Rest of the #waterislife pics…

Rest of the #waterislife pics…

Here are the rest of them, they can be found here and I will post some too:

The NODAPL support pics  


A pretty Asian tea cup that we love.  I thought the colors would look pretty against the glass balls! 

This is our Alice in Wonderland tea set.  The teapot rests on the cup for storing, a very cute set.

here is a view of the cup, kind of hard to tell the design since I wanted to capture the water inside more then the design...

This brass one is so pretty.  I really love the way it looked in this shoot!  

Below shows the setup used.  I laid down an old shower curtain then put the black planks onto it.  The planks are extras from a shelf used to hold dvd's.  The glass balls are ones I bought to craft looks for my "Unangan" inspired movie props.  At first we tried to keep the clear on one side and the blue ones on the other but as I dropped them into the cups they got mixed up and looked very pretty!  My Arri light is shining up at the ceiling and bouncing down (barn doors help to contain the light) with a white diffuser on the left side in some and the back side in others.  

I want to get into food photography and plan to make a DIY light box but have not done it yet.  I am still organizing the craft room.  This final shot is showing the bokeh the lens can do.  It can do really pretty bokeh but this angle was nt the best I guess.  It looked very pretty on the computer then it does here.

First Onesie done, almost!!

First Onesie done, almost!!

Yeah, the first one is done except for the hood and animal markings!  Phew!  lol, it is so bad though, half the time I forgot to turn it inside out so half the stitches show…  ah well, it is meant to be worn in the dark so…  :p

 It is a snake one so I am wondering if something like this would work…

the belly is a golden one and maybe the tongue will be too :p  But prettier eyes somehow…  maybe like they do those cake ones with the little white reflection.  In case you have not noticed, I am addicted to the "  …  " !  Not sure why, but it seems to pop up instead of a period too often!

Once it is completely done then I will post a pic of it.  I am working on some crowns right now too!  One is a mermaid one and the other a flower one.  I am taking pics of the stages but I seem to run out of time too quickly!  

The mermaid one should be very cool!  I hope it comes out like I picture it in my mind!  I just started it though so maybe before Friday I can have them done.  

I was so excited to see support for the #NODAPL by The Vegan Zombie.  I am what I call "turning vegan" like I used to be "turning Vegetarian" because I still ate pepperoni pizzas once in awhile.  Now i use butter sometimes still.  My daughter can't handle the oils of the vegan kinds so we are trying to figure out how to become vegan.  It is hard to love butter and hate how the animals are treated because of my love of it!  

I love this channel, both of the guys are good and show some yummy recipes.  We got their cookbook and tried a few of them even!

We are running out of time for the doll prank but hopefully can get it completed in time!  The idea was to sell it right before Halloween because I am afraid it will "get me" on that day…  

I am making this a shorter one then usual since I plan to pin the next onesie to get it ready and it is already almost 4am here.
