From the Bookshelf

This week's volume from the bookshelf is a fascinating look at the fashion world of Iris Apfel.
The book is the result of an exhibit at the New York Metropolitan Museum in 2005-2006.

Everything in the collection is eye candy to the max, and will leave you delighted and amazed. My two favourites were the Bakelite sample chip necklace above, and the one below made from articulated artist's hands and oversized 19th century rosary beads.
