Tattered

Just popping in to share some images from a recent photo shoot I did.

I had this concept of wanting to do a shoot with my tattered boas and neck pieces that looked like a Renaissance-era painting–but a bit “dirtied” up.

I had a special backdrop printed up.

I made pearl pins for the models hair, and picked out fake tattoos, make up styles and the hair style.

I got to work with some fabulous women, and I feel like we made some spectacular images!

Enjoy!

TnT Tuesday

I’m rolling out the Trapped In Time Tuesday feature again, folks.  Since it’s officially carnival time in these parts, I figured what better way to start than with a Mardi Gras accessory.

Image

This is a tulle boa, made from strips of tulle that I cut and sewed individually to a sturdy center strip.

Image

It has layers and layers of tulle sewn on both sides and is pretty fabulous, if I do say so myself.

Boa

A tulle boa for Mardi Gras.

006

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.

004

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)
