dream of weaving

This image may not look "Silverbox", but it's so close to my heart. It was posted on Facebook by my long-distance daughter Emma. I took a look the photo and thought she couldn't have combined these photos. I looked closer. Hmm. I asked for clarification. It was in fact done by her. You may not see what I do, but I'm blown away by the masking in Photoshop, the lighting, the drop shadow, etc. When did she learn how to do this herself? A few days ago Emma was in Guatemala studying apparel design and today she's in NYC starting an eight week internship. She combined both experiences in such a beautiful way and thought she deserved the Silverbox blog limelight today. Way to go kiddo!

the Queen Mary

In honor of heading out this evening to see the Titanic sink in 3D, I thought I'd post some photos of a trip I just took to Long Beach, California. May I present to you, the Queen Mary. She's larger than the Titanic and I was blown away by her beauty. I'll also leave you with one of my favorite quotes to any movie... “Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count. ” ~ Jack Dawson
