These patriarchs


Look Pa!

I grew.
My friends live in beautiful neighborhoods.

Life is brief, but when it's gone
love goes on and on...

Your love is my drug AND pillowcase dresses

*(Ignore the scary eyes in the second picture)

The most tiring week/weekend ever has passed.
Too bad that there is no rest from this madness until June!
For my English class, we're doing a Transcendentalism project, and for a part of mine, I'm going to make clothes out of old materials, such as a pillowcase, t-shirt, feedsack, etc. (I would explain how dressmaking relates to Thoreau, but that is another story for another time.) As you can see, I made a pillowcase dress. Originally I tried looking up dress patterns for pillowcases but they were all a little childish. I didn't like the sleeves on any of the dresses I found. So, inspired by the Sassy version, I've made the sleeves flutter-like, which I think looks more whimsical.
No SEW!
Just cutting and acessorizing.
Oh! And next time I'll post the bikini I made from an old tshirt.

You've got me wrapped around your little finger...
An Education was such a wonderful movie.
Carey Mulligan is superb.

Roaming

"roam if you want to
roam around the world
roam if you want to
without anything but the love we feel "

I am tired, but I still need to move.

Young Goodman Brown

Lately I've been having a renewed appreciation for the color brown.
P.S. Never go hopping around barefooted on asphalt.
Quite painful.

Pictures.

Things that I like nowadays:
1. Tiny soft sweaters (Zanita blog)
2. Brown with black, bikes, men's shirts... just about everything in that picture. (unknown)
3. Familiar but intriguing tattoos... anyone have any idea what that tattoo symbolizes?
I've seen it before on a postcard at an art museum, and it was interesting to find it online again.
