Reader Talents
Everybody has their something. Me, I write. Some people paint, knit, program, water-ski, or speed read through every romance title released in any given year. All worthy and amazing talents, along with many, many unnamed others. I recently discovered a reader who blew my mind. She designs and sews.
As part of her final project in costume design and textiles at her university, she is designing and sewing costumes inspired by Jane Slayre– how cool is that? I find it exceptionally cool, of course. I get to see my characters come to life. Or at least, their clothes. I give her an A+ and hope she graduates with honors, but it’s not up to me.
Check her out: Lizzie Norris’s Blog.
Her ultimate goal, surprisingly, is not to thrill me to death and give me something to show off, but to start a career in the bridal industry designing wedding clothes. And best wishes to her! She does amazing work. Her character sketches (Jane Slayre in action, and St. John Rivers) and the beginning of her designs, plus details, below:
What’s your talent, hidden or otherwise? Hobby? What do you love to do?
