Amen! I love this altar.
I couldn't resist this poster by Casey Brooks. It's the 4th of November and America, the whole world is watching ...
The broke-ass bride summed it up pretty well.
"If we just pledge allegiance to the only candidate with a vagina, regardless of her competency or values, we risk everything. Because when she fails miserably, and she will, it will only solidify for all the rest of the world that we aren't ready for a woman leader. We must be patient, and wait for the right woman. Trust me.... this one ain't it. "

It's tiring going to bridal boutiques (just been to 3 so far, and am sick of the whole works already) and walking out less than impressed. Many times, I am so tempted to just get a 'normal' dress, but that's so saaaaaaaaaaaad. You know I stumbled on a $10, 000 wedding and am just awed by the brilliance of a featured blogger guest, Kimi. B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-C-E. She deserves to be worshipped. Ok I'l stop ranting, but you'll really see how wonderful she is. Kimi got a $65 (US Dollars) white dress from Target and transformed it into a work of art that is truly hers and hers alone. I'm so inspired by how far any bride can go with just a little creativity. Unfortunately, DIY just doesn't seem to work in Sing, at least its not too common, but that's not gonna deter me from givin' it a little thought. Now, drool away!
I managed to take a look at Kimi's flickr set (where all the above pics come from) and found out how she did it.
"I cut out all the leaves/vines/critters/words separately from this rubber-backed velvet I found in the basement of a fabric store, then hot-glued it all onto the dress. Many weeks and blisters later, voila. Lots of people thought it was from one piece, but I tried that out and gave up that idea waaaaaay early. I just glued them right next to each other or slightly overlapped. I put down vine lines first in a way I thought looked graphically good, then basically sat down on the dress with a pile of cutout leaves next to me and glued each one on. It wasn't too planned out, the only thing I really planned out was where the vines went, to make a basic structure. But there's lots of other things you can try if that sounds too complicated! I also wanted to do ribbons of almost the same color, with leaves sewn on, like vines coming off the dress rather than right on it. And silk flowers!! 3D! Now I want to make another dress."
A flickr group {On a Wednesday} was form in honour of mid-week {today!} and I discovered amazing contributions of poeira da estrada to this set. I love the feel of these photographs
1. wednesday {58} amélie is named after one of my favorite movie character - amelie of montmarte. besides, who would turn down a picture of rasberries like that! How cute. 2. wednesday { 1 } is just simple. i love the shadows. 3. wednesday {33} birthday cake has a silhouette of a doily. doilies were a big part of my childhood. my mom used to place them just about everywhere. 4. wednesday {52} sweet kisses are sweets called "beijinhos" (kisses) in portuguese according to poeira da estrada. we have something like that in singapore - little round biscuits topped with a colored swirl of sugar. they come in yellow, pink, white, green. {nostalgic}.
