WarehouseArtchix: Fall is finally here and see what adorable things are arriving in the mail!

OH, THE SEASONS ARE CHANGING,THE LANDSCAPE IS BEING REPAINTED WITH WARMER COLORS AND THE LEAVES ARE BEGINNING TO FALL! I love this time of year when the air starts to cool and has that crisp feel to it. I love the colors of the leaves, the way it makes me want to bring those colors into my home. I think it is God's way of easing us into Winter, ever so gently!

Many of you may have noticed the little picture in the side bar of the blog that is titled SWAP. Just what is a SWAP, you may ask??? A SWAP, is hosted by an artist and is a way of exchanging works of art, ideas and techniques. It is a challenge to "play outside the box, color outside the lines". It is an invitation to to share. I just recently signed up to participate in a "paper dress swap" with Heather at www.jeweledelegance.typepad.com , the rules were to make two paper dresses, one with a fall theme and one with any theme...artist choice. They were to be small enough to mail in a 6 x 9 padded envelope. Of course, I had to mail mine in a bigger envelope, because by the time you wrap them in tisssue and tie them with ribbon and add some treats to that...6 x 9 just did not do the trick! The deadline for mailing them to your swap partner is Oct. 6. Well, my swap partner was Heather herself and she sent a very special package this week!! It contained three (yes, three...she is a generous soul!) of the most adorable, sweet tiny paper dresses you have ever seen! What a fun thing to get in the mail! I have them hanging on my bulletin board, the perfect embellishment for that space!! Here are some pics of the cuties:

Are these not just adorable! The fall one has a spider web skirt and a glittered black top and the tiny details on the other two are so fab. Now this is something that my creative brain would never have thought of ...but by looking and reading other artist sites, I have discovered wonderful new projects. You can view the entire fashion show of dresses that were in the SWAP by just clicking on the icon button of the dress swap in our side bar. One of the artist even hosted a ball so artist could show off their finery and celebrate Fall! I am telling you that the world is sooooo full of fantastically creative people!

Come join us in this adventure of creativity, grab a cup of coffee and make yourself comfortable. Now just check out some of the fantastic artist and websites by clicking on the links on our left hand sidebar...then when you go to one of those sites, just look at their list of links and check out some of those! It is never ending and can supply you with hours of wonderful images and entertaining conversation from artist! (Not that we all have hours to sit..hehe! but you can spare a few minutes to expose yourself to something new!) So join in the fun! Have a fantastic day and don't for get to watch the trees as they transform into fabulous fall colors and the sky as it paints itself in blues, lavenders and corals! post by - Sandra
