Amber Nichole As "Nancy"

I don't know what it is about this picture, but I have so much fun with it! Working on some concepts for a new front page. I love the original one! Don't want to change it! But somehow we have to show more of what we do on the front page.

From Rendering to Reality

Just showing the process of a drawing, concept to the finished creation. I started this design back in 1995. I finally got it on a body and shot 15 years later. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and can't wait to see what Mary RC comes up with for a background. Thanks go to both amber Nichole and Robert for making this particular design come full circle. This Dress has travelled quite a bit to get here. I remember hand sewing the jet beads to the lace in a balcony of an old theater in Maine. It was dark. I was sitting next to a good friend, Gaylord, whild she knitted. She still tells me to this day when she pulls ut that shawl she still looks for a discarded thread from this costume in her shawl.

Photo Shoot "Behind the scenes"

Behind the scene photo of our girls "goofing" off! This is from the most recent shoot we did with Robert John Kley, http://www.rjkphoto.com/ . Our Make up artist/Web designer Mary Rockwood-Crabtree, http://www.maryrc.com/ , is editing the photo's and preparing them to go up on the site. We have added a Theater Line, a Vintage Line as well as a 17th and 18th Century Line. I will post a couple of the un-edited photo's as a teaser for now.
