My everyday life is often seen in photos.
Everywhere I am at I see things that could make into photos.
A blessing and a curse I guess because it doesn't ever shut off!
It also carries on into my dreams.
Dreams that are just bizarro and weird.
Some that make absolutely no sense....
then there are some that I think I MUST do that in a photo!

So the Marionettes were born....
somewhere along the line I saw something in life that spurred it into a dream
and I had to create it!
this is just a little taster because I know my models are dying to see how it all came out.
The bigger pieces will take some time.




more sessions and sneak peeks coming....

Sometimes as an artist you start to see the same things.
Images start to feel humdrum and look "samey samey" to you.
Thankfully I have wonderful photographer friends who come up with fun projects for us to help and inspire each other.
An amazing photog friend started The One Word project this week.
Each week we submit (to Flickr) a series of four photos based on the word of the week....
this week is sugar.



I hope that I would have thought of something with a bit of artistry.
BUT it just so happens that I am trying to lose that post-baby chub and I am missing my sugar!
So there it is.

I wanted to do powered sugar but instead I did this little number.
Cinnamon sugar on toast.
Delish.
Fills me with mounds of memories of my mom making me two slices of toast,
one with her homemade raspberry jam and the other with cinnamon sugar.
I tried it with Mr. Delicious but at the moment textures are a "YUCK!"
I hope one day that he loves it and it fills him with memories of warm toast and a mom who loves him so.

P.S. You can also purchases these lovely gems at my Etsy shop for a bright happy kitchen or a fun girls room!
