Weaving flower fairy crowns

It's school holidays at the moment and I am trying to make the most of having all three kids at home, I have been trying to keep them entertained with special activities. Making flower crowns was definitely up there as one of their favourites.

So easy, beautiful and good for the soul creating outside.

We foraged all the flowers and vines from our own garden in a beautiful basket, we then wove the vines in to a circle and added the flowers, weaving stems in to place.

They only last one day but what a magical day that is!

“All of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea – whether it is to sail or to watch it – we are going back from whence we came” 

– Kennedy J.F

A list of emotions and feelings I wrote for myself to inspire the self portraits in this photography portfolio.

I found multiple exposures in camera and in photoshop helped me allow these images to come together exactly as I imagined them to be.

This was a journey for me difficult at times but completely liberating.

The biggest reason I enjoy study is that it pushes me outside of my comfort zone and forces me to attempt projects I might never have tried.

Express, embrace, accept, admire, love your true self.
