Lets do this, with strands of bead

So, It seems I need an artistic outlet. Ive begun doing some modeling gigs for fun lately and I really enjoy it. Last Saturday I worked with Visioluxous in the Industraial MLK area of Portland. We got a couple really interesting shots and had a total blast doing them. It was so refreshing to work with a real artist. I'm getting tired of people who only want to take pictures of pretty girls and bring nothing artistic to the shoot. Eliza is such a thrill to work with, I showed up to the shoot with absolutly no idea what concept we would be doing for the day. Once I arrived and she got a look at me she opened up a trunk full of fabric and literally made my skirt out of a curtain by safety pinning it to me. Then she hand cut each strand of beads and made my jewelry. She designed my makeup and hair and we set to began shooting in her new studio. Truly an artistic day.
