Feather Girl behind the scenes!

Wednesday afternoons are officially known as 'Merry's art afternoon'.
It's that time of the week when I grab members of my art class, dress and make them up and dub them models.

After the photos I did with Hannah and Izzy, people are volunteering - which makes it a lot easier! I didn't even have to bully anyone into letting me dribble lipgloss down their face, which was a surprise!

Neva was adamant that she would get to do the 'feather girl' shoot, which was fine with me! We spent about an hour getting her ready, I got very covered in glue and feathers - but then so did she!
The dress and belt were bought separately off ebay, but came to less than £5 together, which I was pleased about. The feathers were a fantastic buy that only cost $40, unfortunately, about $30 of that was shipping! There were a bunch more different feathers that we didn't't use, might have to save those for another day!

Anyway, here are some behind the scenes photos for the day!

Cat was lovely and did Neva's hair - having short hair, I really struggle to create hairstyles for people. That, and hair freaks me out a little...

Another WIP of the hair - before the addittion of many many feathers!

There was very very little sun, and a lot of wind. And the feather fringe that we were using as a collar kept on flying about and getting stuck in Neva's lipgloss...

In search of sun! Katie came out and joined us. (Because I'd overrun and Katie was waiting to go home with me and borrow a dress...)

Because we're cool like that.
And not immature at all!

And some finished photos!...
