Thanks Jen!

I bet in some long ago time period there was a reason to build a random arch on a path (apart from the delight taken when people bang their heads.)

 

I think bricks are less the building blocks to civilisation than foundations in compact necessity of erroneous hobo declination

Hott, right?

 

On an unrelated note, while taking the train to work this morning, someone said that my moustache was bigger than his dog.

She is sitting down. She's not quite that short. Honest :o)

Dorothy's House and the Ruby Slippers

The new display case for the Ruby Slippers makes for a much better photo than how it used to be!

My mom is a great needle & fiber artist. She made these Ruby Slippers (she is a big Wizard of Oz fan), and they were on display at the airport as we came back in from our vacation.

This is a pair of Ruby Slippers worn by Dorthy (Judy Garland) in the 1938 Movie the Wizard of Oz. They are displayed at the Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

I made these ruby slippers to go with my Dorothy costume.

My 3 year old daughter Tyrin and her ruby slippers. She's a big fan of Dorothy (wizard of oz). and I'm a big fan of the wicked witch of the west! :D

These socks were knit from my own pattern, which I really don't consider a complete success. I was trying to design something that would work well with handpainted yarns, but I didn't really achieve my desired effect. The stitch pattern I used (I thought it was "Checkered Acre" from Barbara Walker's first stitch dictionary, but upon closer inspection, it's not, so I don't know what the stitch pattern is, except something that I jumbled up) is highly textured. For this reason, I kept the patterning on the leg only, and went with a 3x3 ribbing on the foot. Otherwise, I think the socks would have been terribly uncomfortable in shoes.

05/2010: Normally, I like to change things up a bit when making a cake with the same theme, but I'm in love with this design and couldn't change much...the last one was made several months ago! The cake is all White Almond Velvet with Chocolate Buttercream filling and iced in Vanilla Buttercream. The details were made from gumpaste and then hand-painted. The poppies and yellow brick road are made from fondant. The ruby slippers are gumpaste that was coated in Ruby Red disco dust (IMO, the PERFECT color and sparkle for ruby slippers!) And yes, the cake board is covered in fondant...someone PLEASE remind me how hard that is when I go to do this cake again! :)

So did anyone else have this much fun taking down their Christmas Tree?

 

A few points to mention. Firstly massive props to Damian in helping me with this shot. We carried the entire Christmas Tree up the stairs fully decorated with lights on and set it up in the spare room. I had the idea for this shot at some stage over Christmas but I hadn't quite worked out the logistics. Given that last night was the Twelfth Night, there was only really one point at which I could nail this so we decided to go for it. Or rather, Damian knew I wanted to do it and kept me motivated and on track.

 

Interesting sidenotes:

 

This 366 project has just gone into it's 7th year SEVEN, it was supposed to be wrapped up in ONE!

 

I had attempted to shoot the entire project on a 50mm prime lens, and this is the first time I strayed from that and used a 16-85mm. The 50mm whilst sharp was just too close, and without the possibility of physically being able to get any further back (without risking the whole composition) I decided to embrace a zoom lens.

 

This is the second time I have used this title on my Flickr stream. The first time was during the 365 project (you can see that one here that I did manage to complete in one year :)
