I am SOOOooooOOOoooooOOooOO in love with this image Jason shot!I think that he and I are the perfect team! We went to Austin for Alicia's birthday which was sooo fun, and the next day I saw some cool leaves on the ground at Dukes house and gathered some....I said I was gonna make a head dress...and I DID! I am soo proud of this one. I did the makeup and concept and Jason came up with all the lighting and everything...we are such an amazing team! When he edited the image I was paying so much attention to the makeup and hair that it took me a while to notice there were buildings in the background, which is amazing, because we shot it in his front yard on the ranch....there are no buildings for days...I think its the best image I have to date. I am so proud of him.I sewed the leaves in 4 parts...each with 3 leaves and then the single leaf that I put on the top...I drew my idea and colored it earlier today, but I never imagined it would come out so great. I mixed yellow and gold which I never had thought to do before...but it looked great. The gold is actually dust that I had left over from high school theatre...hehehe I keep all my makeup!
But it turned out amazing! I am doing my next shoot with feathers...gonna put them on my eyelids for eyelashes...I am working on the concept right now..I will have to wear a brown or black wig cause hot pink and black wont mesh with my red-hair, but I am certain it will be amazing as well...I am just so blown away with jason's talent. Our kids are gonna be so talented...it will be amazing...and red-headed...eck..heheheIt was so nice to see Alicia...she was so cute..she met my friends and we got to see Derek...they share the same birthday. At the end of the night we went to a piano bar and my friend Duke is friend's with the pianist and drummer so he told them it was her birthday...she ran up there when she heard them announce it and told them she HAD to hear the beatles...then she danced on the stage all by herself and then grabbed the mic and sang...it was to cute. She also grabbed my notebook and pen out of my purse and wrote me a note which was sweet, but she managed to get a pen mark on my 600 dollar dooney and bourke purse which is leather and white...which I had managed to keep white for 3 years...so I will always remember her birthday. hahahaI miss everyone so much...I hope that I can visit again soon...work is keeping me busy cause I try to pick up shift all the time so I can catch up on the bills....and save a little so I can move or maybe get married one day....not sure I will ever be able to afford a wedding. hehe, but I guess I am counting my eggs before they hatch cause he hasn't even almost asked....but a girl can plan can't she?
OK I love you all and I am gonna relaxe before I go to sleep...nobody wrote me about my cover page...kinda made me sad...I need to know who all wants one so I can be sure to grab enough.
Love you all
