Magic Windows #25

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

All dolled up in mermaiden pearls for Enchantment Under the Sea, Dances of Vice’s 4th Anniversary Celebration. It was my very first time to attend Dances of Vice, though I’d been wanting to go for years! Shien (the mastermind behind the magic) is such a perfect hostess, and puts so much thought and love into [...]

Magic Windows #24

Post photoshoot glitter & grime – from a beautiful adventure with the marvelous Darla Teagarden. The Tiger’s Wife, by Téa Obreht – I’m almost finished with it. It’s so good it makes me kind of sick. Ramona, my love – won’t you be mine? I want this, I want this, I want this – but [...]

Magic Windows #23

Sunday, August 7, 2011

To christen and complete my newly cleaned and decorated studio, I got a little half-moon Siamese fighting fish that Colin named Finnegan. He’s adorable. It’s been a long time since I had a fish. The last betta I had, Nico, was given to me by my friend Jentz when she went to Morocco. He had [...]

Sakura Honey

Monday, May 16, 2011

✸ I love these vibrant illustrations by A. Alexeieff for Russian Fairy Tales, from 1945 This bit from Eudora makes me want to track down a copy of my own: “These Russian tales are rambunctious, full-blooded and temperamental. They are tense with action, magical and human, and move in a kind of cyclone of speed. [...]

Magic Windows #14

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a Magic Windows post! I sometimes forget that I always have a camera on my phone, and even the pictures aren’t ideal, they usually come out good enough to share. Trying to capture the beauty I come across. To remember, to revel in it. The other night at a [...]

Blue Gold Red

Friday, July 9, 2010

I don’t know about you, but sometimes in the midst of these strange and shifting times I have to shift my focus away from the horrors and tragedies of this world and cheer myself up with a little frivolity and frippery. I’ve been far too busy for the longest time to ever document any ensembles, [...]

Winter Solstice – Messe de Minuit

Monday, December 21, 2009

Happy Winter Solstice, beloveds! It’s not especially chilly here yet, though it has gotten a little frost-spangled some nights, the tease of recent snowfall amounted to only a meagre flurry. That being said, I’m grateful to know that the days will be longer from here on out. The thin silver scythe in the sky and [...]

Strange Season

Friday, October 16, 2009

One of the many things I appreciate about Texas weather is the constant mercurial shifting between extremes. Honestly! I am, in so many ways, a creature of habit. I can easily get bogged down in work and routines, so perhaps that has something to do with my insatiable craving for variety. I require a steady [...]
