Hello January, Goodbye January

Hello everyone! I am SO sorry that I haven't posted yet this year. I've gotten caught up with Live & Conquer, (my Etsy shop) I've been working on my spring collection. (I feel so funny saying that) ;D I'm also pondering opening an Etsy shop for my photographs. Thoughts? I did a few other self portrait photo shoots this month, but I haven't posted them yet because I have sworn not to. Long story. ;D On another note..... I got the idea for a kind of photo collage from the Twilight soundtrack (New Moon), Shooting the Moon by OK Go.  I LOVE that song. I had a really good time making it. The moon photo, the sunset photo and the photo of me are all mine. I had the mist fun making the rainbow waterfall. Well, I hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. I still can't believe it 2011! Oh my.

John Lennon Tribute "All You Need Is Love"

My tribute to the wonderful and brilliant John Lennon. My sister and I grew up listening to The Beatles and just plain old John, thanks MOM! ;D What's your favorite John Lennon or Beatles song?

Me

This is me going slightly crazy with my hair and make up. Don't worry, the white flakes in my hair is snow. ;D It was freezing when I did this photo shoot. Something like 27 degrees. I had a good time doing my make up and hair. The idea was some creature that was trying to blend in, but wasn't working out too well for "it". Hope you like. HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYBODY!!!!

Tribal Total Make Up Binge

I got this idea yesterday for a photo shoot, but I needed to go and get some make up for it. So, I went and 

kinda went on a make up binge. I just got all the cheap sale stuff, so I didn't feel to bad spending money on things that I would never wear besides for photo shoots. Anyway, when I got home I thought I would try some ideas out for the idea I had and well, I went a little nuts you could say. But, in a good way. I just had to take a few photos. ;D It's ridiculous I know. Believe me I know. Hope you all like my craziness. 

A November Afternoon

This idea for a photo shoot popped into my head yesterday. I was about to do it, but thought better of it, as we had tornado warnings, and an actual tornado touched down just a few miles from our house! So, I thought I would save it for today. ;D The last photo was definitely the most "interesting", I set up my tripod outside my window, then took a bucket of water and thew/dumped it onto the window, then climbed back into my room to find that most of the water was now in my room then.... OOPS's. I was on my floor. All the while my cat and dog watching me from my bed, most likely worrying about my sanity. It was also extremely cold today! (not that, that really matters.) The last photo didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it, but I was a little too cold to be my normal anal self. ;) The first 2 photo were to make up the the last one not being up to par.

mine

Yay! A new photo shoot. I took these photos yesterday, when everything look all "Grey Gardensy".
And, then this idea for a photo shoot popped into my head. I'm kinda of  obsessed with old tins, and hidden things. I also love horses. ;D Also tea cups, I love old tea cups. I took these photos in our now chicken filled garden.
