AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT WOULD MAKE THIS BIRTHDAY SPECIAL FOR ME, I CAME UP WITH SOME NOTES ABOUT SOME IDEAS FOR MY BIRTHDAY TEA.
I SAW THIS AMAZING TEE-SHIRT WITH THE LIKENESS OF OUR FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA, ON IT FOR SELL ON 14TH STREET AND UNION SQUARE IN NEW YORK CITY,
THIS TEE SHIRT REALLY GOT MY CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING, AS FAR AS ECONOMIC STIMULATION, ARTIST, THE WORK PLACE, KNEEDLE ARTS ETC. ETC.
I AM GOING TO CREAT A SERIES OF FUNKY CROCHET BUSINESS POWER SUITS, FOR POWER DRESSING.
THESE SUITS ARE GOING TO BE WORN WITH DIFFERENT ULTRA-COOL TEE SHIRTS THAT I MAKE OR BUY FROM OTHER ARTIST, THESE POWER TEE-SHIRTS HAVE TO HAVE A SPIRITED PROGRESSIVE MESSAGE, LIKE THIS ONE HERE OF OUR FIRST LADY.
I AM GOING TO USE COCO CHANEL AS A POINT OF INSPIRATION, BECAUSE OF HOW SHE PUT GLAMORE INTO POWER DRESSING.
I AM GOING TO CREAT SOME CATHEDRAL LENGTH NECK PIECE, WITH DARK PEARLS, DARK CRYSTALS AND CROCHET JUJU BEADS THT I MAKE.
I AM GOING TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE FUNKY CROCHET POWER SUIT, FOR THE SERIOUS, ON THE MOVE BUSINESS WOMAN.
LIKE THIS PHOTO OF THE "FORCE" COCO CHANEL, STEPPING OUT, ON A MISSION IN HER FABULOUS CREATIONS THAT SPEAK VOLUMES FOR WHO EVER IS WEARING THEM,
THIS WOMAN WAS AND STILL IS A REAL POWERFUL CREATIVE BEING.
PEARL CHIN, THE OWNER OF KNITTY CITY, HAS A BUNCH OF OLD MAGAZINES FOR SELL FOR $1.00, THAT SHE HAS IN THE STORE, OF CROCHET AND KNIT PATTERNS, FROM BACK IN THE DAY. SO I AM GOING TO BE FLIPPING THROUGH THEM FOR IDEAS FOR MY SUITS.
POWER DRESSING WITH A MYSTIC. I LOVE THIS COLLECTION OF LOOKS.
NICE,.. SIMPLE,... I CAN FUNK SOMETHING LIKE THIS UP A LITTLE , TO PUT A LITTLE MORE OF MY FLAVA IN THIS SUIT.
THE REAL CREATIVITY HAPPENS IN THE FITTING, THIS IS WHEN I REALLY START DREAM CASTING FOR THE POWER SUIT TO COME ALIVE AND ROCK MY WORLD.
THIS IS WHEN I START WORKING MY MOJO!!.
I STARTED COLLECTING SECOND HAND BARBIE DOLLS LAST YEAR FOR THIS POWER DRESSING PROJECT. I PLAN TO DESIGN A SERIES OF CROCHET POWER SUITS FOR THESE BARBIES DOLLS FOR MY PROTOTYPES.
I AM SURE THE FINISHED POWER SUITS WILL NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE PROTOTYPES THAT I CREAT, BUT THIS WILL BE A REALLY GOOD EXCERCISE ANYWAY.
I WILL EXHIBIT THE FINISHED SECOND HAND BARBIES IN THEIR POWER SUIT IN MY TRAVELING EXHIBIT (RE) POSSESSED IN THE FUTURE.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF USING THE BARBIE DOLL AS A MINITURE DRESS MANNIQUINE BECAUSE SHE IS SO SMALL, I CAN DESIGN AND RE-DESIGN, QUICK, LIKE I AM SKETCHING IN 3D.
COCO CHANEL REALLY KNEWS HOW TO WORK HER STUFF!!!
THIS IS A IMAGE OF COCO CHANELS APARTMENT IN PARIS, WITH A MODEL WEARING ONE OF HER SUITS AMONG COCO CHANELS CHERISHED BOOKS.
SO EVERY ONE, COME HELP ME CELEBRATE ANOTHER CREATIVE YEAR AND BE READY TO COME FLIP THROUGH THE BOOKS, OLD AND NEW MAGAZINES, SIP TEA, TALK, DREAM, LOOK AT YARN AND HAVE FUN PLAYING WITH THE IDEAS OF POWER DRESSING AND ECONOMIC STIMULATION THROUGH THE ARTS.
WHO KNOWS... I MAY TURN THIS LITTLE BIRTHDAY PROJECT INTO A CROCHET POWER SUIT WORKSHOP SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE....
POWER DRESSING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY..
