maybe some of you remember back in august when i had a crocheted flower project... it was for a toronto-based fashion designer (cindy mathieu, her line is called sodaliscious). i never posted photos because by the time i remembered that i hadn't done it (or maybe i did. i can't remember!), the our computer died.
this is what i sent out to canada:
approximately 90 flowers... most of them were the tiny pink, yellow and peach ones. there were quite a few bigger pink/peach variegated ones...
... and the black ones. oh, the black ones were a thorn in my side, because i had to start over several times and at one point, told cindy that if we still had someone else that was able and willing to take over the black ones, that would be optimum. lucky for me, she ended up having a pre-show photo shoot pushed back so that gave me more time to work on the buggers. they ended up being my favorites.
funny how that works...
*~*
so, i've been biding my time, waiting for the photos cindy promised she'd send me. i'd even forgotten all about it... until a few days ago. i shot her an email and today got a reply.
the photos are HERE!!!
the teeny tiny pink, yellow and peach flowers are on the back of this gown.
this one sports the pink/peach variegated flowers....
... and this one? well, the black flowers are on this one.

(not that i'd look THIS good in it, ever, but it's my favorite)
incidentally, this raspberry number is going to be featured in a holiday spread in "sharp" magazine (a fashion mag).
the black thorns in my side are really going places...

i know- seems unbelievable, right? i can hardly believe it myself. i'd never have dreamed that my work (my little, self-taught, unprofessional, totally-a-hobby dabblings) would ever wind up on the runway. ever.
crazy! oh, and i DO have photos from our weekend at mom and dad's... i will post them soon. it was a gorgeous weekend for photos, so once again, i took too many. like, 200.
