I don’t know why, but for some reason I have always thought that the idea of dying/sleeping in water is beyond beautiful and the most poetic and natural way to end a life. Probably because at the young ripe age of 12 I was fascinated with the character of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, that I always pictured it as finding eternal peace inside a flowery and watery grave.
For my Studio Art subject this coming year I am planning to re-create several scenes with my handy-dandy mermaid camera, depicting the deaths of tragic figures in poetry-mainly underwater.
This will be hard- because without a variety of expressive models/actors...this whole thing could turn into cheese. So I am placing an open call for any aspiring actors, models, swimmers, or just friends of mine who wouldn’t mind helping me out next year.
I want you to be in my photos, this would mean possibly getting wet and possibly being extremely close to a member of the opposite sex (romeo and juliet?)
So just zip me a message or comment on my facebook page if you would like to be involved, everyone I know is so beautiful and lovely, you could really bring something special to the shoot.
Of course this is all still in the planning stages, all I know is that it will involve water, flowers, and poetry.
Oh and, there will be a horse, not in water of course, that surprise is yet to come!
Here are some images that will be inspiring my work.
*Unfortunately this call is not open to my international readers, for obvious reasons. But feel free to leave comments with some of your ideas to make my idea better. I need all the help I can get.*
Thank you so much my darlings,

I have recently been watching the latest season of America’s Next Top Model, with this being the 17th season bringing back the all star contestants from past seasons and giving them another chance to “be on top”.
My favorite contestant of all time, has been the lovely Miss Allison Harvard, and I am excited to say she is back on this season and has a VERY good chance of winning. You might remember her as the awkward blonde girl with big (sometimes scary) doe-like eyes, but she has proved herself to be much more than that- winning key challenges this season and being one of the most memorable contestants.
I am writing this to not only compliment her as being a lovely person and beautiful model, but to say I really appreciate her outside of the show. Recently visiting her website where she posts her beautiful art and photography. I can tell she will go far in life whether she wins the season or not, a very creative force, and one that I admire a lot.

I adore any kinds of little critters, in real life or paper/fabric/cardboard form. I particularly enjoy little birds, I had stumbled upon these drawings a little while ago, and fell in love with them once more today.
Little Doodles is the darling artist/shop responsible for these little fabric and paper crafted birds. They feature all sorts of animals wearing spiffy threads and much more. Take a little time to visit their blog, or their cargo collective (that I linked above).
