I have a bit of eye-candy for you today from the book The Complete Fabric Artist's Workshop:
Exploring Techniques and Materials for Creating Fashion and Decor Items from Artfully Altered Fabric. It is four fabric art pieces by Tina Hughes. Not only is the fabric art lovely, but she is beyond clever with how she made hangers and weights out of all sorts of cool things like spools of thread, wire wrapping, donut-style washers, acorns, beads, bells and fiber pom poms.
