How Do You Like Them Apples!
Wednesday, September 3, 2008
One of the Creative Challenges for EtsyRAIN has "Apples" as the inspiration. I normally don't get a lot of time to participate in these challenges as I'm usually busy getting ready for a show, filling an order, taking care of the kids... well, you get the idea. Creative Challenges are a challenge for me to fit into my schedule.
But I love them and I love the idea of them. I love seeing how many people can take the same idea and all come up with something completely different in all types of mediums. Not only that, but it's a way for me to help my fellow artisans promote their Etsy shops.
Anyhow, while on "vacation" I had to make a dress for my daughter to wear at our family reunion. I didn't intentionally set out to make an apple dress - but that's what I got! And I LOVE it! I'm so glad that it's hers and we get to keep it. It even has a matching bib (watch for those to show up in the store).
I was on a roll, so I decided to also tackle another Creative Challenge - "Sci-Fi". I made a really cute Yoda dress - but I was playing around with putting in sleeves and I wasn't 100% happy with it. I'll be trying another one... but in the meantime, check out the fun apple dress! Oh, and my daughter loves her apple dress... just not as much as her Manny dress (she loves Ice Age and I made her a dress with the characters on it - it's cute)!
I'm still working on getting the stores up (okay, I'm working on motivating myself to get the stores back up). I hope by the weekend I'll be back in business!
