When Dreams Come - Loovus Dzevavor at The Couturier's Docks, Belod and New Gifts from Chop Zuey

Dreams come and go, but hopefully you have the chance to grasp hold of them, hold on to them, treasure them... as you go by this wild and crazy life. Each time a door closes, another door opens.

I find that to be true in my world off line and in this world I share with you, a virtual world that's come to be my heart and hope and in many ways my salvation. It's not all that melodramatic, but it is sincere. Every time I sit with my laptop on my lap and work on a project for this or that, or style a new outfit from somewhere, I'm happily distracted, and it's a much healthier drug than those I've taken in the past to overcome the pain that accompanies kidney disease. So you see, each of you, and every letter I type and color I paint does in some special way save me from the day's angst. It is why every single time I write a blog or share something here or other social media, I say a special thank you to each of you for touching my world, enhancing it, and making it so much better.

I sent Ms. Vikeejeah a thank you from the bottom of my heart when she shared this month's Couturier's Docks item from Loovus Dzevavor. A limited number of these items are sold from a variety of designers. It's imperative you go early and grab what you love before they're gone. This coat is called the Chase Coat in Almond. It gave me that bundled up with love feeling, warm and ready to go. I paired two of Chop Zuey's special festivity of gifting items, The Little Snowgirl Earrings and Anchor Of My Soul Necklace and a pair of heels from Belod that offer the option of wearing tights with or not wearing them. I chose the wearing tights option for my photo. I loved styling something from Loovus Dzevavor and can't thank Ms. Belle at Chop Zuey enough for all her gifts this holiday. Wow. Life is beautiful.

Autumn Winds Are Blowing - Featuring [Sympatica] and !Lyrical B!zarre Templates from The Instruments; Hair Day and Blacklace from 24 Squared

The second set of photos I created yesterday begin with a really unique look from Lyrical B!zarre Templates. I continue to talk about how incredibly creative Lyrical Bizarre really is and then she just goes another step further with creativity.

In the photo that shows my dress all the way down to the ankles, you'll see traveling vines done in the most beautiful of autumn coloring, and it's part of the dress! There's also a neck/chest option that adds leaves around the face, but I saved that for another time so I could also showcase other items from The Instruments. Earrings from [Sympatica] also come from The Instruments.

But there's more to share! 24 Squared is in progress and the hair from Hair Day called Heather has a basic color HUD and then offers a flower and veil option as well, each also on a color choice HUD so you can mix and match to your delight. .:JUMO:. provided the jewelry, another color stone from among so many items they submitted to this event. Belinda from Blacklace includes these wedge heels, and may be found, along with other items from Blacklace, also at 24 Squared.

I was inspired by Wicca Merlin's Flickr tonight. I actually had my computer turned so my sweetheart could see her photos from where he was sitting and for a few minutes he stopped watching football so he could do so.

I edited this one in a paint program, to see what I could do with it, to edit it to a point where it was beyond a photo and bordering on art. I think it takes time and loads of practice. I just enjoy it!

This was the original photo, so you can see where and how I edited. I see so many photos on Flickr, not just Wicca's, that look like someone used oil paints or very real art supplies to make their photos.

I pushed the edge of sensuality to the very limit. I didn't want to show everything, yet I wanted to only show the jewelry and accessories. I think it would be a little more difficult to do so at a show, but in photos, it's fun to try.

With a great bag, while standing still, I cover the bits that need the most coverage. From head to toe, I played with items, modifying them, making some glow, coloring others, till I got to this final stage. I hope you enjoy!

Live! Laugh! Love!
