A Castle in the Air, 4th Street, Berkeley

I was intrigued by these lovely wax casts of doll and santos heads and hands.

They also just opened a very sweet little gallery upstairs and are showing a wonderful exhibition of children's photos.

Vintage Photo Pin - Tintype

How could I pass this up??? So cute and a pin!!! It is a little crooked and it isn't movable. :( I still love it!

Hands, San Miguel de Allende as Wet-Plate Collodion Tintype

I've seen this head several times at Summer House in Mill Valley. It is super expensive but so cool.

I love the beautiful blue colors of this thread. I used Larry's lens to get a nice close-up shot of it.

Isn't she cute! Little flapper dress. Made of tin.

Old Chemistry Bottle

Thanks for lending me your lens Larry! It did a lovely job on this old chemistry bottle that I bought a while back at one of the flea markets.

Virgin Mary from Grenouille

So pretty. Thank you Joseph! A wonderful addition to my collection.

Epiphania Bath Products!

Beautiful and aromatic new bath products made with love by Carrie, owner of Epiphania. Check out her website!

So gorgeous!

from another shoot this morning before Theresa picked her up!

Beautiful Tintype...

for some reason she reminds me of Alice of Alice in Wonderland or at least of someone Charles Dodgson would have photographed!

Gorgeous Santos on loan

Oh, she is just soooo gorgeous. I am honored to have the opportunity to borrow this beautiful santos for the week. I hope to do some amazing photos. This is just a sketch.

Wooden Hands, La Calaca

Theresa's black wax hands & mold reminded me of this image which I uploaded earlier today to gammatech to get a transparency made. Hope to see it later this week.

Top is tintype that I varnished first week in October. Thought it might be good to put them side by side.

Everlasting Moments

This is a really good movie. I saw it with Lisa in Ashland at the Varsity Theater on Sunday.
