Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

What did you do to the pictures to give them these cool effects? Like with the stars and glitter and tinted colors?
You said you re-scanned them, so did you actually glue the sequins and glitter on the actual paper and use like watercolors or something and THEN re-scan them?
Or did you do that on a computer program?
Thanks so much!! (I am a curious little nugget!)

i edited the colours and such on photoshop, then printed them, then mirren kessling (www.flickr.com/photos/mirrenk) decorated them with gold leaf, sequins and glitter for me, before rescanning them. i’m glad you like the effect!
Log in to replyThese are beautiful – #8 is especially amazing!

Log in to replySooo pretty! I love the glitter. And the title fits all the pictures so well!
Log in to replyi think i’m in love
Log in to replyI love seven, it makes the glitter look almost like a natural part of the plants, so it seemed like she was walking in some sort of magic fairy dream world.
Log in to replyAm I the only only one who appreciate the confetti and glitter added to the photos? Hopefully not. I love the 5th photo because it reminds me a lot of the Mert & Marcus spread in W March 2011. #fashionnerdproblems
