White and Whimsical

I stumbled across the above photo of Milla Jojovich on This is Glamorous and fell in love. The little girl in me squeals with excitement when I think about going at an oversized canvas in a whimsical “dress-up” dress. A childhood dream come true? From the colorful doodling to the white feathered fringe, you bet it is.
The collage below gives a bit of a peek into my imagination. It took me some time to get it right, but I think this sums up my girlish fantisies quite well.  If I were to throw a party in honor of daydreams, this eclectic and ethereal mix may just do them justice.

White whites

That last snap of cold weather we had a week ago got me thinking about winter whites! ( I’ve totally skipped fall in my mind) And I stumbled on this photo of giant paper flowers from Carol Gearing’s blog. Giant paper flowers is project I’ve attempted many times but have yet to execute a solid result.
I love the white on white! All you see is texture!

Step right up

Who doesn’t love 3D? Silly question, because the answer is NOBODY. Especially when it’s a 3D illustration of some crazy flower that looks like it could simultaneously rip your head off and scream/sing about it.  
This poster from The Forge Shop ($10 w/ glasses) inspired me to pull together some items to create a theme that walks a fine line between whimsical and bizarre.  The font in the bottom left-hand corner of this design reminded me of a retro circus or carnival, so I’m going with garden party meets Coney Island sideshow– “Step right up to see our LIVE 10-foot dahlia belt out a hauntingly beautiful melody…”
