Really cute creations. Hey, be sure to check my blog tomorrow for a little surprise just for you :)
really great, I'm sending mine 7/1
I love your creations and no I don't have a special tripped planned TOMORROW for the post office but soon.
I want to comment on the video you posted.. how powerful... I remember being in TJ Mexico 2 years ago and all the unmarked crosses and graves of people that tried to cross the border... It was overwhelming!
These women that are missing my heart goes out to you.
Thanks for posting that video.
these are waaay cool, michelle... i love that the word peace is here...
you inspire ME.

Very cute!
I live on that safe side in El Paso as do my children. I went to Juarez all my young life to visit my grandparents and other family members and as a teenager for the great food and readily available booze. My children also followed but now, it's much too dangerous. The video is very compelling and how true...it is an American problem...especially now that the drug cartels have taken precedence over the killings, lest we forget what is also happening to our sister city's young women...not this gal...never! BTW, I love your dress...such great representation.
These are precious Michelle, each dress, an ensemble you might say! May these dresses, with threads of peace, touch us all...
oh lovely lovely lovely
makes me wanna do something...

Michelle, you stun me.
I LOVE these.
These are wonderful and SO RIGHT for the project Missy M.
Yep When Monica calls....me too.
Xo-S.
I just had to stop to say
Those Dresses Are Wonderful!
Am I seeing right, are they chained together?
Oh, Michelle, I love your DRESSES--fronts and backs! I love that they are linked together...it's as if they are holding hands--what a beautiful thought!
Hugs to ya, girl;)
There is a lot of feeling to these...
...the local color...
the hearts...
...a cry for peace...
together.
They are great.
Yes, I am mailing too.
Michelle, the dresses are wonderful and so creative in such a heartfelt way.
After watching that very powerful video, the dresses have even more meaning.
I salute you!
Your dresses capture so much of the culture and symbolize these women well, I think. Good job. I liked very much attaching the word "peace" to them. Thanks for reminding me of this project. - Jeanne
GREAT job! What a project!
Hey Michelle,
It's a good thing you all are doing. I first heard about this project over at Rochambeau and was so impressed with the power and pain in that video.
It reminded me of a documentary I saw a few months ago about a similar situation in Guatamala, where in the last couple of years something over 2000 women have been killed.
The police are so lazy and ineffectual that they label them as prostitutes and refuse to investigate. Even though they are wives, mothers, college students, etc.
It makes me so grateful I live in this country...
Hugs,
Kate

That's fabulous !!!
Love the paper that you used for the dress :)
more dresses, more voices, we need us all. we will remember them. and we will be remembered. thank you for posting this video, one I had not seen yet. my dress yields the faces of real young women I photographed in Mexico. this video has me speechless, yet ready to roar. thank you for your contribution.
Michelle...I absolutely adore the dresses you contributed...they are beautiful! I love the shape, the perfect choice of papers you chose and the jump rings you used to link them all together. But I really love that you put *TRUTH* and *PEACE*! The truth will bring peace to the hearts of those affected and maybe the truth will bring justice too!
You have beautifully honored every lost life. Thank you for sharing your heart art in hopes that S&C will write an article and address the situation...I hope they will!!!
XOXO ~Lisa
These really turned out cool! You did an amazing job! :D

Dear Michelle,
Your dresses are perfect! The front with the fabric, the back with the lotteria cards and the Peace danglies.
May your works for art spread your message of Peace far and wide!
