BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

So a while back I had mentioned a "big announcement..."
Through time, our wedding, this blog and my wonderful followers' words I have learned what I am best at: design. I cannot say I will only design weddings, I'm very domestic and love home design, too. But the proportionately overwhelming stats on my dress design posts from you guys show me that the next step I need to take is...

Pinterest!

This is the thief of my time spent blogging. But it's fun!

I am using Pinterest to collect ideas for my cousin's wedding if she decides to have one in the next year. I have several others that I am working on with my other designs along with some of our wedding photos!

Jeannie Gold - 3: Colored Shadows

This week I am inspired by colored shadows.

No, not the museum exhibit! Actual shadows that have color to them from light casting through a translucent/transparent pigmented object!

I caught a glance of my heart sunglasses in my shadow last week and have been in love with translucent colored films since.

I have found some mod-comme-80's inspiration with contemporary artis Martin Neuhaus. He makes lamps from retro plastic neon-colored cups.

So this is what the Jeannie Gold for next week will center around: neon, hearts, + 80's. I'll see if I can't design another gown to go with this.

And NO it will not be similar to the November Rain video's gown. lolz.

Did you just have a flashback, momma?

This is my own creation. Upon repeatedly drawing it out I came to realize my subconscious sources of inspiration:
¤My bloggy gal pal Kim's wedding dress shape
¤princess lasertron's recent rosette ribbon 1st birthday for her daughter Alice
¤Ava, my pink and gray kitty cat

Stay tuned for a dress-inspired Jeannie Gold series!

Jeannie Gold - 1: Pine Cone and Roses Wedding ~Fantasy Bride~

If I were designing this wedding for the perfect client for me, she would either be making this dress, finding someone who could, or would be at least pining daily for a dress which emulates this Oscar de La Renta 2009 creation.

I have never seen this combonation of emerald and raspberry pink! I am so in love; I wish this was a real wedding that I was invited to! This is seriously THE perfect dress for my Pine Cone + Roses wedding. I also found a fun necklace the kiddo's could make themselves!
