Good Morning All!!! Playing around with darts is something I have enjoyed from the first moment I began to learn anything about pattern drafting. I'm sure you've seen pictures like the one below, interesting, but intimidating for sure. The picture gives ideas, but no instruction about how to actually move the darts around. It also seems rather dated. But, take a look at the picture below, a lovely vintage Vogue pattern, right out of the 1940's. The dress was lovely then and now. Now take a look at this dress. Same idea as above, but with a very modern take. Here's another idea on creating dart interest. Notice that the darts are actually sewn so that they show on the outside of the garment. The middle dart radiates to the bust point, but the other 2 are above and below the bust. Here's another idea of creating interest with darts. Once again they are sewn to the outside of the garment, and extra interest was added by inserting leather. To create the skirt below, the darts were incorporated into the princess seam lines. The darts along the outside panels offer nothing more than interest. The dress below shows how the darts of the bodice were divided and then formed to radiate from the waistline over the bust. The design was repeated in the skirt where the skirt waist darts were rotated to the side seam and then flared out over the hips. Here's another lovely example of radiating darts creating interest with this Decades of Style pattern. With the dress below, all of the darts were rotated to the shoulder and developed into tuck of flange, which works beautifully with the draped back. Below is a wonderful example of darts that create an illusion of fit. The top is a Marcy Tilton pattern. There is a slight amount of fit at the waistline, but the darts give the illusion of more fit than there actually is. Here's the flat drawing of the blouse. Just a lovely use of dart manipulation. You can find the pattern HERE if you are interested. It's a style that would look great on just about every body type. Here's another fabulous use of dart rotating. Darts were rotated to create the princess seam line and then moved into the neckline. A dress that at first looks very simple is really quite complicated. Great design! The dress is from the Reem Acra Spring 2013 collection. The entire collection, although 2 years is old, is lovely wand well worth a look. If you would like to give rotating darts a try, just google "dart manipulation" and you should be able to find how it is done. It's basically quite simple. Get a basic bodice, draw in a line where you would like a dart to be, cut on that line and then close up the existing dart. Like magic a new dart will open up! Hope your week is off to a lovely start! Rhonda

While I know a lot of you come here for art and creative inspiration, I have a some hobbies behind the scenes that I thought might be fun to share with you once in a while! One of my all time favorite hobbies is "rockhounding". Rockhounding is hunting for minerals, rocks, semi-precious gems, petrified wood and fossils. Living on the Oregon Coast, there are all kinds of places to go where there are exposed beds of agates and stones and I will spend HOURS crawling around on the beach looking for jasper, moonstones and agates. While my favorite part of the process is the hunt, this summer I've really enjoyed my rock tumbler! A tumbler makes it possible to smooth and polish those rocks over time. We have a the Lortone Model 3A rock tumbler and a rock tumbler grit kit. After I've spent time hunting for rocks, I spend just as much time sorting and trying to identity a lot of those rocks. This is actually one of Lucy's favorite things to do! We try to sort everything either by color or by the type of rock. Then we select a mixture of of different sizes of rocks that will get tumbled. Next we fill the tumbling barrel about half way full. The next step is to add a coarse grit and water to the tumbling barrel. Grit is silicone carbide abrasive that is added to the tumbling process. The rocks roll around in the tumbler in the grit and water and over time, the grit shapes, smooths and polishes the rocks. There are four stages of grit- Course grit which does the rough shaping of the rock Medium grit removes scratches and produces a smooth surface Pre-polish smooths the rock even more Polish shines those rocks Rock shops typically sell all four levels of grit. We tumbled the first grit for about a week or so. The result was rocks that were quite a bit smoother. After the first tumble is finished, it is really important empty the barrel, wash the rocks and the barrel and then start the next stage. The tumbled three more times for about one week with each grit and it ends up REALLY smoothing those rocks! But they are not yet polished. The last stage (4th stage) is to tumble those rocks with the polish- aluminum oxide for another week. The result is AMAZING! Beautiful smooth and shiny rocks!! The entire rock tumbling process takes about 4 weeks and it is SO hard to wait during that time! But the end result is so worth it.

Spread kindness and positivity! Black cats are the sweetest treasures. You just can’t go wrong having one. These rocks make an excellent gift for anyone who needs a warm, thoughtful pick-me-up. Rock art is something you can feel and hold for comfort, if you want to. They also serve as beautiful memorial rocks. Approximate Size: 3” x 3.5” All of the rocks are hand painted with high quality, acrylic paint and sealed in resin. Because Nature never creates identical rocks, each piece is uniquely created with great attention to detail. It’s best to be used as inside decor, as placing these rocks outside may damage their artwork and is not recommended. Thank you for checking out my Etsy Shop. I have many different painted rocks in my shop. If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, send me a message via the Etsy “contact seller” option and let me know what rock design you would like.
