In the search tool bar type in Slavik -Karina Rumba 2004. This dance is why I will, Lord willing, dance for the rest of my life.

Blogs I like

www.andreajoseph24.blogspot.com

As I was looking at the artwork on this blog I realized that because of my background and interest in fashion, interior design, landscaping, and dancing, I tend to be drawn to drawings that I can relate to. Thus, I have chosen this blog to comment on.

I love the colors she uses in her potted plants. My favorite plant is the one on the bottom right with the blue vase and the vine that is full of foliage. In contrast, the other plants appear more grass-like. It seems to me that she took the time to pick out a plant that really appealed to her.

I also enjoy the hand bag or clutch that she drew. The colors are great and I can picture a dress that would be perfect with it. The bag from the boutique is also a favorite of mine because I occasionally keep bags from stores that I like. Or, if the bag has a really good design to it then I may keep it and use it as a display. I currently have a few boxes from Hermes as well as Donna Karen that I use on display.

The bag in the picture seems to be a testimony to the fact that purses and bags either need to be designed to accommodate the things stored in them or the person using the bag needs to prioritize the things that should go in the bag.
