It's a modern look that dabbles in the silhouettes of bondage, while maintaining its femininity with vintage textiles. When Angie is designing her Norwegian Wood line, she's inspired by the trim and embellishments she finds in local fabric shops. "Montreal used to be one of the main manufacturing capitals of Canada, so there are a lot of great little hidden treasures that I seek out in order to make my designs." Angie is interested in creating accessories and clothing that transform the wardrobe you already have.</p> <p><a href="http://iheartnorwegianwood.etsy.com/"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/3773710466_c9f429a092_o.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><em>[Clockwise from top left: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iheartnorwegianwood/3773710466/" target="_blank">Feathers &amp; Fringe</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29961751">Elastic Harness - Denim Blue</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30017378">Chain and Elastic Harness</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30310508">Floral Collection Leggings - Wild Roses</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30538382">Luxe Collection - Bike Short Leggings</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iheartnorwegianwood/3774484209/">Punk Ballerina</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30277049">Maximum Fringe Necklace - Black, Champagne, Denim</a>]</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30599969"><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/pink_cage_skirt.jpg" alt="pink_cage_skirt.jpg" width="264" height="264" /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Susie from <a href="http://stylebubble.typepad.com/style_bubble/2008/06/put-me-in-a-cag.html" target="_blank">Style Bubble</a> models her I Heart Norwegian Wood Cage Skirt:<br /><br />"Thank you Angie for blessing my life with cages. No, that isn't an ironic feminist poetic statement. I thought I'd never mean that sincerely but I do. Why? From the frothy cage dress came a sturdier cage skirt which in reality is a whole lot easier to wear. Depending on how high I pull it up on my waist, there's also different ways of working the structure of the cage."</p> <p>Cage skirt by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30599969">iheartnorwegianwood</a>, $110</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30436447"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/susie_cage_skirt.jpg" alt="susie_cage_skirt.jpg" width="334" height="334" /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Queen Michelle from <a href="http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/2009/04/bird-in-a-cage.html" target="_blank">Kingdom of Style</a> models her tweed cage skirt:<br /><br /> "The omni-talented Angie from Norwegian Wood sent me one of her most marvelous cage skirts. I got mine made in brown tweed. I liked the idea of the contemporary shape of the cage combined with the old lady fabric. I never realized just how useful this skirt actually is until I wore it.

<p><em>Feather your nest with this beautiful and fiendishly clever project, courtesy of Danielle Thompson</em><em>, a.k.a. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6029350" target="_blank">TinyBazaar</a>. Check out her blog, <a href="http://thompsonfamily.typepad.com/kitschy_digitals_blog/" target="_blank">Kitschy Digitals</a>, for more craftiness!</em><br /><br />I love the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/feather-trend/">feather trend</a> of late, especially in fashion. One thing that can be difficult with feathers is their fragility; they often fall apart with even the smallest amount of wear. I had this in mind when I created this project. You don't have to worry about them disintegrating!<br /><br />I wanted to apply this feather trend to a home decor project: create a wreath out of these printed paper feathers. The result is a modern take on the traditional wreath. (And so pretty to display for springtime!)<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/1.jpg" alt="" width="564" height="376" /><br /><strong>For this project you will need:</strong><br />- The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/violet_feathers.pdf">violet</a> and/or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/magenta_feathers.pdf">magenta</a> feather PDF <em>(If you're interested in more feather colors, check out the <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/74408/?filters=digital-kits-and-fonts%2Fkitschy-digitals%2Fdigital-kits" target="_blank">digital kit</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22857889" target="_blank">print-outs</a> in her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6029350" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>!) </em><br />- Some good, sharp scissors<br />- Metal wreath form (as pictured - mine is around 12" in diameter)<br />- Your choice of paper to print the feathers on (I used regular matte white photo paper, but you could use cardstock, textured cardstock, or any paper in any color you'd like.)<br />- A strong glue that will hold paper to metal (I used E-6000 because I wanted to make sure the paper would adhere to the metal really well. It's super strong but very toxic, so if you use this glue, use it in a very well ventilated area!)<br /><br /><strong>Step One:</strong> I used several sheets of feathers for this wreath, as it will take quite a few. To save paper and ink, just print them as you need them. These files are PDF files, so you should be able to open these on any computer without the need of photo-editing software. You will need Acrobat Version 6 or later. You can download it for free at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/" target="_blank"><span><span style="color: #003399;">http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/</span></span></a>.<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/2.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="377" /><br /><strong>Step Two:</strong> Cut out your feathers. One tip I learned a long time ago when I was doing a lot of decoupage: Instead of letting your cutting hand take the lead, let your non-cutting hand move the paper/shape. In my experience, it's much easier to cut out detailed shapes this way! For example, if you're right handed, you hold your scissors in your right hand, and the paper in your left hand. Keep your right hand (and scissors) still, and let your left hand move the paper back and forth. Your left hand will guide the cutting instead of the scissors.<br /><br /><strong>Step Three:</strong> Once you have quite a few feathers cut out, you can start gluing them to your wreath form. This metal form has two "tiers." You'll need to start on the bottom tier. These feathers will rest underneath the feathers on the top tier. Start by adding a drop of glue to the top metal rim as seen here:<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/3.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="377" /><br />Then add a drop of glue to the bottom rim:<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/4.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="377" /><br />Then attach your first feather:<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/5.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="377" /><br />Keep attaching the feathers all the way around until you finish the bottom tier.<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/6.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="377" /><br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/7.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="377" /><br />Now attach feathers to the entire top tier.<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/8.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="377" /><br />You're finished! Now you can embellish it if you'd like, or keep it as is. I added some green pompoms to my wreath.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/wreath_smaller.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><br /><em>Many thanks to Danielle Thompson for sharing her project and beautiful photos with us.

<p>The Roman trend has been all over New York this summer. Mix it with some natural, rustic pieces and transform yourself into the goddess of the woods and the hunt. It's the perfect way to wind down the summer, and you can even take it with you into fall if you add some light and natural sweatery layers. </p><p>All you need are drapey white or light-colored dresses, some chunky bronze or gold jewelry, and a great suede bag to join the Pantheon! <br /><br /><em>Get hip to the latest <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/Trends/" class="column">Trends</a> on the Storque.</em></p>
