Gen Art!

Field Research!

For finding perfect inspiration for fashion and/or the arts, don't forget to
visit http://www.genart.org/ My friend and I attended one of their fashion events and
saw an awesome fashion show and later attended a networking party and met
new designers and those at large.

There are also blogs galore there to peruse, screenings to see, jobs to fill, etc.

If you are thinking about being a designer, this is a great way to get started. Gen Art
wants to collaborate with new and up and coming designers. Zac Posen was just a newbie
when he first decided to investigate Gen Art! Take heart...

Just Playing!

The other night, I spread out magazines and looked and looked and looked. Something about
the visual nature of the photography never ceases to inspire me. I also clipped swatches of
color from older magazines. I made dresses out of paper also. I even want to design collages
of dresses.

By playing, we discover what truly inspires us. By relaxing, it focuses you in the direction
you want to go.

Try painting or designing to music or the silent gurgles of a fountain or pond.

Anything you consider play is game.

Stress seems to be the game of life nowadays, but what if we actually stopped and looked
and changed all that?

It's a point to ponder, but I figure everyone has to try it out, at least just once!
