While not directly craft related, but I found this talk very inspirational. Erin McKean is chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary; she uses beautiful metaphors to express her philosophy on life’s research, technology, and her passion for words. – Link.
I love this talk, and I love her DRESS! Thanks for posting this!
Yeah, this is one of the better talks they’ve posted.
Great talk. Plus, admit it, you were totally reverse-engineering that dress the whole time.
P.S. I could watch TED talks all day.
The crafty link is that I would bet a fair amount of money that Erin made that dress. In fact, unless I’m mistaken, it’s one in many of a series of her Duro-inspired dresses.
