Foshay jacket

2007is - a super old woman gave me this jacket. She said she bought it for a party when the Foshay was brand new and talked about how you could see the same design elements. Super cool, but super moldy. 

I didn't know what to do with it at the time so I packaged it up and put it in a "deal with it later" box. Since I done quit meh job, I'm forcing myself to deal with those boxes now. 

Good thing I spent some time working at a museum so I know the basics of preservation. I learned them while preparing a private showing of possibly the world largest collection of vintage electronic vibrators. The jacket was super gross. Still needs like 2 more baths, but I can finally touch it with out feeling itchy. 

Goals - 1. Make wearable. 2. Get invited to party at the Foshay Towers. 3. Wear jacket. ***aim for late fall/winter cause it is wool and will be warm.

Craft cart


I got this for $2.99 at a thrift store. I needed something on wheels that I could put my tools on and not care about ruinin it. But I came to like it so I pimped it out. The purpose is to contain the mess of a Craft project in a small area.
