I've been recurring-ly ill, the latest being a throat infection, but have been researching into anything that catches my interest to take my mind off feeling awful!
Most recently (on an ill staple - day time television), I heard about a really interesting pair of ladies, cousins, who travelled the world and built the most wonderful house. Here's a short article.
On Wednesday I dragged myself out of my flat to attend a photo-shoot - I was both model for a friend, and stylist on my own shoot. I have to admit that I much preferred the latter! We had 15 minutes with a photographer to create a front cover look for our own magazine cover. My theme is 'Sci-Fi Safari' and I wanted to create an edgy look like you might find on cover of Dazed & Confused, i-D or V magazine. Thankfully finding a suitable model was easy - my friend Gemma had the perfect elven features I was looking for to create a striking head and shoulders shot. I want the cover to be more about the idea of the trend, rather than about specific clothes, which is why I chose not to do a full body shot. I used eye pigments to create a reptilian look on the eyes, and bronze pigment on the forehead and shoulders to add that science fiction feel. We get the photos on Monday, so I will be posting a few then, along with the finished cover hopefully!
