New Hairdo!

Sometimes, life enters a time of transformation and rejuvenation. I starting to switch things up so I can focus more on my creative work, and less on the 87 part time jobs that I seem to succumb to when financial panic sets in.

To celebrate the occasion, I went to see my good friend Michelle Donnelly at Hair to Dye For in Easton, PA. She is the only person I trust to do anything near my hair!
Here are some fun process photos!

Ladies and gentlemen, my hair now gives me the ability to be seen from space!

Portable Studio

As some people know, I have been traveling lately. My first stop was in Georgia, where I worked at the Georgia Renaissance Festival, and tried my best to make a game plan of how my company will move forward if I can devote more of my time to it.

While in Georgia, I felt it was important to bring my studio with me, and thus I had a space that met my creative needs! I got a big rectangular tent with lots of headroom, and set up a U shaped work table, and lots of space for yarn!

It is hard to take photos of such a small space, but hopefully this will give you an idea! I am an enthusiast of tiny houses and tiny spaces, and I loved having a space all to myself to create things in!

Some Roadtrip Evidence

Not much to report yet, other than that I am setting up my studio, and training a lot for my job down here. For the rest of this week I should be finishing up some deadlines I brought along with me, so that I can hopefully get them out of the way. Then I can focus on my own work, which was one of the main reasons I came down here.
Maybe by the time I get back up north, I will have developed a ready to wear collection!

On the Road

My little snake Spectre and I are on the road! We are stopping at Croton on Hudson so I can squeeze in a last minute modeling job before I go, and then I am on my way to Georgia! My van is completely filled with the contents of my studio, and probably weighs as much as a schoolbus. Or a medium sized elephant. In any case, I will be focusing on production of my collection while I am in Georgia, both current and new, so stay tuned for more developments in my online shop!

The two photos with large rocks in them are of Columcile, a monolith park in Bangor, Pennsylvania, which is where I was yesterday, with Sarah Mariah, and Michelle Donnelly.

Road Trip

As much as I'd like to slip out the back door without anyone noticing, I suppose I should warn you all that my camera, all my supplies, some sewing machines, my lovely snake Spectre, and I will be taking a roadtrip for the next month or so.

It is time to "refresh my feed" so to speak.

I definitely will be blogging as much as possible about my adventures, and the idea is to add to my Etsy Shop as much as I can. I will be trying to focus on production as much as possible, as well as getting away for a while.

I am now one step closer to my dream of having an art studio on wheels...

Some Shots from the Lookbook

My lookbook from the Joan of Arc collection is still going through some editing, but here are a few photos of my lovely muse, Sarah Mariah, on the way to one of our last shoots for the collection.

This shoot was pretty nuts because it was done the same morning as model casting for fashion week. So we had to do hair and makeup, and shoot 4 outfits, all before jumping in the car to go into Manhattan to cast for the show!

Stay tuned for the lookbook to be out soon! Makeup designed by DS Crystalline.
