Miakaya's Creations

































I am Fashion

Miakaya

I am not the plain bark on the tree = I am the smooth leaves
I am not the rock dirt on the mountain = I am the grass in the field
I am not the burnt French fries = I am the crispy light of the meal
I am not the loud ruff music = I am the smooth operator
I am not the splash of the ocean = I am more like the wave
I am not the black of the color = I am more like the blue and pink
I am not the hard crust around your toes = I am as soft as a baby’s bottom
I am not the leftover broccoli in your frig = I am more like the sweet watermelon
I am not the wrinkled shrit = I am the silk
But whatever I am
just remember I am

Emily is bringing back the cape


Emily made a dress from men's dress pants, and a cape from my old velvet overalls.














I am…


Emily

I am a rippling field
sweeping the air
I am the marshmallow in a hot mug of cocoa
I am the soup that gets rid of your cold
I am the soft lull of a gentle drizzle
I am fuzzy corduroy pants
I am an apple tree,
giving sweet fruits
I am the yellow crayon
you use to draw sunshine
I am the hands that make music
and Cinderella’s other shoe.

Michaella and her Purple Idiosyncrasy








I am

Michaella Cipriani

I am the queen
I walk with the stride of her majesty
I am the peacock bursting with color
and a clumsy yet arrogant stride
I am the girl who sings too loudly
whistles too loudly
talks too loudly
and pirouettes down the stairs
I am Italian
My hands do the talking
I am the Broadway lights
that scream LOOK AT ME KNOW DARN YOU!
I am idiosyncratic
I am the word idiosyncratic
I had no idea that that was even
a word until I looked it up in my thesaurus
and now I will flaunt it
as my own phrasing
because it’s my word now.

Caroline and the Making of her Baby Doll Dress




I am

Caroline

I am animals
I am the ocean
I am celery
Partly Sunny, I am

I am 65°
I am legs
I am t-shirt
Red oak trees, I am



I am music
I am my friends’ voices
I am the AC in my room
Cake batter, I am

I am sitting
I am smiling
I am thinking
I am laughing
I am talking
I am watching

I AM ME

Monica's Fuzzy Shrug and Flower-studded Sash





Monica

I am a wave that hits the sand and seagulls fly above me. I come crashing down to its
rough surface and slowly melt away. I am a sunset that slowly goes down under the
motionless water. I am a garden of beautiful lilacs scenting the air with a fragrant aroma.

I am a weeping willow flowing slowly in the soft breeze.

Carly, the country-looking city girl




Carly made a vest from a shirt, and altered pants with strips of plaid down each side.











I have …


Carly

I have patches covering up my many colors

I have many different patterns in different personalities
I have what may look like a country style, but I’m a city girl at heart

I have buttons to show that I can really get into anything

I have contrasting colors to show how different I am
I have mess-ups because
I am an outfit and everyone makes mistakes.

Reed, her wrap-around skirt and "Funny Bunny" leg-warmers








Reed was taken with the spikiness of some spiky flowers she found photos of. Here, she's attaching spiky balls to her "Funny Bunnies."




Reed


I am the pretty flower that blooms on a cherry blossom tree.
I am the spotlight dancer in Swan Lake.
I am the first place horseback rider in the Kentucky Derby.
I an also invisible
because
I am a kid
I am that moldy cheese in the refrigerator
I am the stale chips in the pantry
I am the worst and best thing I can be
I am me
