Mohawk Braids

Braided all my hair into about 8 or 9 separate braids, took them out the next morning :)

French braid tied with pink fabric. Love.

Not something I've seen before. Rare?

Made this on myself today

Not a bad job of braiding when my husband is doing 80+ on a bumpy 2 lane state road.

That is his braid and he is very proud of it , as is his fellow class mates....

FOr this shot I had camera on tripod, at 35 mm 2.8, TTL flash bounced of ceiling

I converted to B&W with selective blue and then did a split toning (which I am just starting to get to)

My hands look huge and spidery. Beside the fact that 35 mm will distort things a little. They really are. Big and spidery. The nail salon people tend to look at me weird and talk to each other in a low voice, in a foreign language (why would they speak low voice if I can't understand them?) . So I don't do that nail thing. One day a tiny employee (well they are all so tiny compared to me!!) told me "big cuticles!!". Which I felt like apologizing about. Then she started to hurt my fingers trying to remove my "big cuticles".

And I thought women when to nail salons for relaxation. Well not me. For relaxation, I read a book, have wine, watch true blood (Especially watch the vampire guys in true blood....saying "Sookie" in their super sexy voices), or look at you all s pictures (if there were more vampire pictures, I would spend more time on Flickr. Just saying).

I am slightly out of topic here. This flickr thing is becoming a stream of consciousness. Maybe I should write a blog like everyone else. About cuticles and Vampires and photography, and how I find red and orange and hot pink to be gorgeous together. This thought will remain UNFINISHED (LOL) for now.

Just something to keep my hair off my neck as it's been very warm!

Look at that pose! A braid with a little curl on top. It looks like there's a fingerprint under her arm.

This might very well be my most popular picture. I have thousands of people who look at this picture and wonder to themselves how did I Kristen Lock make this design. Well if you purchase my tree braids 101 DVD then you too can create this same style as easily as I did. I used 24 inch perm straight purchased by the client from her local beauty supply store.

Because I liked my hair today and needed an excuse to mess with my flash.

Day one of Labor Braid weekend

What do you do when you have hair this long?

201*365

I need extra catch up photos so let me tell you braids really hurt! I was scratching and itching all day for just these three haha Anyhow I enjoyed the eperience and thought the focus and angle of this shot shows the real texture and look of my hair close up! So this is what you would see looking at me closely! ;) Although I'm still craving that macro lens......hmmmmm one day!

I took the big 70-200mm lens with me to Bali and couldn't resist the opportunity to take many many photos from our 6 day getaway with friends. We just needed to relax from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. I really needed a bit of a break and now struggling with choosing photos for this project as most are too personal or not staged enough for 365. Nevertherless I love so many I really just have the urge to put all my travel photos up on flickr but for now they will stay on FB hehehehe

Right side view of my latest french braid.

and button earrings that i made!

[braids inspired by the film "ever after" and a hairstyle i saw in an email advertisement from anthropologie. xo.]

I've been meaning to get Rune a proper wig but funds have been tight. Luckily, I found some elastics lying around and braided the old, frizzy wig I had. I think it suits her so much! ♥

Our braided kitchen rugs were made by an elderly woman in Pennsylvania. We found her when we visited a craft fair and fell in love with these colorful rugs. They are both close to a decade old and we wash them often but they are still going strong.

I got my hairdresser to put a pretty little braid in my hair ;-) It just adds the final touch to the style I think

Anyone out there know the secret to tucking in the end braid? I've tried with hairpins and bobby pins and it never stays in place.

Still taking me some time to learn the fishtail braid the french way so here is another plain one...

Nice french braid...

Hadn't uploaded a decent french braid pic in a while so here it is...

Studying this kind of image makes me fall into a deep sleep.

I just can't keep it tight while doing a dutch braid. Some women find doing this braid easy and have a hard time mastering the french braid. I guess I'm just the opposite.

My hair braiding skills: excellent if I must say.
