To dress tag, or not to dress tag, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in heart & mind to endureThe slings and arrows of a run-of-the-mill life,
Or to take arms against a sea of the ordinary,
And by dress tagging, end them? To tag, to sleep ... no more;
(my apologies to Mr. Shakespeare)

| experimenting with tagging |
 |
| 'May this dress help you find your inner baker' |
 |
| this tag may have been too suggestive?!? |
this made me question my whole dress tagging endeavor ~ is this insanity??? why am I doing this?? why am I throwing one more 'thing' into my already full life?? last week, besides delivering artwork and submitting artwork, I got to deal with a dead chicken, a broken pipe, flooded house and then lost my all keys for a truly uncomfortable amount of time?!?
but even as I question this latest obsession, I can't deny this burning desire to put these 'tags' out in the world. Even if they are never picked up & end on in the trash ~ they might bring a smile to someone before it is thrown out. And I have so much fun figuring out what 'intention' to put on each dress and where to put it, so I guess the dress tagging will continue!! so keep your eyes open AND if you want to be part of the fun ~ email me or comment below and I will send you some dress tags!! But beware - it is addicting :) Peace
I love them! but if you need to strike a balance (only so many hours in a day, hah!?) maybe you'll have to reduce the frequency to fit your other art & family schedule, But... don't abandon them all together! Have them serve you (and the gleeful recipient) when you need the adventure and rush: tag it!
ReplyDeleteDarling - great advice!! I am doing a bit of house-keeping and info gathering and found this comment :) I miss leaving these dresses so maybe I will start adding them back into my life but with a balance XXX
