saturday

so yesterday and today i put together and painted the inside and outside of my new "image library" and then i cut the leather off a pair of shoes i've never really enjoyed wearing to use it for my portfolio. it feels pretty awesome. just waiting for the paint to dry to file all the magazine tears, sketches and swatches . .. 

and below are a couple more from new years eve, one more i really like of the steam and the other one of Dom, Jenn and Stephen, you can see how cold we were, Jenn's wearing a fur hat and still has her hood up! everyone with red noses and cheeks . . .

my new years eve, bee hive dress

vintage silk satin with coat weight wool, fully lined in silk taffeta!

and as it turned out, with wind chill it was negative 5 degrees as we watched the steam whistles. but fun was had.
cheers to 2009, may it be full of many blessings for everyone!
