Beginnings

/ trappedintimedesigns / Leave a comment

After my first model casting call yesterday, and meeting some of the sweetest, most fabulous models around, I’m beginning work for my first ever runway fashion show!  March 15 is just around the corner, and I’m extremely excited for this opportunity.  I have some of the best talent lined up for hair and make up, some amazingly talented jewelry designers creating one-of-a-kind looks to go with my clothing, and I couldn’t be happier with my models.  We’re going to ROCK this.

Boa

A tulle boa for Mardi Gras.

Not listed in the shop yet–will get stock photos over the weekend.

002

One more custom order to go, and then it’s to the grindstone to get everything ready for my upcoming RAW fashion show and booth.

This was the first tulle boa I’ve done.  Pretty result, but I don’t think I’ll make another.

009

Extremely fiddle-y and time-consuming.  That baby is made up of strips of tulle (hand cut by yours truly) and individually sewn on in alternating colors of gold, green and purple.

Thank goodness for books on cd.

(if you’re interested in purchasing the boa, please comment or contact me)

Light

It’s just a cheapo (and, let’s face it, kinda ugly) lamp that had been living in a corner on our sun porch, but I can’t help but absolutely love the golden glow it gives from it’s new spot in the studio.  Something about the quality of light, the placement of the lamp, makes me cozy and comfy and long for the space in my studio to put a giant overstuffed sofa with tons of pillows.

Of course, it would only be covered in fabric (and kitties).  But I’d love it just the same.

A couple sneak peeks of one of the shoots I mentioned the other day.  Can’t wait to see more–these images are beautiful!

Adore how the background compliments this image.

Amazing colors, gorgeous model, beautiful hair & make up!  I’m so lucky to get to be involved in things like this.

Hansel and Gretel

I was spellbound all the way through this amazing Korean version of the story.

I want to live in this house.  I’m obsessed with the rabbit portraits. (though not those shown here–there is another set, hung in the living room, that I’m desperate to own.  I can’t seem to find information on the artist though)  (yes, I AM desperate to own two rather creepy rabbit-people portraits)

If you have any information on the artist, or where to puchase the prints, please do let me know.

It’s available on Netflix instant view.  I highly recommend it for those who love visually rich, beautifully told, rather creepy fairy tales.

Especially if you’re an Asian horror fan (you know who you are, and if you’re one of us, you understand the importance).  I love all things scary, am a particular fan of Asian horror, and when a well known fairy tale is added (though, here, only VERY roughly) you can count me in.
