The Heart is finished. I was playing around with the camera this afternoon trying to work on ideas I’d had for such a shoot. I’ve been waiting for some technical assistance since I am somewhat dunce-like when it comes to taking the pictures I want. The ideas are there though. Well, then there are happy accidents like this one where soft sculpture transcends into a photo.

heart, 2010

The soft sculpture will be up on Etsy tomorrow.
Happy Valentines (weekend) day!

A few weeks ago I asked a friend to pose in some of the dresses I am selling on my Etsy store All are vintage finds I have accumulated and made slight repairs to. The whole experience was new to all who participated. Henry signed on to photograph so I took care of the details: where the model would stand, poses, dresses and accessories. It was such fun. I did feel bad I wasn’t selling parkas and warm wooly mittens because Jessica was SO cold.
I did bring her things like big furry boots to keep her tootsies warm while waiting for various adjustments.

And then we took them off…
