lost in thoughts #53

Hey, hey! Welcome my 53rd inspiration post. This week I’m obsessed with animals. (It just might be because of some new designs I’ve been working on!) Gatsby the French Bulldog by Jen Huang How sweet is this puppy? Oh. My. God. I think I’m in love! If you know me, it’s no secret that I…

Thank you so much for visiting! I love the sweet, sweet photography of that little puppy.

Love these pics, just a beautiful way to shoot a pup. I’m taking some ideas away from this post for my next shoot. Thanks. I really enjoy this blog, still not sure how I stumbled upon it!

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I wish I had deer walking around my apartment in the mornings; that sounds just lovely!

Her love just bursts through — isn’t that wonderful? I don’t do animal pictures, but we have a small herd of wild deer that walk by my studio window early some mornings. It is mesmerizing to see them so close, how they pause and look around — how still they stand and then they bound away. Thank you “everything little miss for posting this on facebook.

She’s awesome, isn’t she? Glad you liked it!

Thanks for sharing the Sharon Montrose video! Apart from being totally awesome, I loved what she said about what happens when photography stops being a hobby to become a job! And btw, The Office is my favorite show too!! :)

Look AMAZING!! Congratulations!!!
DId you use regular glue?

it took a few days. i had to find a frame, paper, etc. the paper i used it isn’t origami paper, so i had to cut it all down to size, fold the cranes, and then attach them to the white paper. folding was a few hours, but i watched movies and tv. the attaching it to the paper was the tricky part, since i’d never done anything like that before.

i know! it’s a cool idea. i’d never heard of anything like it before, so i had to make it up as i went.

This looks awesome. How long did that take you?

wow! how beautiful and what a thoughtful gift!

working on: paper crane project

I’m working on a custom project that involves a lot of red paper cranes. I thought it would be fun to share this little sneak peek, since I’ve been spending so much time folding! I was contacted about making a heart out of paper cranes, and I thought it would be an interesting challenge. My…

That books is just amazing. I loved it. I will probably read it again. ♥

April, Bel Canto is one of my favorite books of all time. It’s so beautifully written. I have the first few paragraphs saved and often use it for dummy text when I’m laying out websites. Wonderful book.

Good call on the other items too, I like that animal bust.
