Sometimes things just feel right. Whether it’s a shoe, a job, or a relationship. Certain things just work. Yet, for some reason it takes forever to figure some things out! For instance, my friend Lillie and I have known each other for nearly 4 years now and have been pretty much on the same page the whole time. Since we’ve become closer over the last year or so, things have become even more clear. Our design sensibilities are very similar, we have the same interests when it comes to fashion, delicious interiors, and pretty things in general. It has begun to manifest itself in our appearance. It is a near daily occurrence that there is some element of our outfit that is practically identical. And if it’s not on our physical person, it’s a thought or idea that comes out in near identical terms. So upon our discovery of these facts, we had an epiphany: Why have we not collaborated yet?
So, next step. Do that. Collaborate. What could our two distinctly similar brains create together? ……………blank.
Eventually we came up with a way to not only do a single project together but also sustain a continuous project even after graduation in May when neither of our fates are certain. What other place could be more perfect than on the web? Not much we gathered. We decided to create a blog that we could post responses to one another’s work and inspiration and create a visual and mental dialog within a public space that we can share not only with each other but with whomever chooses to peek in.
Check it out at helloreflection.com where you can see our progress so far. We are drawing content from Flickr Commons and from our own personal libraries.
I’m really excited to see where this little project goes and how how it evolves over time. We plan on changing the look once we are able to fund some hosting and and have more editable capabilities through WordPress.
Check it out and see what it becomes!
