I finally had to throw myself and my camera out the door and take some new Self Portraits. Now, I need to do some more and some portraits of other folks. Why is starting always so hard for me? I mean-Every single time and every little thing hard? I guess it is my "process" or "style". I sure haven't been able to change it, no matter how hard, in about the last 20 years so I guess I will be living like this. So, here are some photographs from my "Enchantment" Series. My gorgeous Crown was made by Lorianne of Plumevine Jewelry and she made my Faerie Portal Necklace as well. I am also wearing a gorgeous "Phoenix from the Flames" cuff made by Firuzan Goker who lives in Turkey. And, I am wearing one of my favourite vintage pieces-an amazing gold and paisley print dress from the 1930s. Oh, and the little Faerie doll with me is one my own. This is the "Robin's Egg Blue" Faerie.

These photos are utterly lovely. I, too, have problems beginning... I also have problem finishing projects too. If you ever find the cure to these artistic ailments, let me know. :)
Your new portraits are so captivating and magical. I'm glad I've discovered your blog!
