My Puppies Over Hair Falls

I was going to be doing a blog about all the new Hair Falls I have been making and listing, but decided to wait until I get a hold of my model, she is so cute wait till you see her in my hair falls. I also have a cute kid to model for me too. I am thrilled to get the chance to show off all the new work I have been doing in that area, but today instead I am going to be sharing puppies!!

This was an interesting photo shoot, I was at a friend's house were on top of her three dogs, she was babysitting 2 dogs, and another friend brought over his for a total of 6 very active dogs!! This was not a full shoot as we had a birthday to celebrate but I am thrilled to have gotten some great shots of these very cute and very different pups!

First we have Alex, he is a gorgeous Yellow Lab mix, with the best personality as is the nature of his main breed



Tara is a pit bull, lab, and probably more, American Mutt, she is a doll, and such a character


Next we have Fiona she is a Chihuahua, and a little toughy, she is all boss




Buddy is one of the Pomeranians not helpful when it comes to sitting still for photos, but a big sweetie




Marshmellow who was the most photogenic of the day,




And Roxy, the Dachshund mix, who is a mile a minute, toe licker, crazy sweet pup




This is just a taste of what I took, I can't wait to share more here and on Flickr. I will also be selling some of these images on Etsy, some will be used to raised money for animal charities. I hope you enjoy these!

My newest photo shots

I thought besides sharing information about bath and body as I expand my blog and focus I would also give you updates on some of the shoots I have gone out on.

My recent trip was right after the new year, out to the desert. Living in Lancaster I am right on the edge between full blown Suburia and the open desert. It is so great having the ability to go out into this underappreciated enviroment.

My favorite time to visit the desert is in the Winter there is a strange feel to the desert this time of year with its solitude and gray tones. The sky has a deep blue tone that contrasts with the monotone colors of the desert floor.

I went out to a "hidden" location, it's a long abandoned stone building that might have been a house at one time, that sits off a well traveled road but because of its stone build it blends right in with the butte it sits in front of.

The sky was blue and the weather was good while I was out. I wandered and took pictures of the building the Joshua Trees and then came across trash piles. This makes me so sad. I hate to see the dumping out in such otherwise untouched nature.

I also took a few Macro shots mostly focusing on the dead Joshua Trees and the Cactus I saw. Most people think Joshua Trees are Cactus but they are not. They are really beautful and amazing trees. I have heard them called the Sentinels of the Desert and I love that thought. May favorite pair look like a couple dancing. This shot is of a natural heart in the bark.

I also went out to photograph a film location. One day when I was back in school I saw this building built so quickly that I thought it would be torn down after they used it, but over 15 years later it is still there and has grown to include a "gas station", "motel" and a small building up the road that is not a "real" structure more of a moveable shed type building.

These building have been used for Music Videos including R.E.M's Man in the Moon, Commercials, Movies including a Rob Zombie film, and TV including X-Files (they "blew" up this gas station). I love that these structures look old and get changed up every so often depending on how they are being used.

I love the desert and love to share its unique beauty with everyone, I hope you enjoy these shots, if you would like to see more please check out my Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairycatbath/

I will have more soon, including a bit on my new Roadside Memorials series.

My new series!

Ok I decided that when talking to friends that so many people really don't understand why we use certain products in bath and body. I also see some confusion in the market about what does what. This series is going to discuss the traditional and modern ways some ingredients are used, how they come about and information about the effect of the ingredient on the worlds people and environment.

The posts will be from me as well as outside shops. I hope to get as close to everyday for these posts as I can, so please check them out, and if there is any ingredient you are curious about please let me know.

The first part of the series will be completely on what do the terms mean on your bath and body labels and what is soap.

Getting a few things tidyed up before I go

Yup this weekend we will be out of town celebrating our belated Valentine's Day weekend. Sadly between my car accident and getting sick we had to put everything off, then when Johnny found out about the big Food and Wine festival in Solvang we decided to go this weekend. I am very happy I love good wine and food.

So before the weekend I am trying to get some more jewelry made up and possibly some buckles. I also hope to get some of the listed as well, but we will have to see how that all works out hahaha!

I also plan on taking my cameras this weekend, Solvang is so pretty and we will be driving up the Santa Barbara coast which I just adore. I hope to be adding some more pictures here and on Etsy.

So keep an eye out for new goodies and I am now off to pack, Later!

Working on a few things

Wow there is so much going on! We have CyberIndustries up and running one Etsy and will be adding some new pieces over the next couple days. Some of the new pieces will be made of memory, scsi ports, hard drives and more. Most are pendants and bracelets but we have plans for earrings and belt buckles as well, in the very near future.

Our baby Fairycat proudly has 50 sales over at Etsy and we couldn't be happier! I have officially introduced our new Tat. Cream for healing and reviving tattoos, something I have been working on and testing for a while now. I might be biased but I have to say I love it! I also am listing our fabulous lip balms on line for a short time (we won't do online sales of it during to the summer due to the heat) so check them out now!


I have plans to do the Renaissance faire circuit again this year our third year and will have a co-show with CyberIndustries at Bat's Day Pre-Event again this year. We hope to see you guys out there. If you aren't in our area don't worry we still will keep our Etsy shop full so you won't miss out on any of the fun!
