bubble, burst

it is wedding season at the minute and my third was this week. i felt adventurous and decided to make a statement head-piece = an origami cube, made out of beautiful paper (in a colour, complementing my homemade dress) and placed, nestling in my hair.

stood outside the church waiting to go in, a tramp inquired as to why i had a cardboard box on my head. yep. i know what you're thinking, he probably fancied it for himself but that just totally killed it for me. hilarious. i guess the origami swan medallion i made will have to wait...

so today, catching up on some of my favourite blogs, i saw these images from LAMagazine of a shoot by Billy Kidd (full spread here - http://www.lagmagazine.com/beauty/editorial.php?uid=nWqKCt7i58nq7X1pr4G0) on susie bubble's http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/. beautiful, and totally the look i was going for, although perhaps not so full-on.

also, interestingly, spotted these paper shoes on another favourite, http://www.highsnobette.com/ of work by ndeur, (http://ndeur.wordpress.com/), a leg of the le creativ sweatshop, as part of 'ndeur + make a paper world'. good good stuff.

the use of a material out of it's usual and in an unexpected form is always fascinating. and of course, shoes just make my day. more on this juxtaposition, i promise.
