Do you ever feel like you are really busy, but when someone asks what you've been up to, you can't come up with anything, or if you do, you feel silly for saying you're so busy?
I have been working on getting ready for a photoshoot for a collection that I wanted to photograph last year. I'm glad I get to meet some other fashion-minded people in the raleigh area--I've got a great photographer and a promising makeup artist. Plus I'm trying to figure out how to use photo-emulsion screen printing without a dark room or an exposure table. I'll probably just end up using my closet as my dark room and building my own light table. That just takes a while and I feel like Veruca Salt--I want it now!
On top of that I've been sketching for my fall 2012 collection and it takes up 50% of my brain at any given moment. I am happy with it so far though, and happy to see how easy it is getting to find cool organic fabrics. Now if we can just get some eco-friendly zippers!
I'm doing all of this because I've decided to go to fashion weeks in the Southeast in March and April. Why wait and longer? I'll be putting up a Kickstarter project in October to fund the collection, and I'm applying to the Charleston Fashion Week Emerging Designer Competition (cross your fingers for me!). I'll also be heading to Charlotte, NC and Jacksonville, FL.
On another note, I saw the Flaming Lips at Raleigh's Hopscotch Festival last weekend. I think the best word to describe it is trippy--and fun! I'd like to be able to throw a party like that!
Yea, there is a person in there.
