Loving Allure

The fear of beginning stops so many magical stories from being lived. Excuses swim around the mind, eating up precious time. What if you were to just start, right here, right now? What would you do? How could you shape your days to build a lifestyle of love? For me, I know it’s time to start sewing, over and over again, on a routine with a consistent schedule.

What if you were to approach your dreams as a happy commitment to play, let your soul find its voice, and begin to weave the routines that give your creativity order? I am delighted to return to drawing a dress a day as a design practice. Artistry is an active dance that we rehearse over the course of our life's work. I am fascinated by the normalization of artistic discovery within the self.

Cultural connection and explosive countering against resistance are key. It is easy to give in to existing and wonder why one is not satisfied. Only you can make the changes needed to move toward that alternative path. When were the moments when you felt that time faded? How could you start that activity in an intentional way?

These are all the Elsa Fitzgerald designs in a walled garden with friends attending a charity event in Baltimore.

Oh I cannot wait to make fine fashions!

These are sketches I created many years back.

This is a show I love to watch of a dressmaker turned spy, mostly I love to watch it because of the old machines in use and the beautiful garments she creates.
