bridal scan

I was invited to be part of a panel discussion on Green Weddings, which was last night.  I quickly whipped up a short green (hemp, organic cotton and silk) wedding dress to bring along. 

One of my goals for this year is to develop a line of mostly sustainable ready to wear bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Originally, I never really saw myself as a bridal designer, but lately I've been working on a lot of wedding gowns and it turns out, that it's something I really enjoy designing.  I'm creating a bridal section to my website, which will hopefully be up in the next day or so.

Today, while scanning some forms and documents, I got the idea to scan the dress I made. Still, no fancy, new camera (or fixed), but maybe I don't need one afterall. I love the effect, without any editing whatsoever. I think I'll scan more of my designs in the future!
On another note, the blossoms have FINALLY began to bloom in the trees outside the windows, providing for a great April-backdrop.

Update: I just put up a webpage: leannemarshall.com/bridal

Scanners make things appear sort of mysterious when you scan them. The fabric does look yummy!

Your wedding dress on PR was BEAUTIFUL! I can see why you'd be doing a bunch of wedding gowns lately.

If I "whipped up" a wedding dress it'd be a bed sheet with head and arm holes. I have a feeling your finished item is much more lovely. :)

Are you doing individual designs? Since I saw your wedding dress on PR before I got engaged I was like I have to have my wedding dress made by Leanne!
