I Bring You Photography!

Yes, I am working ...er obsessing on my Elsa dress.  I am almost finished the bodice I just need to make some bias tape.

Anyways I decided to take a day off, because
A. I needed it
B. It was Sunday

So instead of cutting fabric into strips and sewing them together I did some photography:

 pinning the lining of Elsa's bodice.

 Natural lighting and random fabric backdrop 

 Sarah brought me this necklace from Africa, is it fabulous or what?

Also I've been dying to put on war paint.

 I cleaned up my desk so I could take a picture of it. 

Pretending to write, because I want to write 

but I don't have any words in my brain. 

The Flickr Friday word was 'jet lag' so I took this photo.

Also, why on earth to my bangs feel like they have to stick straight out?

This concludes this post about photography. :)

Next sewing project

This

Plus this:

Makes it really easy to figure out that my next project is this dress:



I have no idea how it's going to turn out, but here's hoping that it's nice!
I have most of the pieces I need to start, so I'm thinking today or tomorrow I'll get going.
*excitement*

Traveling back to Turkey

Despite of being awake for about 26 hours, traveling back home was a breeze. Here are the pictures I took along the way.

 The Calgary airport 

 OK, traveling with just the three of us just became cooler.

 Ravioli for supper on the first plane

 ...And brownie for dessert. 

Hands down this was the best dessert I've ever had on an airplane.

 I watched two movies and two tv shows, because I couldn't sleep.

 Mountains in Greenland, much cooler in person ;)

Lunch!

GIANT cloud near Istanbul.

Photo Shoot: Buddies

 

 Once upon a time on a rainy day in early September, there was a photo shoot. This photo shoot took place at the library, and the garden beside it. The people who took part in this photo shoot, were best buddies Quinne and Nicole. 

 We found a tree

Also, there was a bench.

 

 

...And then it started to rain, so we went inside.

 Love you Quinne (:

....We got stared at while we took this picture

Photo Shoot: Princess Anna

I bought a cheap red wig from Value Village's Halloween section, and made it in to Princess Anna's hair. Of course then I had to have a photo shoot.

 Fake freckles with stage make up. 

 I feel like this shoot would have been cooler if there had been snow on the ground.
Oh well, I guess I have to come back ;)

The wig didn't fit me quite right, so I had to keep tugging it into place. But all in all it was very entertaining to have red hair :P
