It is amazing how fast this Summer is flying along! Today is the inaugural post of What to Wear Wednesday. The idea for this is inspired by Polyvore - if you have not heard of this, think of it as a Pinterest for fashion and decor. To be honest I am still learning my way, but I love being able to match up items that we make with different items that I could see them being used for or worn with.
This visualization is such a fundamental part of my personal process. From a piece of scrap metal that needs to be a base for a table top that will tie someone's room together to imagining how a pair of earrings will complete a total stranger's outfit.
So I am hoping to make this a weekly post. I plan to only include other items that are handmade, with the possibility of some vintage where appropriate.
Just in time to celebrate the United States' birthday, here we go!
