Backyard Photo Shoots

In my spare time I like to play with my camera. I love taking photos, particularly candid shots. Hopefully this year I'll get back into it a bit more. I just got a new job (only a trial) and if it goes well I'll treat myself to a new camera. But for now I'm using an old (it still uses AA batteries) Pentax DSLR that takes ok photos. Here are some shots of my stunning friend Shannon Komorr.

 

Game of Thrones Fashion Inspiration

I am in LOVE with the Game of Thrones, as much for the fashion as for the epic storyline. The costume designers really do go out of their way to create original and fantastic designs. 

These are my two favourite dress designs from the series and I'm pretty excited to have a go at DIYing something like them.

I have bought 2m of sheer black fabric and I'm hoping to create a dress in the same style as these two dresses in the sheer fabric with a black, bodycon strapless underneath. In my mind this is a stunning dress but who knows what will come out the other end.


I'm also planning to make a belt, kind of like the ones we see here, with the large metal clasps, but I want to make the rest out of neon perspex.


I'll post on the outcomes soon.

"Wow" Art

I once saw this great little drawing that says, "I could have done that + Yeah but you didn't = Modern Art" and that is quite true about a lot of today's art. And that brings me to the two below pictures. Isn't this just incredible! Such a simple but effective and gorgeous idea! I wish I had done it, and even more so I wish I could get some knives and tear up my walls at home!

Life is beautiful, and so is this typography. (And so is the movie!)
