Cool Video- Walk off the Earth

Walk off the Earth perform a cover of Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know" using five people on one guitar.

Em's Painted Shoes

I painted these shoes some years ago. I used yellow, blue, red and white fabric paint, mixing colours, and it took almost 3 whole days to finish. I love them. Most people ask why I have two different shoes on but everyone seems impressed when I say I painted them myself.






I have now also painted these skeleton shoes for my boyfriend. Being a radiographer it is very suiting. He wore them to work and got a lot of comments including that he might be getting a bit too much radiation on his feet! Someone from his work wanted a pair for her son, so I've now also made a mini version.

My next painted shoe project ideas.. De Stijl shoes, galaxy tie-dye, rainbow tie-dye, rainbow sharpie, lined note paper, crossword, piano keys, glitter stripes, fabric covered, patchwork, dipped ombre dyed, modge podge pattern paper.

Em's Tie dress

Tie Skirt: I have way too many ties because I just keep seeing cool ones at the op shop and collecting them. I only ever buy ones I love the pattern for, which is usually very retro, 70's and wide. I also have a price limit, if they are too expensive the op shop misses out. I can't afford to buy 5 ties for over $2.50 each! I made a tie skirt using a lot of my Dad's old ties. I cut the back of the tie out so the skirt would be lighter and not as stiff and also made the length of the ties all different to give a flowy feel. I used another tie for the top of the skirt and inserted a zipper and big button to fasten. 

My sister had to go one better and make a dress with boning wearing it to the races with matching bow tie headpiece. I had to borrow it myself and also wear it to the races. With the advice from me she left the ties whole and zig-zagged them with the stitching showing, giving it a different, stiffer and textured feel. I love it!

Other Tie Clothing Inspiration

Long tie skirt (or maybe a dress)

Tie bag- I like the touch of the buttons with the pointy end of the tie

Dance photography

The images of contemporary dance photographer, Lois Greenfield, capture movement otherwise unseen by the human eye, using fast shutter speeds of up to 1/500 of a second and a flash at 1/2000 of a second. She captures a delicate, unique photographic movement in time that only lasts for a 500th of a second. As she says

"I love impossible looking situations that allude to the moments before and after the shutter’s click. I want the viewer to wonder, 'Where is he coming from? How will he land?'... I’m always looking for something that is going to confound the viewer. It’s about creating a mystery”

I just love the way they look as though they are floating in impossible positions otherwise unseen! I love all of them, too many to choose from!

“Precision Movements” for Raymond Weil Watches

Breaking Bounds: "This moment could never be repeated, not even by Danny and Ashley themselves. Like many of my pictures, this is a uniquely photographic event. It only exists for a 500th of a second."

Resonating Fields

Airbourne "We recombined signature movements from Graham dances to make it look like a multiple exposure of one jump seen at three points."
