Back to making stuff

After a hiatus making a new human, I'm back to making jewelry and art. :)

Finally back to making stuff

Life changes...

I've been gone for almost a year and a half now... Life has taken some strange (but amazing) turns.
I got divorced. We grew apart and we get along better now than we ever have.
I started back to school for a different degree. It's hard being a student with a full time job and family but I'm managing. :)
Toad started college. 
I fell madly in love and now I have a beautiful little blended family. It's been kind of crazy and a bit surreal.

Shooting makes me happy

I had an amazing shoot yesterday with Bob, I am in love with the shots. He's a magic man. :) We'll be shooting again soon. The location won't be around forever.....

Run for you lives! Zombie Run 2013

Toad and I went to the Run for Your Lives So Cal yesterday. It was amazing We are going again in March. For the uninitiated, it is a 5 K run and you can either be a runner or you can be a zombie who attacks the runners. Obviously, we were zombies. 4 hours of running victims. It was epic.

Prior to make up.

After make up, before the blood.

After the run

All tuckered out. Killing runners is hard work.

Thrashed after many hours of eating victims.

Weddings make me cry apparently

Our dear Eli got married this weekend to an awesome woman (Vanessa). I got all teary eyed. That's never really been an issue before, I guess the 30's are making me soft. :) In any case, great ceremony and so much happy stuff.

Me and Honeye

Vanessa and Eli, so happy. :)

New shoot

I've been working my ass off with crazy weight training... literally and figuratively. In any case, I had a shoot recently to benefit breast cancer research and we had studio time to play with afterward. So I played.... The thing I am most happy about is that these are "raw" images, meaning low res, no photoshop. Yep, that is my abs without digital help. :) Not bad after 3 kids.... :)

Painting

I've been painting. I keep forgetting to take better pictures before I mail them off... In any case; family and friends have worked out a first call dibs, first served with the paintings that aren't being sold. :) These are some friends and family ones from the last couple months.

The Ball 2013

We had (as usual) an awesome time. The ball was as always, an experience.

My Toad, as the Cheshire cat.
