Taking it very very far

week3


Japanese classes have taken over my life again. We are doing the subjunctive now and it is the most mind twisting way of making something simple very difficult. Today we spent the whole class stammering and forgetting particles and indicators.

And miss smartie pants here needed something quick and fun for this week's post on the TIF challenge. Went to my closet and although not my colorway, i had clothes in those colors so i could whip together an outfit. :) Is this taking it too further? All i can say to justify the exercise is that it opened my eyes to new combinations in my wardrobe. The beige is given by the shoes not the wall. That would have really been taking it way too far :)

Then feeling i really was taking the easy way out i sat down at the computer and worked with the colors creating a pattern for a printed fabric. At least in theory because i don't think it will ever materialize.
Well, now i have the weekend to translate last week's designs into fabric.

  3. I like the idea of the TIF outfit.
    Have you tried the French subjonctif? Wonder if it is easier than the Japanese one.:-) At school I've mastered it, but now, I don't think so.
