I Turn My Camera On...

For those of you who've had to bear with my overzealous Twitter updates about my new Holga 120N, here it is!

It's been a big week for soZealous! Not to mention Christmas on top of it all! I've had a great time making gifts for friends and family this year—including this little number!


Check out the full tutorial on how to make your own handmade feather band at Veritas Magazine.

And finally, the big culminating article this week, a "Made in DM" feature in Des Moines' Juice publication!


Thank you to all my shop lovers and everyone who's helped make soZealous a reality. Expect to see more of everything in 2009!

Merry Christmas to all and God bless xx

For those if you who have been wondering about my absence, I have been ultra busy preparing for Urbanestics Underground this weekend! There will be lots of lovely pieces for sale and new items in the soZealous shop after that. December will hopefully bring a little more consistency to all forms of web interaction for me.

Also in December will be a "Made in Des Moines" profile of me in Juice! I will post any updates on that as they're received.
