Do you love art? Do you wish to swaddle yourself in beautifuly painted canvas and parade around town? Well now you can with our new line Portrait of a Lady. This fashion introduces literally wearable art. From dresses to evening shawls, from handbags to blazers, all inspired by famous works of art.

The shawl pictured above is our take on Van Gogh’s Starry night. Imagine As you set out for an evening of romantic stargazing, you have only one thing on your mind, Van Gogh’s Starry Night! How you wish you could wrap yourself in the cool breezes and warm starlight. Now you can with this beautiful interpretation of Starry Night, our shawl looks almost just like it!

We were inspired by the surprising warm tone of the painting and the idea of a romantic evening under the stars. For your next big event or party or even for an evening of stargazing on a hill this shawl will be your best friend. With its unique wearable art qualities and its quirkiness you are sure to blaze as bright as a comet wherever you may go.

Welcome to the Packrat Life

Hi there, and welcome to Packrat Life. This goal of this blog is to post crafty ideas and tutorials for all of you crafty people out there. Like most crafters I find that I tend to collect random objects thinking "ohhh I will use this for some ultra-cool craft session later!" and then I keep it around for years. My crafting interests are varied and include sewing, jewelry making, drawing, painting, and just making things in general. So as you can guess I have a lot of random things just laying around. It is my new year's resolution to finally have these awesome craft sessions I have been dreaming about. Also in most cases the result of my crafting will go on etsy to be sold so make sure to check out my shop if you simply don't have time to make one yourself (or if you just really like mine). This is the only way I can afford to keep crafting! I look forward to having an awesome time and I hope you will to!
