WEAVE MAGIC INTO YOUR LIFE

S/S 2013 Maison de Rose Art Performance 

WEAVE MAGIC INTO YOUR LIFE: Maison de Rose, presents her S/S 2013 Beltane Maypole Fashion / Art Performance at The Awaken Healing Center at 7 PM Sunset April 13, 2013.

                         Maison de Rose will be presenting her S / S 2013 Performance Art Fashion Piece at Sunset, Saturday the 13th of April: WEAVE MAGIC INTO YOUR LIFE. Awaken Healing Center will be hosting the event in their lovely courtyard garden. RSVP ONLY by e.mail or text message. Fellow Goddess Artists performing will include Gemma Bayly, Kathy Sietos, Katie Zimmerman, Heather Penhale, Jacqueline Sophia Cordova, Porscha' Danielle, Sara Sayed, Sarah Shavel, Livv Pluss & Piper Rose. Chandrika Prem will be accompanying the performance on the Cello. An $11 donation is suggested & we ask you to bring your own champagne / fernet / chimay. 

                       The fashion performance will feature a Maypole, inspired by Starhawk's The Spiral Dance Beltane: May Eve Ritual. Maison de Rose has declared herself a Zero Waste Fashion House, in an effort to heal the waste of the fast fashion industry. This performance will be an act symbolizing this healing process. The rainbow colors flowing from the Maypole will each represent a chakra corresponding to the performance artists color she is wearing, fashioned by Maison de Rose. The performance artists will be chanting a healing meditation that corresponds to the color chakra she is wearing, transferring an essence of healing onto certain aspects of the fast fashion industry in need of attention. The performers will weave in & out around the Maypole, concentrating on what they have woven into their lives. Maison de Rose asks her audience to ask themselves what they have woven into their lives? Onto their bodies? & How do we go from here to make it magical? Sublime?

It's no secret that my fashion house is located at the Awaken Healing Center. 

I would like to take a moment to introduce to everyone a very special woman / friend / mentor / everything / Bree Davies & I sometime refer to her as our Shaman : 

Heather Andrea Holden. 

(HAH)

If you have watched WRECK LESS ABANDON, 

she is the inspiration behind the character of

Shamaness Anjaneya Orca 

If you or anyone you know is looking for a healing space, 

she has exceptional studio's for rent that were just refinished

(THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. WE ARE TALKING MICA FLOORS).

Plus +++++ Doesn't she look gorgeous in a MdR dress ? = Yes.

Gathering Mullein to Dye Stained Sheets

MULLEIN

 (Verbascum thapus):

 Mullein grows wild over much of the industrialized world. Its special spiritual work is to heal the damage created by human activity. It is not uncommon to see a large plant growing where a recent road cut fords in a stream. The Mullein stands ready to cast its seeds upon any subsequent erosion. Not only will roots help to hold the soil in place, but the furry leaves attract and hold dust and windblown soil. Not only are the leaves eaten by many creatures, but the nectar from the flowers and copious supply of seeds provide for many. Life encourages life! The waste products of the mice and insects often finding haven under the spreading leaves help to enrich and rebuild the soil given time, Mullein and her helpers will heal damaged land.

The work Mullein has to do in the wild is very important.

. . . Mullein and her helpers will heal damaged fast fashion & stained Bed & Breakfast (graciously donated by the Cottonwood Inn Bed & Breakfast in Taos) sheets ! 

THIS IS WHAT A TRUNK FULL-A-MULLEIN LOOKS LIKE:

I only gathered the plants that were taller than I, 

& I thanked each one

I have read that the later you harvest them the deeper the color dyes . . . 

We will see.

THE OVERNIGHTER

My friend Jenna requested that I make her a reversible dress so when she forgets to bring extra clothes somewhere, she can flip it around & TA DA NEW DRESS. 

This design is a ZERO WASTE design - made from 2 t.shirts, and every scrap used back into the design. There are also secret pockets in every single dress. Betchya can't even tell where. Or Can you?

Halter - Hot - As - Fudge - Outside & You Don't Really Wanna Wear Clothes Dress

If you have 2 T.Shirts you would like me to turn into an OVERNIGHTER for you, please e.mail me at baily@illiteratemagazine.com.
