My own Project Runway

I love Project Runway...it's one of the best shows on TV. I'm also really getting into this DIY stuff and deconstruct/reconstructing clothing. So, I thought I'd give it a go. I went to a thrift shop and found this camo jacket that I think has real possibilities. I'm going to start off my simply adding some darts to the front and back just to give it some femine shaping, from there I will probably just start embellishing. I don't think there's anything I really want to 'deconstruct' on this jacket, unless I cut the sleeves to 3/4 length? Maybe. We'll shall see, but first...into the washing machine it goes!!!

Signs!

I've been working on a new project, simply called "Signs". It's going to be a greeting card series of street signs and the lessons we can learn from them. I am no poet, so I will be relying on friends and published authors for my quotes and poems. But, the photography is definitely mine! Here is a sneak peek at what is to come...hopefully by the end of August I will complete the project.

If a car passes me when I'm on a horse, I always think: if I were in that car and saw me, I would wish I was me. Wistful children's faces, staring out of the back window, agree.
- Monica Dickens

I can see the sign ahead,
it’s telling me to choose a new direction.
I cannot go the same road I’ve been on.
But which direction do I choose?

(you can read the rest of this poem when the card comes out)

Greeting Cards on Etsy

These are some recent additions to my etsy site, I have been crazy making new cards for etsy. I figure, if I don't start selling some of these...you know what you'll be getting for Christmas from me! LOL.
