I always enjoy seeing another medium used with photographs. I have seen photographs drawn on, painted on, burnt, sewn etc before but these are just stunning. I wish that I could touch my screen and feel the textures!!

Work

I don't normally show work on my blog. It's weird I blog and all my life is basically an open book, yet I don't really go in to what I do for a job on here. Maybe I should?

Here's a shoot I did this week. No foundation - just eye make up. Freckles came out for a play!

Hope you're all having a good day!

Strangeness and Charm

Sorry for the crappy iPhone photos - before we started doing this little DIY I didn't think that it could in fact be a blog post...Then suddenly as we were removing the Masonite and nails from the backing I thought "Woo, DIY blogpost ya'll". I didn't have time to grab my camera etc - Jonathan was just moving too fast for that. He is some kind of DIY machine.

So here you have it. What used to be a tapestry piece in an antique frame is now an illustration that Jonathan drew for me! Please note: It is not a portrait.

To make your own at home you will need:

• An antique frame or any frame you like
• A Stanley Knife
• Thick cardboard from an art shop to make you Map board
• A metal ruler
• A pencil 
• A hard surface to cut on. DO NOT USE CARPET!!

How to:

• Using the backing board from your selected frame - measure out and pencil in the size of your cardboard/ map board. Draw two vertical lines from corner to corner to determine your center-point.
• Center your artwork and pencil in the size on the white side of your card board.
• Measure in 1cm in from your artwork line to ensure your artwork is held in place
• Using your stanley knife and metal ruler cut along your lines and then remove the excess
• Place map board on top of artwork and place them both inside frame
• Put backing on frame and voila! You're done.  Pretty damn simple.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! I can't wait to show you some new stock this week!

Thanks for my present J!
