Picture This. . .

Imagine you're me.  And all of a sudden the realization hits you that you've pledged yourself to doing SHS each week, and then you realize that it's Sunday and THEN you realize that you really have no usable pictures (even by you standards, which are very, very loose.  I don't break the rules, I just bend them) and then it gets even better.  You realize that you are home alone without anyone or anything to take pictures of and the ONLY thing to do is a narcissistic photoshoot with your tripod and timer.  Oh well. 

 I bring you ME. Presented without comment.

(Don't worry they're not ALL of me.)

Scavenger Hunt Sunday is Back Again

In an attempt to make sure that my new-found posting power does not fizzle and die, I'm going to commit myself to doing SHS each week.  That way, there'll be at least one post a week, hopefully.  So, without further ado. . .  

Love: A pretty carnation from Valentine's Day.

Duplicate: This is a bit of (unfinished) embroidery

I've been working on for the last week or so.  It's based off  this beautiful bit of medieval art.

Trend: Bows are a big trend right now, and I have to say, this is one wagon I've jumped right on.  It's just an easy way to add a feminine touch.  Especially when you're wearing a thrifted man sweater (as I may or may not be in this picture).

Paper: Last week we had to read a book about illuminated manuscripts in one of my classes (that's where I got my embroidery inspiration).  So many beautiful and amazing pieces of art.  Wow.

Plastic: Okay, technically this is made of rubber.  But, in my defense, it's nearly 12:30 and I have absolutely nothing else for this one (due to my a-MAH-zing planning skillz).  So.  There.  It's a stamp made by my roommate's brother.  Pretty cool, eh?

Snow Makes for Lovely Pictures

On Saturday it snowed.  Big, wet, lovely flakes that didn't stick around for long, but made for a lovely photoshoot.  I grabbed Susanna, my roommate, and we ran outside for a photoshoot.

Two Posts

What is this madness, you ask. Two posts in the same lifetime?  It cannot be.  But actually, it is.  These are some older pictures that I took over Christmas break and I'm trying to update my portfolio, ya know?

Thanks to my model too.  Abby, whom you might recognize from her blog, is my sister.  And yes, these are from two different photoshoots.  Actually, we don't really do 'photoshoots,' we do 'hey the light's really cool right now get your shoes on we're taking pictures' or possibly 'hey it's snowing, get your shoes on we're taking pictures.'  Whichever.
