[h-cost] Victorian Embellishments exhibit
The University of New Hampshire has an exhibit - Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail http://www.izaak.unh.edu/museum/index.htm The picture on the page *rotates*, so you can see every detail of this incredible, asymetrical gown...

Re: [h-cost] Victorian Embellishments exhibit
Nice eye candy! Went to the publisher's website. It's all about digital publication through them. No info on how to buy an actual book. Baffling. == Marjorie Wilser (wrong side of the continent) =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= http://3toad.blogspot.com/ Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW On Jan 28, 2013, at 7:51 AM, Anne Murphy wrote: The University of New Hampshire has an exhibit - Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail http://www.izaak.unh.edu/museum/index.htm The picture on the page *rotates*, so you can see every detail of this incredible, asymetrical gown...

[h-cost] University of NH exhibit
The nice rotating costume just posted (sorry, I nuked the original email), I found out, is the only thing currently available. I clicked on the weblink and got a nice answer from the guest curator. The book's purported publisher reneged, so they're shopping for another publisher. Book is not out yet, but she's adding names to a list for people interested. I think it will be worth the wait. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= http://3toad.blogspot.com/ Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] University of NH exhibit
Hi everyone-- I am subscribed to h-cost but have not been able to actually participate or even lurk for a long time, so when Marjorie wrote to the museum at which the exhibition I curated, Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail, is currently showing I confess I had a total DOH!! moment. I should have let you all know about it when it first opened! But the show is up through March 23 and as she wrote on my behalf, there will, at some point this year, be a book related to the project. The book will be a blend of coffee table book and how-to guide for making the kinds of embellishments on view. I will be posting a link later this week to an overview of the exhibition, not just the one rotating dress currently on the official museum web site. But in the meantime, here are some teasers, I hope they post. And if any of you are in the Durham, NH vicinity, I hope you come see the show!

Re: [h-cost] University of NH exhibit
Astrida, the book sounds fantastic. Good luck finding a publisher, and please let us know when it'll be out? Claudine (wishing I could just pop over to Durham, but sadly, it's a little too far.)
