One of my favorite artists is Miranda July and she perfectly exemplifies both qualities, exquisitely.
I have decided that along with my
New Year's Resolutions;
-donating money to keep Beverly Exercise on the air
-strive to eat organic/veggie as much as possible
-make my own or try to adhere to a strictly second hand diet of clothing
That I would also document my own journey of presentations that Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher have prescribed out of the compiled book; Learning to Love You More.
There are 70 assignments to date.
The first assignment: 1. Make a child's outfit in an adult size.
"Recreate this jumper in a size that fits you and wear it as much as possible.
Try to use a very similar fabric, it should at least be pink.
You will want to try very hard to make a precise enlargement,
while not getting discouraged by mistakes, or daunted by lack of sewing skills."
My sewing skills are rudimentary, but I will indeed look forward to wearing my half hazard creation with pride.
My hope is to start on this endeavor this first week in February, which will mark the week of my 25th birthday, as well as the week I accept the first paycheck from my new job.
I am hoping to begin posting photographs in addition to blogging my first hand account, as well.
I have a calm excitement about this experience, almost as if it was the first day of December, knowing that the glory of Christmas is soon within my reach.
