Spellbound

photos from Ellen Von Unwerth, Grimm's Fairy Tales and Buffy
One of my old favorite Halloween costumes and fairy tales(I love my red cape!), with some songs that are reminiscent of the day.

Hickory Wind

  

(We almost had Finnegan sitting still too, but he got distracted at the last minute, of course.)
Some film photos from recent times, and a few left over from the summer. Also featuring a few light leaks due to an accidental overexposure. That's why things get a little diana camera-y for a bit!  I hope that your weekend was lovely!

You can dream until you're blue but you can never top that

In the slight spirit of Halloween, as Teen Witch always used to be on TV this time of year! Also see the original.

I found love in the Fall and it did not hurt at all

I've been doing a lot of early morning and late night TV watching lately, due to not feeling the greatest. But as a result, I was reminded of this lovely Free Design song in the form of this video! I love the nostalgic animation and illustration style and think it suits the song perfectly. It just has a really nice feeling to it!

Postcards we're mailing of sky blue skies and oceans

Here is a commission that I just finished this past week. It's my second project surrounding a sort of "pirate" theme, but I had fun working on some different techniques and interpreting it slightly differently than I did a couple of years ago. I'd been wanting to do something with the "fishing lure" idea for a while too!
I hope that you're all having a nice weekend and start to the week!

There's smoke on my sweater

Playing for time

Here are a few of my favorite dresses that I've found while thrift shopping lately. Some of them have been altered and hemmed a bit as they were quite long and awkward fitting start with. My sewing skills are still very basic, but I'm learning by trial and error. Its been great practice for altering other clothes to sell/for clients, and I'm already getting a lot of wear out of them. The floral dress has been my uniform for a while, and they all really fit in with what I like to wear right now. With tights, of course. And sweaters and coats!
