The Evolution of a Dream

A friend was telling me that she

Began journaling all of her

Dreams and then turning them into

Paintings

When she said that I thought,

"I should somehow figure out how to use my dreams to design"

Two days later another friend tells me

(Without knowledge of my conversation with my other friend)

That he was going to tell me his dream so that I could

Design a dress based off of it

Coincidence?

O_o

I dunno...

But I'm putting the idea to work

The dream went a little something like this:

"I was looking in the mirror when I saw a blackhead on my nose

I started squeezing it and it began to come out 

Like a vine

As it came out it became thicker and thicker with leaves

It was black

I was choking as it was coming out of my nose"

All I did was reread the the dream and

Then just kept it in my mind as I drew

I think I was trying too hard at the beginning

It felt forced and it looks forced

It doesn't look like something I would draw

But I continued because I had 

No clue what I was doing anyway :)

I thought I would try it with blue

Fail :(

The markers I used were bleeding and

It just wasn't working 

So I decided to change the design because

Long dresses aren't really my style anyway

I liked the second design a little bit more but it wasn't right

My drawing skills are limited as it is already

So trying to make something

Out of very little is a challenge

And so I changed the design a third time and

I love it!

I'm happy

I want to wear it

I would explain what part of the dream

Belongs to what part of the dress but

I'll let you come up with your own conclusions

;)

Email me your dream!

I'll turn it into a design

Yay!
