THREADS // TEAL & TANGERINE

This outfit post is a bit out of sequence... It was from a week or so ago, and I missed putting it up!  I loved the color combo.  Three of these pieces are from past Bohemian Collective lookbooks.  The PPP dress, the Run With The Tribe top and the Sun & Glory deerskin belt.  And can I say how excited I am to start breaking out my  Blowfish sandals again now that the weather is warming up.  Yes yes!  The beautiful rose quartz necklace is from SoulMakes. The earrings are from Larkin & Larkin, and the wrap bracelet is Spiral Drift.  A bevy of handmade lusciousness.

RELEASE

Diving into the rio abajo rio.  Today's Gemini moon stirred me up.  My energy was mixed with high emotions, feistiness, and a deep need to release some things through dance and art.  And that is just what I did.  I got down and dirty on my hard wood floors, and then I got inspired to break out the camera and turn those emotions into tangible art.  This is my way of working things out.  Its how I heal from aggression, pain and sorrow, as well as how I express in more happy states.  So... these are the product of today.

The amazing fabric I found last week for my gypsy flags, but I honestly don't think I can cut this fabric up.  I nearly fainted when I found it at goodwill.  Not a stain or tear.  Its magic.  Truly.

WELCOME HOME

Welcome.  This is my new virtual home.  My own .com.  From now on, this is where I will share my thoughts, my art and everything else I desire.  Take some time to poke around.  There are many tabs on top to scroll through.  You can now see most of my past work here all in one place!  As well as many of my favorite photos.  These sections will constantly be updated. 

I have a few more details to include in this space, but for now, it is good enough to release into the world.  Never have I felt so connected to a web design before.  I have fully poured my heart into this space, and I hope you enjoy this new part of my journey. 

I'm still working on figuring out how to import my followers, and have links that allow you to easily follow this new blog.  Hopefully it will all work out.  For now, you can just save www.rootsandfeathers.com into your computer's navigation bar, or however you save sites. 

Id love to hear your feedback!  Let me know if you find it easy to navigate... I love you all so much!  Thank you for following me along, to each new home I take up residency in... xo.

NEW BLOG HOME // COMING SOON

I'm starting to get very excited about the new home of Roots and Feathers that is coming

soon

.  Ive been working on the website for hours and hours these past two weeks, and its finally coming together.  Its going to be so much fun to have more of a website then just a blog.  I may (I hate to say I will in case it doesn't happen yet), but I may be launching it by monday!  Or sooner or later.  But either way, soon!  I wanted to give you a heads up in case you happen to land here and it either be temporarily disabled, or something else while Im working on the switch over.  I might not have to though...

As soon as its about to go live, Ill announce it over here and send you a link!  It will be a bit sad to leave this space behind, Ive loved it for so long... but Im excited to take the next step and change things up a bit.  Change is always good.  And honestly, the vibe over there is so me, and so much like this, that you will feel right at home instantly, I promise.

I will also be switching over my sponsor ads.  All of my current sizes will no longer be.  I have sent all of my current sponsors email about the switch over, but Im still waiting on just a few to send me their new size ads, so please do so soon!  Also, if you would like to have your ad up on the blog for the new launch, email me asap.  I will now have 3 Feature spots, instead of just one, and these will be the only spots available for giveaways now... And Im going to have a separate blog just for the giveaways, to they wont get buried in old posts anymore!  And the medium and small spots are going to be much larger now!
