futuristic fashion resources.

Gathering thoughts and ideas about the look and feel for Synergy this year. I am looking at Ritsuko Shirahama and Motonari Ono from Tokyo Fashion Week S/S 2009.

I love the hair, make up, clean feel and colour from Shirahama and the floating runway of Ono.

on the other side!

the package, in progress.

Now that Justin's Valentine package has been finished and safely delivered in Japan I can post these in progress photos. This was the best package I ever sent: an orange sketchbook, a green sketch book, 2 screen prints over old found prints, a t-shirt, mini cheese grater, hand made tea bags, hand made chocolates, 2 mini stuffed animals. It was quite fabulous!

little birdies

on this hat that my very wonderful friend ange gave me. it feels pretty fabulous to wear. also pretty fabulous is getting finely decorated mail with adorable friends on it! its always a surprise!

tea time.

For our last class we made tea bags and scones! we bought loose tea from The Victorian Tea House on Elkton Road. We bought Afternoon Darjeeling (black tea), Green Gunpowder, and Orange Mango White tea. They were beautiful. It was fun to experiment with different fabrics and design of the bags. Afterward, we had a delicious tea party!

bookmaking.

we made books in class recently. we made a hardcover book from scratch and then some soft back books from different paper scraps I had from the semester! it was a lot of fun and they came out well! It was my first time backing my own book cloth so at times things got a little messy. but overall i have love for my slightly wrinkled pretty little journal! I used an Urban Outfitters catalog cover as the paper backing.

hey guess what...?

I'M GOING TO JAPAN FOR SPRING BREAK!!!
