D is for Darkroom

Two nights ago I spent about four hours in my school’s darkroom developing and printing my latest roll of film. I think I might be addicted.

While I’ve always loved and enjoyed photography – it’s now become more fulfilling, more creative and more addictive than ever before.

I’m improving with each shot I take – and that’s all I can hope for!

However, the point of this post is that I love the darkroom and after some very enthusiastic discussion; Mom & I are planning to set one up for me when I get home next year.

I wonder if I can get him to come with it?

Till then though, these images and the darkroom here at school will keep me excited and fulfilled.

M is for Magazine Shelf

Ok, so you know how every family and every second hand store has a collection of National Geographics?

Well, there’s finally a purpose for them!!! This colorful shelf is designed by Sean Miller. As soon as I figure out how the hell he managed to make it, I’m making me one of these!!

{PS: Tickled Green Week continues till Sunday, and Monday – a new week starts!}

S is for Shirtdress DIY.

So, in last month’s Elle I saw a white shirtdress which sparked off a series of thought and creativity…I know that you know exactly what I mean. That moment when you see something and immediately think, “Hmmm, I could make that!” and can do nothing for the next few hours except think of how to make it.

So, here we go; 100% vintage therefore 100% recycled and 100% DIY

Step 1: Find vintage shirt.

Step 2: Look around for matching vintage fabric.
(and by matching, try to find colours that match, but if you’re lucky, fabric that matches too)

Step 3: Gather skirt and attach to top

Step 4: Practice your new I-made-it-myself smile when people ask where you got your dress
