| PARIS SEWED UP - Digital Collage |
Ah...Paris in the Springtime. And Spring is such a dreamy season. It is when we finally are able to shake off this icy Winter weather. It won't be long before the season of warm sweet breezes caresses us. I am ever hopeful.
The next challenge for the Lunagirl Moonbeam Design Team is "Sewing". I do appreciate the talent of anyone who can sew. Although my Mom is an excellent seamstress, it was a skill I never mastered.
When looking through the beautiful Lunagirl images, the woman with the wistful smile appealed to me. When I think about sewing, this is how I feel. As I hope for Spring, I am ever hopeful that someday I will go beyond my very skillful button replacement sewing and hem stitching upping. So when I think of sewing my thoughts run to Fashion and Fashion comes home to Paris.
I wanted the woman to take center stage in the work. From my own digital ephemera collection I started the piece with a postcard of the Eiffel Tower with postage stamp. I added pattern paper complete with directions. And a dream isn't a dream unless you have a limitless sky surrounding you. I finished the collage with the joyfully optimistic yellow roses...perhaps a symbol of her future in Fashion Design!
I guess my sewing dreams, like thoughts of Spring, will continue. Is there a skill you are ever hopefully wanting to master?
