I didn’t get to take any photos today, and thought I would skip posting…but then I remembered a few photos I took of souvenirs! They are all stuff we bought on the drive home, so the last day. We also have a Monster Museum tee, Piggly Wiggly t-shirt, dog bowl, more fabric, shells, shells, and shells.
The top photo is the goods from Fancy Gap Fabric and Pottery Outlet. Fabric which was all 3.99 a yard, plastic/acrylic quilt block shapes which were .29 each, metal embroidery hoops (you may recall my leaving behind remorse-so I was happy to find these), beads, top hats, etc. Not pictured is the plastic mushrooms I got (and already blogged about), more ribbon, and some cute small plastic animals + deer.
The bottom photo is all the goodies we bought at South of The Border. Tanks, a smoking grenade, poppers, sparklers. We go for the mild stuff. A sticker and the fan pull, which will be added to our Christmas decorations.
Today has been a day of sewing upon sewing. I have a show coming up next month with my good pals Jenny Harada, and Spooky Daddy. You might remember our previous trio show Forest Party from 2008. Well the new show is going to be at Genuine Artikle in New York, on August 22nd. I will post much more about it as the date gets closer.

Tomorrow, I will start to check off the list of things I said I would do during my trip. Finally unpacked and bought a bed. My bedroom actually looks like a bedroom now and I'm starting to live despite barely keeping my head above the water at times.
My roommate Renee introduced me to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - how could I not have heard of them before? If I was capable of love, I would be in love with this woman (Karen O)...or at the very least, marry her for her money.

I just got a Asahi Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm 1.4. These of cores were shot at 1.4 but I do plan to stop down next time. Maybe to 2.8 or 4. I love the surreal look it gives at 1.4 though. I love this lens!!!

| The white box |
[Jul. 18th, 2009|08:51 pm] |
I spent some time with my new light box today. It makes the very hard task of the pure white background easy, and lets me focus on getting the picture I want.

That shot would have been Very Hard without the ability to light the white backgorund from underneath.

Been so uninspired lately, haven't posted her in a while. This boring picture of my face is all I've got.
