Photo Shoot: Minnesota Red Dress

I went out to the lake with my friend Amelia over the fourth of July weekend, we were able to do a really fun photo shoot with the dress and wings! I'll keep this one short and just post the photos. :)

 

Beyonce Formation tour Shirts

Beyonce came to Minneapolis.  I am not one to go to big shows, but my friends and I call eachother #wearebeyonce. It came about going to a dance showcase. I had to go to the bathroom so bad, and my friends told me it was to the left.  Since rushing I ended up in the dancer only bathrooms.  When I came out there was a dance group huddled together I almost ignored it until i heard them say "we are beyonce!" It kept getting louder and louder. "We Are Beyonce, WE ARE BEYONCE! WE ARE BEYONCE!" I found great amusement in this ran back and told my friends immediately of the wonderful thing I saw.  When they came out to dance all their songs were Beyonce! That same week my friend changed our facebook chat group to #wearebeyonce. Since then we call eachother beyonces.  Such as "let me ask the beyonces about what is happening", "oh the beyonces are going here" I think you get the idea.
So when Beyonce's tour on sale of course I felt like I needed to go. 
Of course with this event I wanted to make tees.  I get it I should want to save up for a tour tee but I really wanted something customized. With lithographs and Stencils I loved how these shirts came out! A little faded and highs and lows I love the vintage feel with still being Beyonce appropriate.

MN Red Dress: Jillian Fialko

Hello Everyone! I am so excited to share, my newest adventure with you.  I was able to do the Minnesota Red Dress, it is a charity I feel strongly to support.  They do amazing research and help out so many family's! When I was asked to do the fashion show I was so excited to say YES! Since this is for an amazing cause I wanted it to be memorable, exciting and fun for everyone.  I have been to quite a few shows and as well done the work is I feel like sometimes I leave those shows talking about a few of the outfits later on.  My goal was to make sure people to wanted to talk about it as if it was the event of the season to remember the surprise to tell everyone about the fun event.  Thus making wings, adding her dog bacon and making a dress that suits both.

Of course this was over the top and Realia by Jen helped pull it together even more with her awesome jewelry! She had the most kick ass necklace! PS I'm linking her website, seriously click the decor section to be blown away!

Laura Schara was the model she has her own show on Kare 11 and of course her side kick bacon did so well!  She is such a motivated person it was an honor to work with her.  Especially me being my super awkward self.  At the end of the show Matt Dumba from the Minnesota Wild took my wings for the finale.  That improve was the best!  It was such a fun event, I hope you enjoy what I did!

Hello Everyone, hope you are ready to start off this next week.  I have a treat for you! I was asked recently to participate in Minneapolis's Red Dress Collection for the American Heart Association, yes those are wings. and yes I am excited to get started on this dress! This is done in markers and pencil.  I liked to go with a darker red color because the wings will be made out of balloon material called mylar. The dress itself will be a heavier jersey material.
