Creative Thinking TuesDay....

Creative Thinking TuesDays!  Lets get to it!  Sometimes it is good to subtract...eliminate...size down, simplify...and in doing this it yields new ideas..Trim it down, get rid of excess, find the necessary funtion-spotlight a part, an idea that is quite simple, or a function that works in one area that can be transposed to another.  What if....Think multifunction....Hmmm..that is a useful concept.....I mean look at how many ways something can be used.....I love that idea.  What multifunctional idea do you have?

Inspiring Fashions...on the subject of minimalism

Inspirations in fashion on the subject of elimination...minimualsim...Eileen Fisher...the queen of minimalist modern fashion pieces..Simple yet creative in the way you make it your own.  I have several of her pieces and I love to adorn the jewelry I make on it, and then layer again with scarves...It just seems so elegant.
