The other day I decided to design a dress to wear for the upcoming wedding season (I've already got a few save-the-dates on my fridge!) and I found an amazing picture for inspiration.
Oh man. My style is pretty simplistic and while I greatly admire this designer's aesthetic, it's generally a bit out of my realm. But surprises are around every corner. Like this little number. And this headline: "Fashion Loses an Icon: Alexander McQueen Found Dead at Age 40."
I refuse to let this blog turn into 2010's death list. Instead, I wish to pay my respects to an amazing designer.
And look freakin' hot at these summer weddings.
XOXOXO

Hi fellow swap-botters,
Some people have let me know that my comments aren't working, but I can't figure out what the issue is. So if you have a problem commenting, make sure you send me a message on swap-bot so I can rate you!
Thanks,
Kristen
Hi Kristen,
I'm jaemac from swap-bot and I'm happily following you. I love your blog, it's so visually stimulating. You are so easy to read and you made me laugh several times, especially with the craft room redecoration... "I need a hardware store and a priest, stat!" LOL.
I have a hopefully helpful suggestion about the "problem" with having so many inspirations around you. I can SOOOOOO relate,lol. I found a blog that does a mosaic every Tuesday. Go here to Artmind (http://artmind-etcetera.blogspot.com/2010/02/flickr-favorites_16.html) and look at her mosaic. I find that winnowing down 7 days of pictures helps me see where I am trending every week. I get to see my unconscious artistic leanings, it REALLY helps.
Here's the mosaic link (http://bighugelabs.com/mosaic.php), I don't use flickr, I just collect images to a folder on my computer then I can upload them using Skitch (http://skitch.com/). I make my mosaic then add a border using this site (http://anymaking.com/photo-border-editor) and I'm done. I write a post around that mosaic and add that post link to Artmind.
A benefit is it also helps get your blog out to the artistic community. I have at least 4 weeks of mosaics if you want to see how they look. (www.justaddwatersilly.com) It was so fun reading you. I will be back because it was so enjoyable the first time. :o)
Best,
Jennifer (jaemac)
