Plush Fairy Party Favors!!

I just finished an order of 25 little fairies for a wonderful lady!! Actually it was for her 2 year old daughter. I have to say...it was so nice to be sewing little fairies for little girls...so sweet!!
I started by cutting all of the bodies out of a new felt I just purchased...it is a soft blush pink color, which I love. I don't like too bright of a pink for my dolls! It has to be just the right color!!
Next, I sewed all of the embroidery on the faces. They each have their own personality!!

The dresses are from a variety of pink and white patterned fabrics...a lot of roses!! Some polka dots.

I hand sew each doll together, stuff them and then add the hair which is also hand sewn on so it is secure.

Next are the soft ribbon wings. If I had had more time I would have added flowers and ribbons to the wings...Next time!!
Thank you all for looking!!

Whiskerino Polaroid

So while at the Throwdown I took a bunch of polaroids and film shots of a bunch of the beardos. Here's the curator of all of whiskerino, Michael "Mackle" Eades.

I can't wait to unlease these shots when they are all done.

Whiskerino favorites (a few anyway)

Whiskerino draws to a final close (sadness abounds) and I thought I'd post a couple of favorites. These are all David and me for now but I'll have another post of shots of Alan and Kevin.

Top left is a shot of David for mug shot day. It's two exposures on one sheet of 4x5 film (for a classic look). To the right of that is a shot of me using said 4x5. David took it but the concept was mine so I'm including it.

Under that is a really wide one for zoom-sneak day (which is where there is extra goodness outside of the normal view such that you have you zoom to see the whole shot). The normal shot looked like him with light shooting out of his hand. The full shot Rob and I are shooting him, for some reason. Or trying, rather.

Next is me trying the flying Mackle. Next to that is David becoming the hunted. This one won king beard.

Last is a shot of David for "flash trash" day which made about as much sense to all of us as it may to you.

I cannot explain how great whiskerino was this time and I'm not even going to try right now.

By the way, these are all basically photoshop free. By that I mean I probably tweaked exposure for effect but we didn't like, add something in or fake anything.

Jason Wallis

Jason Wallis is a solid dude. This pretty much can't be argued with as his life's goal I think is to provide for his family and be awesome.

I dropped by today for a little advice for an upcoming shoot and I enjoyed the outcome. Here is a random shot of him.

Whiskerino preview

Here is a quick preview of a post I'm going to do on whiskerino soon. It ends at the end of the month and I'll post my favorite shots I've taken / been in for these last four months.

For now I'm at dinner at The Dog and heading toward the whiskerino throwdown and will surface next week. Ha.

Enjoy your weekend.
