A Sea of Shells, Paint & Pearls



 So I wanted to do something unique for a shoot, so I put creativity to work &
came up with a plan to make the origin of Aphrodite come to life.
Goddess of Love, Born from the Sea.

I themed this shoot with the colours blue, turquoise, green & gold.
Aka the colours of the sea, or at least how I imagine them to be.
 
The making of Aphrodite's crown

 
 
Aphrodite's Sea Shell Bra

 
 
Step by step process of Ragnarok's work.
 


The detailing of Aphrodite's golden skirt filled with waves of starfish.

 
 I am very happy with the outcome of this shoot & all the amazing effort everyone put into it to help me out. 
With money paying for all the outfit supplies I think I dropped a little over $400.00 on this entire shoot, but was it worth it?
 100% I love how well everything fit together & how much support everyone has been giving me from just the one photo that we have released so far. <3
 
In 2013 I plan on crafting a heck of a lot more than I did in these previous years.
I love how I get to be so creative with my hands & then use these items in shoots, either as a model or as a photographer.
I have always been the creative type, but now it seems I am a little out of control ;)
 

 This photo shoot was done on October 9, 2012 in chilly 10 degree weather with a slight wind-chill.  
Born from the sea, I emerge as Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love.
(More photos from shoot coming soon)  
 
Special thank you to everyone who helped make this concept & shoot a success <3

Feast Your Eyes


I made this piece for my 2010 Halloween Costume

I was a Punk Zombie

I figured colourful dismembered body pieces, with eyeballs
& quirky saying would do the trick!

I bought everything except for the "pins" from the Dollar Store
& made this piece in about 2 hours or so!
It needed 2 clips to hold it in, as the body parts were not light!

Custom Business Card Holder


Ever notice how there are so many different sizes, shapes & styles of business card holders,
but NON of them seem right to represent & display your cards?
Well that's exactly how I've been feeling,
So I made myself one,
JUST FOR ME!


*This fancy lil card holder displays my cards at a local Edmonton Fabutan Salon*

Witch with a heart of Ice

This wonderful white crown took me over TEN HOURS of slavery to create for this shoot!
The base I started with, a cheap plastic headband

Food For Thought
