants into each ball. Embroidery designs gained a regional aspect with the addition of geometric and floral designs symbolic to each area. Japanese mothers and grandmothers made temari to give to their young children. The girls and boys loved mari-tsuki, a game played by singing nonsense rhymes while tossing the ball. Celebrations of both New Year and Girl’s Day called for new temari. A gift to a bride symbolized good luck in her new home. Today however, the thread-wrapped and embroidered balls are displayed and enjoyed as works of fibre art.
