grand opening

currently stuck in my head all weekend: "it's not easy being green" by cave babies

model: Leah Damour
photography, styling, hair, and make up: moi

so i thought i'd share on of my most treasured mediums of art... needlepoint! i have a few portraits and landscape pieces that i have collected over the year to hang on my galleria of artwork in my bedroom. one of my favorite artists by far is the brains behind "made by hank". my banner is actually a piece from one of her earlier collections that i really adore.


aren't the themes wonderful? and if that isn't enough she also make these handmade, one-of-a-kind bags that are something special you can treat yourself to on her website: http://madebyhank.net
