Always trust

 your instincts when it comes to be creative, Iris your Art versus theirs,

And two Center fronts it is is, on a front fly serving both lefties of righties, they all deserve a center front, indicating the button placement for opening,

And just like this amazing sunset last night, your Art and craftfulness cannot not be replicated, imitated, or bottled, they just splash and amazing,

A cycle of Water

 clean water, sea water, free of plastic, an endeavour started for the well loved, well enjoyed, well travelled, well polluted, Mediterranean in Spain, by a company discovered through the usage of their yarn in more to enjoy water pursuits... a cycle and circle of water, to love and look after

LifelongLearning

 For 2024 enjoying new ways to express creativity by travelling within to bring out hidden gems

“Pattern is Gold”

 As seen and expressed by T. our serendipity friend met around the CreativeTable at the Tottenham Library 

... reviewing second toiles for factory sampling and production by a new mum with baby and pram enjoying the show too, 

honing her design skills since meeting up at 16 in the Bruce Grove Yourh Center turn Creative Studio4 at the BroadwaterFarm frontline for 8 years, 

with long breaks creating her own career and family, never forgetting her desire to drive as a fashion designer

... working on development ideas and online presence, name searching, sourcing, “specing” (tech jargon for putting garment into final blueprint), sketching, translating: 

... the way to go to discover the inner potential for creativeness, to be shared around the Globe, 

Vietnam, Myanmar, India, Bangladesh, Djibouti, LA, Boston, Paris, London... Wales, Scotland, Svalbard...

Search. Explore. Discover. Spread, 

... the Gold of Pattern Cutting, as T. put it with admiration, having pursued the way to create garments himself in Trinidad,

giving the power to create, 

cutting in 2D paper shapes soon to be reunited in 3D wearable creative shapes...

A passion well shared, well loved, well captured   🌏☀️🌍🌟🌎⭐️

Avatar Verse Fashion Arts Attribution

 For the Metaversed, D2As and NFTs are second nature, 

For those interested in making a better creative world, it can be comforting to discover a few key principles are still valid and more in demand than ever, 

in the world for Fashion Arts,

where moving towards global open-source "craftmanship" involves Art Attribution and Integration, 

in a way which reality fashion "creators" are not always able to emulate

Googling Fashion Avatar for tennis, a whole new literature popped up, 

including high end fashion games involving purchases where a virtual Gucci hand bag can cost more then a real one... going for 350,000 Robux

Iconic Plisse, IP, also stands for Intellectual Property, reminding ourselves of a dress which, made with beautiful Soleil plisse, SunRays Pleating technique, a dress which went to a secret buyer for 5M dollars, for being worn by an iconic woman who actually created the moment which created the dress, which cannot be traced back to the original designer... looping back to questions of Art creators and Ideas generation identification, attribution, protection:

one other case of unrequited love is the famous Chanel Chain usage on handbags:

 if Art Attribution is becoming such a big deal in virtual life, why don't all Brands copying Chanel signature chain render laurels to the Idea originator, to show the world Art has value, and start a Foundation for orphans of the world, say everytime they use a chain on a handbag, metaversing a percentage of profits, to honour Chanel's roots of creativeness shaped while growing up in an orphelinat where she learnt how to sew.

this way passing on important skills to the next generation lacking the parental guidance those using Avatar at leisure would have, bridging the gaps, preserving ancient crafts integration into more caring societies, not more money oriented pitfalls

with 50 million people spending hours playing... creating, integrating... new avatars on just one platform,

it is reassuring we can still link both reality and virtual Art fashion into concrete verse 

Base = body shape template

Integrated Fashion = Brand Collaboration

 

Attribution = Intellectual Property

Soleil Plisse

 Glorious sunshine soleil , a step into timeless motionless stillness at Kiri’s workshop Atelier, where he crafts magnificent plisse creations...

3 meters of tartan reduced into a tiny bundle of pleats... Sun pleats

One step ahead, while kilt makers press every pleat by hand,

Pleaters carve the template they need for a particular job, and place the right amount of fabric into two layers of stiff paper they create themselves to order, place in oven, and let the steam do its job, some use chemicals, but Kiri’s method is totally natural, like his love and knowledge for plants

When, at 10:15 this morning I called him to know if he was open, he said he could do it by Tuesday, but he added, if you need to pick up your fabric, overlock and pin hem, you won t be able to make it, 

I said see you at 12, and there I was, picking up cloth from Philip Lane Somalian lovely man inbetween Friday payers, Cycled home,  cut , overlooked and hemmed, by 12 I was there, with Kiri already pleating Sunshine Pleats for another designer, he kindly inserted the tartan in, and after a short trip to local Sainsbury came back to find the cloth Soleilpleated...

Wonderful

Especially at the dawn of a special day to celebrate 

So it

 is my third positive test, 

and am regaining life values from masterful sources to discovery of 

 beauty, synchronicity and sense 

Another beautiful sunny day to enjoy from inside, where all our treasures reside.

Sunshine Ladder

 while all this is going on and a second test positive today, what most therapeutic way to spend the afternoon painting the old tired ladder bright Sunshine....
