Mary, Mary...finally finished!

The life of a model....glamorous, exciting, thrilling......exhausting, tedious and perhaps even a bit boring! We don't really think of modelling as hard work.......professional models make it all look so darn easy, don't they. When I finished the Mary design from Rowan Magazine 54, I thought it might be fun to photograph it as a homage to the original photo...which is a bit edgy, a bit pouty....not at all me! My friend Renee accepted the challenge....so with camera in hand....and me doing my darndest to follow direction.....lights, camera.....shoulder up, knee out, suck it in.....hold it! This raised shoulder pose was very odd and with the out-turned knee...frankly uncomfortable... But it does give a bit of life to the short-row stripes... I decided to go for striped sleeves.....I picked a sequence that I liked...and repeated it. They  tie in with the stripe detail at the shoulder, don't you think? This sweater is a lot...

And the WINNER is...... Rowan Magazine 54 Giveaway!
