an idea or thought that continually preoccupies a persons mind

this is a result of rainy days and walking the dog. this is also a result of double layering with my camera. this is my neighborhood in all its glory.

we feed your pride

“To my fellow swimmers: There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift, that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore, they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know that the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our heads above water. And I say see who is there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves, for the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves. Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we have been waiting for.” -Hopi Elders

Lu Magnus presentation of Six Emerging Designers for NEW FASHION

 

New Fashion is part of A Call To Arms series, the first series of events inspired by and in the spirit of happenings. A Call To Arms is a collaboration between Lu Magnus and Brooklyn-based Etta Place.

Congrats to gal pal knitwwear designer Jen Schwartz of Afterlife for a kick ass presentation consisting of  bladerunner meets medicine women in awesome knits.  Afterlife killed the show by expanding onto a higher level of Eco Friendly fashion that has yet to be met. Inspiration is everything and i was inspired for sure. Jewelry was supplied by local designer Katie Decker from I Was Made. 

My pictures do not do the Afterlife's knits total justice but they had inspired me to be creative and take some interesting photos of the night. 

vintage wallpaper obsession

out of boredom comes creation

some silly shit i have been working on to waste my time in the cold afternoons.

combos

just like rosemary crackers and pepper herb goat cheese these fabrics go together in an interesting fashion. i enjoy the deconstruction and reconstruction of putting things back together.  these are all from various different designers that for all intents and purposes are competing with each other.

Sass and Bide

ok, i am not an expert on photoshop skills but i know when i see textiles and fabrics i like.
i basically took the best elements from the sass and bide show and layered in a way that was way more appealing to me.
