Yay Inspiration!

Seriously, so glad to have gone to Portland this weekend. It was a nice break from the normal routine, as was the reason for the visit: fashion. I'm working a fashion show and a photo shoot for a friend of mine, the lovely Katie Syme, makeup artist extraordinaire. I'm doing 4 garments for this shoot, one fab dress and a few seriously funked out shirts. Below are a few snapshots of textiles we fell in love with. Of course, you'll have to wait and see what they turn out to be sometime around the end of May. It's gonna flippin' rock.

Catching Up

I'm trying to play a serious game of catch up with life at the moment. I have a super busy summer coming up, and a ton of work to do between now and June. Everything from upcoming fashion shoots to attending the majority of 11 weddings of my friends this summer to trying to cram an hour a day into enjoying the beautiful spring weather Bend has been blessed with the past few days.

A couple of things for you to check out:

The World Relief NEXT team is in Africa, check out their blog, and the blog of Benjamin Edwards for stories and photos that will inspire you.

A new blog I'm starting up about my journey to Africa later this year is up and going. Right, because I need just one more thing on my to-do list. However, it'll be fun and interactive for you. :)

Keep your eyes peeled, I'm going to have some shots of my work for the fashion shoot sometime in June, and I'll try to get some pictures as I begin the creative process. I hope you'll enjoy following that as much as I'm going to love being creative in my own right this time around!
