Meet Jeanne Crockett of 365 Creative Dresses.
As a result of reading "365:A Daily Creative Journal: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life!" by Noah Scalin, Jeanne decided to create and post a new dress every day. Most of the dresses are around 6" tall. In a life journey, Jeanne and her husband living in Paris for a year. Jeanne and I met through Paris breakfast and being a bit of a foodie I'm partial to her creations based on edibles but there are many other witty dresses made of silk and satin etc.
 | | #345 Golden Wheat.In France, wheat symbolizes good fortune and abundance especially at the start of a new year. The florist sell bunches of wheat right next to the white flowers symbolizing a fresh start for the year. I've seen miles and miles of golden wheat fields in the Western U.S. but today is the first time I've handled wheat. It is beautiful! The grain groups look like little flowers. Dress of wheat, linen, and some gold ribbon that I picked up |
 | Dress #292 Mille-feuille
Mille-feuille (thousand leaves) is also a pastry. I painted watercolors in autumn colors, and punched out maple and oak leaves. Paper, watercolors, ribbon. I love this dress. |
 | Dress #64 Bacon and Eggs
One morning this week, I noticed my omelet had a nice ruffled edge. Of course this led me to today's dress. Looks good enough to eat---and it was! |
 | Dress #141 Bonbel
The wax coating on the bonbel cheese is so tactile! I carved a small dress into the coating of one of the mini cheese. Next time I'll use a larger one! |
 | Dress #246 Daily Bread
This is made from the remains of two different loaves of bread. I thought the pattern they made was quite nice. Day old bread from Boulanger Eric Kayser and a piece of ribbon. |

 | I asked Jeanne for her favorite food?
'Tan' foods was her response. A first for me though as a kid I only ate orange foods for a time. Kayser's baguette Monge is top of the tan list. |
 | | With a close followup from Rose Bakery's bread pudding. Jeanne said she gets her best dress ideas walking the islands in the morning (ile de Cite and Ile Saint Louis). Hmmm... |
 | *Here's a handy trick Jeanne taught me on Tuesday.
Add view/flipcard/ to the end of any Blogger home address and you'll get this terrific mosaic so you can see at a glance the posts someone has done. |
 | Here's Jeanne's source of inspiration and it looks very tempting for someone starting a diary. The Kindle version looks like it could come in handy for me in Paris. Have you tried doing something for 365 days?
Visit Jeanne's blog and please ask her not to stop at the end of 365 days coming up soon. This is too much fun to put an end to in my opinion. |
