This blog was late because I spent the day yesterday out of town, taking a mini vacation to visit some wonderful friends. It was a wonderful day, and I came home rejuvenated and ready to take on the world! I also came home tired, so I went to bed without posting this. Apologies to anyone who was hanging on the edge of their chair wanting to see what today's dress was!
Special thanks to Wendy and Moira for the peanut butter Cheerios I used to make this dress! I was born in the early 60's and so the fun clothes that rocked the fashion world during those years were seared into my formative brain. I loved the bold color blocking and the mod art-to-wear that made its debut on big eyed models like Twiggy! I have a design for a fun mini dress in a similar style to this one that I've always wanted to make for myself. It features an Easter Island head in profile taking up one side of the dress while the other side is blank. I tried to use these Cheerios to create that design, but I couldn't give the face enough definition to tell what it was. So I went for a minimalist design instead and used one of my favorite motifs: the zigzag. It worked out very well with the tri-colored dots. You shouldn't even have to ask, but yes, I would wear this dress!

Denise FeltI took this challenge in the hopes of expanding my creativity as an artist. Already I'm seeing art in a new light -- as something to do for fun and not just practicality! Archives
