Rapunzel II
"Rapunzel II"

This incredible series of photographs by Dina Goldstein took my breath away at first glance.  In the project, Goldstein takes well known fairy tale characters and places them in modern day settings.  Like Cinderella getting soused in a dirty bar or Belle going under a plastic surgeon's knife.

Reaching Leaves Wallet
Lavendar Branches in Olive WalletChestnut Branches Pencil PouchBerries Wallet

For years now I've carried a tiny wallet that's just big enough to hold my cards and little bit of cash.  I love that I can hide it in a small pocket but the big problem is, it's easy to lose.  So lately I've been in the market for a large wallet, but always end up empty handed because, well unless I want to splurge, there's just nothing unique and fun...at least where I'm able to shop.

Tada!  Etsy to the rescue as usual.  These wallets (and pencil holders for us artistes!) from L&B Accessories are perfect.  They're big, that's for sure...but so gorgeously handcrafted that I wouldn't mind showing it off.

The embroidered wallets feature a design created by Patty.  The big one pictured up top is done on a natural linen/cotton fabric and the leaves wrap around to the back.

Each one measures approximately 8x4 (closed); has 10 card slots; a zippered coin pouch; three pockets for cash, receipts and checkbooks; a vinyl ID window and a magnetic strap closure.

Best part? Everything in the shop ranges from just $15-$55!  The wallets you see above are just $38 and the pencil case is $15.

First shoot (by RGP)

It's alright! I'm here! 

The last few days have been fun, new, interesting, mind numbing, crazy-making and all around quite an experience!  No, I didn't go to an amusement park or a trip overseas...I worked on my very first photo shoot/commission!

A good friend of mine is directing a new play here in the city called "Lyric Is Waiting" and he very kindly asked me to shoot production shots and the shot for the postcards and posters.   Every part of me wanted to back out and say "No way, I'm not qualified."  Now in hindsight I am thrilled I got over the nerves and did it.

The shot you see above is one of the pieces not being used.  It's a lovely shot (IMO) but definitely not giving off the right vibe for the play.  Once I get the actual postcard, I'll share it with you.

I'll be shooting the production shots sometime at the end of the month.  Between here and there I can finally relax and know that I got through my very first photo shoot alive. 

I'm also pretty sure I didn't embarrass myself too much.  Awesome right?

Wow wow wow wow wow!  This is an incredible collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess, two artists that "share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression."

You really have to head over to the LucyandBart blog where you can see the rest of their work.  Also check out their home page, it's just awesome.
