Surprise! A Monday post is unusual for me, but here we go! You can expect a post every Monday. Now, why is that, you’re asking, right? I’m joining Salazar and Shelbee as a co-host for Style Imitating Art. If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun. I have to tell you I have come up with some pretty wild looks, but I’ve also loved learning about different artists and different ways of making art.
How it works…
Here are the details: Every other Monday, one of us will select a piece of art. That is shared via all three co-hosts’ blogs. On the following Monday, all three share their looks as well as the others’ on their blogs. If you choose to participate, send a photo to the curator for that particular week. You, as well as the other participants, will be featured on the curator’s post that Wednesday. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
My first share…
Salazar chose “Jubilee Procession in a Cornish Village” by A.G. Sherwood Hunter. At first glance, I thought it was a field of flowers. Nope! There are people and lanterns! If you decide to participate, you can go literal. Or, you might decide to go with your gut and work from a more abstract frame of reference. It’s totally up to you. I do hope you’ll join us. Please have your photo to Salazar (14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com) by Tuesday, January 30th, to be included in her post.

Thanks, Shelbee! I really need to start looking now. Maybe a trip to the art museum is in store!
Good for you Marsha, I think you are going to make a great co-host for SIA. You ladies are so creative!

Oh, thanks, Kellyann! I really enjoy the challenges, but I’ve never had to go looking for the art! Yikes!!!
Congratulations on joining Salazar and Shelbee as a co-host. Nice piece
Thank you, Bernice! I’m hoping to do a good job!

Thanks, Kathrine. I didn’t choose this one; Salazar did. But, I agree. The colors are gorgeous. I think I know what I’m going to do with it as a prompt already…which is unusual!
What a cool piece of artwork!!
Xoxo

Isn’t it gorgeous? Shelbee wrote that the dresses were white so I’m going to have to do a little investigating because they sure look blue to me!
Marsha, how fun! I know you’ll enjoy your time as a co-host, I did. It’s fun and allows you to flex your creative muscles in so many different ways.
Thanks, Daenel! I’m hoping I can find lots of cool pieces. I think I’m going to start by a visit to the art museum!
That’s awesome! I love the piece too!
Thanks, Laura! I’m a little hesitant, but I do love exploring new things!
