This week, I’m entering a time of refinement. I’m going to be making changes to a few aspects of my life, including my online presence.
At the moment I’m into sheer black garments, fabric manipulation, gemstone rings and 3D creature art.
Current Obsessions #20
I’ve decided to keep the current obsessions post going for a bit longer and see how they evolve.
This week I’m obsessed with lingerie and how to store it, ombre nails and making interesting, healthier deserts. I also really love this set of modern matryoshka dolls, I’d like to make something similar for my house.
Current Obsessions #2
This week has been about washed out hair, JC high tops, moonstone rings, eyebrows that are defined on the bottom and things that I can’t have. i.e. giant ombre chandeliers.
Gary Crozier Dolls
I’ve admired Gary Crozier‘s doll-like portraits for some years, since I was first asked to collaborate on a shoot with him. We have since made contact but didn’t manage to arrange anything so it was a nice surprise to get a message from him, nearly 2 years later, saying he was coming to Manchester and would like to shoot.
I thought his style would lend it’s self well to my new lingerie range, Persephone, which features a mixture of light and dark, delicate and edgy designs.
We shot in my studio and I invited 2 of my favourite girls to join in, Amber and Hannah. If you follow my work you should already be able to recognise them.
We had our hair tied back during the shoot and at the end Gary took close up pictures of twisted sections of our hair, which he then used to create the crazy, elaborate hairstyles you see in the pictures.
I’m really pleased with the results, I think Gary did a great job with the background and making each model look like an individual character. I really think these would make a good post card set. If anyone fancies themselves as a Gary Crozier doll, you can get a quote and some info here.
