The Gestation Period…

Sometimes I get so caught up in other research and ramblings (and the Berlin Reunion), I have to remind myself to return to the fashion biz at hand here!   So today I’m bringing you the items currently in the “incubator” that have yet to “graduate” to the official class of Studio5.   Well here are some of the things being tweaked in Studio5 at the moment.  Last week I constructed these interesting little caps.  I’ve not named them yet,  I’ve just been referring to them as “what happens when SunRa, met Esther Williams and Josephine Baker”. …I like them!  After making the first one, these actually started triggering ALL KINDS of fun and obnoxious “swim cappish” ideas!  Yikes!

At first I just wasn’t quite sure, though I definitely liked something about them.  But now I reeeally like them. I think i’m ready to continue with the tweaking of the design …possibly adding a lining and increasing the length a bit more.

I’m excited about that flower on the head! You know, in the world of wEmusTgRoW, the flower is actually  “your antennae” of sorts.  I think these flowers are destined transmit some good vibes for some one! fuschia cap:creme flower w/black shimmery inlayblack cap, yellow flower green multi inlay

After posting them on facebook, my “dearest, loveliest, sister, partner in crime, artistic soul mate of a friend that I am unfortunately separated from by too many miles” sent me this pic for some added inspiration saying these reminded her of  this image she’d stumbled upon… As usual, she was right on time!  “Oooh…ahh.. oh!” And look, our eye make-up was even the same!   Love it!

All of that to say that today’s agenda will be focused on working out some kinks on these and photographing some other completed goodies.It’s quite snowy and cold today too. …I’m thinking that translates to the perfect weather for much productivity.  …Here’s hoping.
