SWEET

You all seemed to like the cream whip rings in my previous post a lot, so here's some more sweetness for all you sweet theeth out there:


I've stumbled upon the great works of Kristen Lepore on some forums and blogs lately. I love stop motion animations you know!

(And as usual I go a little bit crazy thinking of all the work behind the small masterpieces.. You can check out a quick making of for this film here :)

POLKA DOTS, TEXTILE CUPCAKES AND CELL PHONE PICS

A couple of days ago I took the train trough a beautifully white and shimmering winter landscape to Tampere to visit my friend and fellow burlesque gal Olivia Rouge. She is also aprofessional seamstress and I picked up two items tailored for me. Olivia's working space is for the moment situated on the small loft in Vaudevillle Boutique. She has recently developed her webshop so why not sheck it out. International orders have to be emailed separately though.

Skirt lining being cut out (and I'm not that impressed with my new mobile phone's camera).


Polka dot skirt developing!

Vaudeville Boutique has delicious muffin pin cushions and cream whip rings! (And I'm almost impressed by new mobile phone's camera now!)

SAILOR CHERRY, BURLESQUE KAHLO & BEACH PICNIC SHOOT

On Saturday we got up early and took the train to a studio out of town for a photoshoot.

Some of the "Sailor Cherry" props. My stuff, that is :)


Blushing the cheeks.


Lunch, shoes and such.


Hey ohoy! and on with the hat.


Set up.


Waiting.


Some more waiting...


Waiting for the ride home.

ATELIERI O.HAAPALA EXHIBITON

Most of you who read my blog should have become familiar with Atelieri Onyxei Haapala and their steampunk-y cabinet portraits by now. (Seen here, here and here.) Now you can see all the portraits taken during the project, over 800 pieces, exhibited at The Finnish Museum of Photography. The opening is on Tuesday night, the 26th!

If you're somewhere else and won't make you can view all of Onyxei's and Helmut's photos on the Atelieri O.Haapala Flickr page.
