Sally Stitch Comes Home to Stay.
Sally Russick, of The Studio Sublime sends us a prompt every week to inspire our photographic explorations. This week's was "Aged Beauty." Here's how she described it:
There is always something so intriguing about old things. Whether an heirloom or flea market find we are always intrigued by the back story of the piece that has caught our eye and the thrill of a possible story of family history, lost love or travel to forgotten worlds. In the rust is character, scratches and dents are their badges of courage and the bare metal exposed by peeling paint is acceptance of time.
Last week I was cruising Craig's List for yard sales, and standing off to the side in one of the pictures, was this beauty. Not so beautiful you say? Well and girl can dream, can't she? Think what she once was, and what she can become!

She's beautiful, dents and all :-)
ReplyDeleteSO did you buy her? I have a manniquin that I bought when Eaton's was selling out .. she's actually my size... her name is Prudence. She lives in an eligant long green dress. which unfortunately isn't a good backdrop for photographing jewellery against!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, she has found her home!
DeleteOh, she is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteOh she truly is an aged beauty!! I'd love to find one similar,...for a price I could afford, that is! LOL!! Please do keep us posted w/what you do w/her.

Bad hip, but still a beauty! Dress her up and have fun! Great find.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like you could have an awful lot of fun playing dress up and decorate.
ReplyDeleteOh Beti, she's gorgeous! I've been looking for one of my own, they're rare as hens teeth here (Australia). Have fun with her, just a little TLC needed reallly. She'll make a great jewellery backdrop!
ReplyDeleteLove your girl - I've been looking for one too :) have fun - I bet once she's carefully put together and dressed you'll have the most wonderful jewelry prop :)
