Coyote Priestess

Here is a nice series of photos of the Coyote Priestess costume. I took advantage of a few industrial areas over the weekend and I think that the results are perfect. As urban sprawl takes over the...

Double Circle Skirt!

My double circle skirt is finished! It was a BIG undertaking and I'm very happy with it. I'll have to keep working with it to maximize the movement and flow that it's capable of. For now, I had to ...

Monokini Photos

I went out and took some more photos of myself in my very favorite swimsuit.  A Rudi Gernreich Monokini.  I didn't want the Summer to pass by without a chance to wear it!

Work in Progress

The double circle skirt is underway! It takes a lot of time working with this much fabric! Slow going. This first half of the skirt is a complete circle itself. The second half is on my sewing mach...

Hot and sunny by the river!

It's hot and humid in Georgia in August. There's no way to get away from it. Even a stroll by the river is hot and sticky no matter how little you wear.

BOOM!6 is complete! Inspired by and as a compliment to BOOM! 5 that was done in a different medium (textile). I did a bit of paper mache! Which can be a long process. It’s difficult to tell with ...

Behind the Scenes of a YouTube video

This is the footage that I shot while walking to the location for my latest YouTube video.  I shot this with my phone not the 360 camera for ease of upload.  I got back to the cave, butto...

360 walk!

Take a look around as this strange walk keeps getting stranger!  I took a walk with my Samsung 360 camera.  I start off in a cave and end up wandering past all sorts of horrible things! &...

I like to mix things up and work with a variety of media! After sewing the circle skirt, I've given it a custom dye job. This is the 5th BOOM! in the series!

Dancing

Dancing like there's nobody looking! 

A good beat makes me joyful. It resonates with my soul, and my limbs can't help but be part of it all!  

Bend through the knees!  View Post

Work in Progress

I spent the better part of the afternoon tie-dying the circle skirt! I had some assistance from the local moths/butterflies.

Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be able to rinse and dry and see what i...

The potential of dramatic movement in a circle skirt is always a plus! I just completed designing, cutting and sewing this one. 

But this is merely a blank canvas! This circle skirt isn'...

Movement in a Circle Skirt

There's no doubt that a circle skirt is dramatic, but to really emphasize how dramatic, there has to be motion. 

Here, just a few moments of carefree dance to an old Hispanic folk song c...

Woodland Labyrinth

On a hot and sticky afternoon, I walked along a path I've never explored before. It twisted and wound between trees and over hills. I could hear the roar of the river nearby. 

Then I saw...

It’s hard to tell at this point, but this will be a full circle skirt! I have yards and yards of plain white cotton fabric. I also have an abundance of fabric dye. The dye gives me the ability to...

A compilation of photos set to music!

I am a self portrait artist. As such, I take a lot of photos. Some photos ultimately become the inspiration and references for paintings. Most though, help my creative process in other ways. <...

Sewing, dying, photo shoots, and album covers!
