Genie In A Bottle.

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I think I spent more time and energy in planning my sister’s bridal shower than some people put into planning their own weddings. Yah. I was SO excited my big sister was getting married, this was the first thing I couldn’t wait to do for her. She didn’t really have a choice @ the theme though. Yah. I told her it was going to be Arabian Nights…

“you cool with that?”
“ok”
“perff…I’m gonna make you look like Jasmine!”
“ok, but I’m not even engaged.”
“so.”
Yup, that’s pretty much what happened.

Pink & Green…and Stuff In Between

Monday, April 5th, 2010

So I’m totally back tracking, but I thought I’d start from the beginning. Paper | Daydream actually started with my sister’s wedding. So in throwing her a bridal shower & Mehndi, I decided I should put all this energy and passion into something substantial.

I thought I’d share a few pics from her mehndi…mind you, this was 2007. I wanted something different for my sister’s entrance – and since it was just at our house…I thought a painting would be kinda traditional and modern too. I wanted it to look like henna/mehndi designs – so I painted on transparent acrylic light panels so that I could project pink and green floor lights from behind. I carried this theme for a backdrop behind her stage. I think it came out ok. In retrospect, I wish I used a stencil instead of my freehand mess!
