icicles

Blue Winter by Robert Francis~
Winter uses all the blues there are.
One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
Another blue for shadows over snow.
The clear or cloudy sky uses blue twice-
Both different blues. And hills row after row
Are colored blue according to how for.
You know the bluejay's double-blur device
Shows best when there are no green leaves to show.
And Sirius is a winterbluegreen star.

I took pictures of icicles today and manipulated in photoshop (clickable for the full experience)...

mirrored images





I'm a tiny bit obsessed with mirroring photographs I take in Photoshop :P These were all taken in my backyard and then mirrored and manipulated. You can find me on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/labellesavage/ so feel free to visit me there or add me as a contact!

champagne dragonfly~necklace and earrings

I love this new set! I used champagne color cubic zirconia faceted teardrops and beautiful detailed dragonfly charms. A vintage ivory rose is added to the necklace along with asymmetrical accents of copper beads and delicate antiqued brass link chain. I've listed them in my shop seperately, as not everyone likes sets, but I'm hoping someone loves them enough to buy them together. I'm experimenting with a new photo background of grunge style handwriting. I think I like it as it adds to the vintage feel of my jewelry. What do you think?
