Photography has taught me to look towards the simple things of my life..to look at smallest thing..to look with a different angle.
Press "F" if you like it.
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.
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...
It was clear out this afternoon so I decided to take a quick photowalk around the neighbourhood. This was one of the more interesting shots, I guess...

According to "Wikipedia" lady bugs feed on smaller insects like aphids and other pests~~so they are a gardeners "friend". Folklore says that if one lands on you it's considered "good luck"~~and killing them brings bad luck.
All I know is that I love their bold orange/red color, especially against green.

This is my version of the Burberry cropped a-line coat that retails for a whopping $850! I couldn't find an exact pattern to copy jacket, but with a little modifying of this pattern, I got a similar look.
Modifications:
* used view C & F
* reshaped the front bottom edge from rounded to square
* added faux welt pockets on the front seam line
* added a lining to the jacket
* interfaced all of the front sections
* mimicked the topstitching of the Burberry coat
* shortened a few inches more than the pattern (I reallly like the length of all of the Balenciaga jackets for this Fall).
I'm quite pleased with the way this jacket turned out and moreso with the cost - $47.91!
