Daintiness.

So I have resolved to participate in this month's Art in the Square art fair at the new Town Square here in Vegas. Mind you, it'll be about 120 degrees outside on July 25th. But it's my last chance before I head out to Portland. It'll give me a chance to try out the prototypes I've been working on lately.

That up there is the business card I want to get printed. The colors won't pop out as much, the screen shows the RGB not CMYK. But it's still dainty, I believe. ^_^

I finished up these two clutches today. Oh my, I can't stop looking at the yellow one. It's so... sunshiny. Whenever I get my own apartment in Portland I will decorate with this kind of marigold yellow to brighten up those infamous dreary Pacific Northwest Winter days. Both clutches are made with beautiful silk, fantastic textures. The lace is also so wonderful. Already ran out of the thinner one, gonna have to call my mom to buy more for me.



At times, I can't wait for colder days just so I can proudly wear brooches. Though honestly, I never need an excuse to sport them. These, I heart very much. Made with ribbons, vintage buttons, various fabrics and yummy white wool felt. ^_^

*****************************

I know, I know, second time I post another of Feist's videos, but I am so in love with this girl. Her music enters me, swims through my bloodstream, plays my heart strings and the notes are my tears and my chuckles. This, The Buildup is a live version of her collaboration with the Kings of Convenience, yet another great band I discover thanks to her.

The buildup... lasted for days... lasted for weeks... lasted too long

Also, 28 days till Portland! and I haven't packed a single thing. I'm screwed.

Your colors on your business card DO pop. At least on my 'puter they do! It looks great!
Wear those brooches! They aren't seasonal!

Your business cards are awesome! And I love the yellow clutch as well (Im drawn to yellow too, its such a happy color!)

I love Kings of Convenience! I actually discoverd Feist thru them a few yrs ago, another good song they sing with her is Know How...check it out...sheer simplicity ;)

You asked me if I grew up in Colombia...no, I grew up in Florida surrounded by all the different accents you mentioned! haha but I go back when I can. I've only been to Cali where my parents are from, but Im dying to visit the other cities! What about you and Puerto Rico? My sister was there a few weeks ago and she loved it! I know I would too, hopefully Ill go next time.

Good luck with the move! I'm in the middle of packing as well...so much to do! :)
