Time Warp Challenge: I Remember When...

This last Monday's challenge was to create a design that represents an important moment in history or in your life.
Important moments can be good, bad, or simply life changing.
The moment I chose to remember is a little of all of those. Good, as it changed my perspective in ways I appreciate. Bad, in that I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and life changing in that it put me on a completely new path.
I chose to use the idea of hospital gowns, and create a simple, almost generic pattern.
I was in hospital gowns a lot in 2006 when I was diagnosed, and have a love hate relationship with them. I love that designer try to create a pattern that is not totally depressing, and I hate that the gowns still feel like salt in a wound. I mean, not only are you sick, you have face the well dressed doctors in a low thread count bed sheet that doesn't close in the back.

Using dots and diamonds, on a white base coat, I created a this pattern.

I wasn't sure I wanted to do this design, as it was a hard moment in my life, but honestly, it feels almost cathartic.

So yeah, bring it on hospitals. If I have to wear your gowns with my read end hanging out, I'm gonna coordinate my make up and nails, and still look awesome.

First stop: Nail Blog

Rose Trellis. A rose design on pale mint. Perfect for Spring or Early Summer.

This is my brand spanking new nail blog. I follow so many, and am more than a little obsessed my nail polish, so I figured I might as well take pictures and write about it, instead of boring my male co-workers with talk about it. They call nail polish my "crack." I have so much nail polish it doesn't fit into one bag anymore. I need to get one of those organizers thingies for it.

Neon Sunset. Bright, bold stripes that make me feel like I'm on vacation when I'm working.

I'm not the most original nail blogger, but I've certainly got lots of enthusiasm. I have super short nails, as I'm a working violinist, and have to keep my nails short. but that has never stopped my love of fantastical polishes!
Hopefully my skills will progress along with this blog.
My next post will be on Sunday, where I will show my recent nail polish haul, and do a few reviews.

Hugs and kisses,
Suz
