Grace Kelly A white Dream As i always used to dream of my prince charming ever since i was a kid ,along with it i had another dream. A White Dream................my Wedding Gown . Wedding Gowns By Rosa Clara I had different visions of it throughout the years,trying to imagine it and visualize it ,I always used to sketch puffy dresses even when i started working as a jewelry designer you could always find wedding dresses on my sketch books and my mood boards. of course most of us thinks Big Day means white dress ,I thought so until January 2008 when i went to India to attend one of my very close friend's wedding when she was showing me her wedding dress it was an extravagant golden beaded but vivid red maroon color To my surprise I asked her isn't wedding dress should be white ,she said no for us it should be colored this is a how i realized that a white dream for me might not be white for other girls ,it might be Red ,blue ,colorful ,well any color you can imagine This is how i knew that the color ,style and the ceremonial importance of the gown really depends of different cultures and religion India The traditional wedding attire usually consist of Saris or Gahagra's in Red and white ,of course here we are talking cultural because the wedding dress can depend also from religion point of view it can be different it color so the red color here symbolize fertility ,wealth and purity ,in the leading days up to the ceremony the bride's hands and feet are painted with henna ,this decoration is called mehendi which we will also find in different cultures Ireland In Ireland ,the brides often wears dresses in Blue or white with blue ,because this color is considered as a lucky color Scotland A traditional Scottish wedding dress features tartan ,in ribbons trimming a white dress ,in a shawl around the shoulders or in a sash around the waist Africa The African bridal dress are made of bright cheerful colors including a hear piece called a gele Japan In Japan the Bride wears colorful a Kimono China The most essential element for Chinese wedding attire and decorations is the color Red ,it symbolize the good luck ,safety ,wealth and protection from the bad spirits. Of course I only spoke about couple of countries ,but there are lots of different countries with different bridal Gown traditions and colors around the world , that I will speak about in upcoming posts so stay tunes :)

New Guinea face painting art The Art of skin painting For many ancient tribes and cultures , face and body art has been an integral part of their rituals, festivals and displays of heirarchy. Depending on the occasion , face painting was used as a beautifying practice or could be adapted to be terrifying for hunting and tribal battles. It was suggested by Joseph Jordania that body painting, together with dancing, loud group singing, rhythmic stomping and drumming on external objects, contributed to reaching a specific altered state of consciousness and a battle trance through these ritualized activities. In this state

http://www.gerrybiron.com/ Here is another group of nineteenth century images of Mohawks who may have been involved in the Wild West shows. The beadwork on their clothing is distinctly different from that on my earlier post on this topic. That first group was likely from Akwesasne. Some of the images in this group are identified as coming from Caughnawaga (Kahnawake) and I suspect the beading style here is particular to the Mohawks from that Reserve. All the images below are late nineteenth century cabinet cards. An old, hand-written note on the back of this image identifies the subjects as Caughnawaga Mohawks. Identified as Running Antelope, a Caughnawaga Indian sharpshooter. These are the same individuals that are portrayed in the previous image. Cabinet Card, 4.5 x 6.5 inches. Circa 1890. The individuals depicted are Angus Montour (1851-1928), aka American Horse and his wife Dove Wing. Although American Horse was christened Angus, his Mohawk name was Twanietanekan, meaning the Two Snow Hills. He was a notable Mohawk chief who took part in several European tours with a Wild West Show. Several years after the death of Dove Wing he was at The Hague, in the Netherlands, with a troupe of Indian entertainers, where he met Johanna Elisabeth van Dommelen. They fell in love and before long they were married. Afterwards he moved back to Kahnawake with his new bride (Altena 2009). Seated beside him in this image is his first wife, Charlotte “Sara” Beauvias, aka Dove Wing. She died in 1902. Photographer: Keethler, from Cynthiana, Kentucky. Private collection. A beautiful late nineteenth century image - the group is identified on the back as Mohawks. The young girl in the foreground in holding what was likely a favorite doll. One of the recurring features on their outfits is a prominent bird motif. Several of these images were taken by the same photographer; J. C. Patrick of Coalport, Pennsylvania. Interesting how this woman has both a rifle and a handgun. She may have been a sharpshooter like Annie Oakley. Identified on the back as Caughnawaga Mohawks, this group travelled as far as Detroit when they were photographed for this image. Wearing beautifully beaded collars and cuffs, this Mohawk group was photographed in Kansas. This is one of the better identified Mohawk images in this group. Her name was Mrs. Marquis and her daughter Kwanentawi. They were from the Kahnawake Reserve near Montreal. Circa 1890. Another image of Mrs. Marquis and her daughter. The individuals in this last image were photographed in Palmyra, New Jersey. Take notice of the dancing figures on the man's jacket (detail below). They are remarkable similar to two figures on a beaded Mohawk bag from the same period (see below). Below is a beaded bag in the collection of the Oneida Indian Nation from central New York. http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/ The figures on the bag are quite similar to those on the man's jacket above.

The person who has the camera and takes the photograph can often influence how we remember things. That’s why it’s always good idea to put on your best face kids, when someone’s taking your picture—you don’t want to be remembered as a sad sack. Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) had a camera. He took a lot of photographs. Between the late 1800s and the 1930s he took some 40,000 photographs of the many different Native American peoples. Curtis’ first portrait of a Native American was taken in 1895. He photographed Princess Angeline—the daughter of Si’ahl, a powerful American Indian chief for whom the city of Seattle was named. The Princess was down on her luck selling clams to make a living. Curtis paid her a dollar to sit and have her portrait taken. He noted in his journal: This seemed to please her greatly, and with hands and jargon she indicated that she preferred to spend her time having pictures made than in digging clams. The son of a clergyman, Curtis was born on his parents’ farm in Whitewater, Wisconsin in 1868. He had two brothers and one sister. When the family moved to Seattle, he...
