Walking around Amber Fort in Jaipur India I couldn't believe what a great shot this was. She was just setting there resting. I was so afraid she'd move or see me, that I stopped in my tracks and took the picture without looking at any settings. I love the simplicity, the colors, the fact that you can't see her face and the "echos" of the triangles.
I read on someones blog, that someone else was doing a ZT "simplicity" challenge on their blog...so here is my "simplicity", not so sure it is entangle though.
No belt

For the Simplicity 1880 2-in-1 Sewalong

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.
MM Theme: Simplicity.
Trying to capture falling feathers - not very simple! The quote is apt.
Note to self: Think of something more simple next time!

Ps: sorry for dumping in early (officaly 39 mins). I'm away for a few days.
This was from our first night in WA. The beach was just couple of minutes walk from the Coogee holiday park we were staying that night.
We were just sitting on the beach, enjoying the first sunset in the west, occasionaly clicking the button on our cameras
I wish I could go back .-)
Sorry to the folks that are sick of seeing my mug!! I am the cheapest model I can find.. and the most obedient..
Simplicity if the ultimate form of sophistication.

This image is for Kim Klassen's Be Still 52 Week 4. Kim introduced us to the concept of wabi sabi, which I'd never heard of before. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. I chose to photograph these orchid blooms for a touch of the oriental influence in a soft simplistic manner to express one of the characteristics of wabi sabi. I have a new-found and great appreciation for wabi sabi.
Basically, to create this set, i took the brilliant mentality from lotus that is "simplify, then add lightness", and tried to create a set based around this idea. I took a simple blue, completely cloudless (and might i say simple) sky, and simple sweeping angles. Hope you enjoy!
This is the second version of this dress I have made - this one is made with fabric bought at Scarborough Sewing Centre and it's called Brooklyn Heights and is designed by Kitty Yoshida. Scarborough sewing centre sell a range of quilting cottons but this is a lighter cotton more suited to dressmaking.
I'm wearing the dress with grey tights (to match the weather!) and Irregular Choice shoes.
This is the first Simplicity 2591 dress I made (I made another which will probably appear later in the month). I made it with Michael Miller Marcia fabric, and it is View D of the pattern.
It was rainy and cold today, so I'm wearing the dress with brown tights, an old brown cardigan from Debenhams (with pretty multicoloured buttons!), a bright pink flower necklace, my Nica handbag and my hot pink cowboy boots from America! You can't see too clearly in the picture, but the centres of the flowers are hot pink, which is why I chose to accessorise with pink.
I originally blogged about this dress here: threadcarefully.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/tabathas-april-c...
from the free pattern offer in Adorn! i shortened it a bit, and used contrasting fabric for the patch pockets. it is very comfy, though a bit roomier in the back than necessary (I'd cut down the bodice back by at least an inch if I did it again). i want to try the jacket pattern from the envelope next...
