Ephemeral Memoriam

Just a little brainstorming happening here. Don't worry, no rain right now.
I was considering my dress that I have to make out of paper in a few weeks. I have come up with ideas such as using ephemeral materials (receipts, packaging, cupcake papers etc).







But I am also really attached to my idea of making a dress out of intimate momentos; postcards, polaroids (probably not real polaroids), photos, tickets, letters.

I already have some polaroids (above) but would definitely want to take more. I am obsessed with pinwheels also.

Sounds interesting. Will be good to see the finished dress.

The concept of making a dress out of momentos is brilliant! You'll have this interesting tension between outside (the dress) and inside (private photos etc.). I cannot wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks you guys! Your input has really helped me get closer to making a decision and elaborating on those ideas.
Will definitely keep everyone updated on the dress.

i like the emphemeral materials idea, you could make a spiel about recyling, although i also like the pinwheel idea...

i also love the simplicity of this: http://iamher.net/dress.html
