Amsterdam Day 2- Return of The Spice
My second day in Amsterdam was so busy that any attempt to even take notes during the day was almost impossible, so please forgive me if this particular post jumps back and forth a bit while I put the day back together in my scattered brain. I might need to consult with Kai, Raven and River to get the order of things right, but if it’s in the wrong order I’m sure you guys won’t hate me too much for it. Kai and I woke up reasonably early on the second day, after a really dodgy sleep. The room was BOILING! Even with the windows open, there wasn’t a single…

Forest Fae- Photoshoot with Tacet Lens
I had the most beautiful photoshoot at the start of May, one that I’ve been desperate to do for a while. About a year ago I bought this cheap, but very pretty, deer mask off of Shein of all places. It had a very quirky feel, and reminded me of the Forest Spirit in Princess Mononoke (if you haven’t watched that film, go and watch it now!).

So, when organising my most recent photoshoot I simply had to go full spooky bitch to celebrate my favourite time of year! The photographer I was planning on working with is also a sculptor with loads of masks…

A Summary of 2021
So the Bells have rung and 2021 is now behind us, leaving me feeling reflective. I could be one of those people who are delightfully upbeat and optimistic about the idea of the New Year, with all the potential it could bring… but I’m not one of those people. You’ll get no resolutions from me in 2022, or in any year for that matter. If you can’t keep to a personal challenge the rest of the year, why would making one on January 1st be any different? I prefer to always strive to be a better throughout the year, instead. Enough of that though. This post isn’t about my views…
