Hello Friday!


Hello Everyone!

The surfing season is upon us in the NW and I can't wait to purchase a new surfboard.  I love a nose rider although I'm still not that comfortable walking around my board much to hang anything! I love to just cruise along on top of the wave and try to stay up.

 I'm really intrigued by all of the design choices out there. It's kinda hard to 

pick one. They are all so pretty!

A hardcore surfer wouldn't pick a girly style board but I would because I believe style and function go together well. And lets face it I'm a girl!

          I do however like this one because it's tye dye and just right for me don't you think?

                                          Have a happy weekend!

                                                                       Emerson Fry
                                                       Spring 2013


                                                                        

Emerson Fry was started by Emerson Bethany Fry in 2009 under the name Emersonmade. Since then her company has grown with leaps and bounds and it's easy to see why. Emerson started out as a painter and continued her education in fashion with select classes focusing on draping techniques, it's obvious she has pure natural talent in design. I'm really crushing on the navy blue and orange trimmed dress! It's tailored and fun like the rest of her pieces. I love stories of success like this one. Best of luck Bethany and keep bringing us good design.
                                                         Enjoy!

Hello Friday!


Those of you who know me know I'm space geek, I love the field of astrophysics. I like to contemplate space, time and creation and it something I have tried to incorporated into my work as a painter but Mihoko Ogaki does it much better. Sometimes you find that artist who can interpret feelings and ideas better than you can. Mihoko Ogaki is from Toride, Japan and has created a zen like intelligent world in her art about the cycles of life on a universal scale. I think it's really quite beautiful and eternal. I love that the human form is embodied in the Milky Way because really we're all made from star dust.  I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do. Tell me what you think?
                                                    Enjoy!

Hello Friday!


Hello Everyone,

I've been working on a pretty sundress in the studio the last few days. It's been a lot of fun creating this dress with folds and pleat work. I also spent some time doing a Shibori style of dye work on it and I love the way it turned out. Shibori is a Japanese style of Tye Dye using Indigo which includes stitching, binding, folding, capping and twisting. I really love the way it looks and you see it everywhere in the textile market. Here are some examples of the beautiful style of Shibori. Have a great weekend! 
                                                          Enjoy!
