At the beginning of my design adventures I was going to do everything in themed collections. The first and last of those collections was the Elements.
There was Fuego (Fire), the first dress I ever competed in.
There was Agua (Water), a swirling dream.
There was Aire (Air), which, I have not gotten around to wearing yet.
And then there was Tierra (Earth).
Earth was a fun experiment. I learned how to make my own appliques on this one. The color, however, offended my complexion and I did not like the draping.
It lived in the dress bin four years. I got soo tired of looking at it I almost threw it in the rubbish bin. Then Tierra met Hannah...
Love blossomed in an instant. I couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes. The dress I had such little regard for looked like it was made for her. Once she tried that dress on I never heard the end of it. Needless to say, that dress has happily found a new home and someone who will cherish it forever.
I mean she wore this the whole night! If that doesn't say something, nothing does.
