The Cat's Cradle

From my first shoot with @alaskamauve back in 2016, we've been online friends for years and when we shot this, the shoot was fire. I was going through my queue around Halloween and whipped this up in my warmups. I love the fresher look of this set with how my skills have grown. It's kind of a reminder that your potential doesn't just hit a peak, not if you keep training yourself. I miss Alaska but I'm excited for the future and I'm sure we'll make more art again soon. There will be more from this set when my life is less chaotic.

Until then, I'll only hear the sound of my heart break when I realize I've denied seeing what I know to be true.

"I can't trust that humans will ever be wise, that's why I have to keep guard of the woods, should they ever come to harm this realm, I will do best to discourage them, so as the forest never sees their blades." -ST I feel strongly for always of Ethereal Maiden featuring @ladyduvessa - it was a challenge that we were able to go above and beyond with. The beauty of it was how random the idea was and how it was just put together the same day we shot it. I'm thankful for @ladyduvessa indulging my creative curiosity in trying something new, something that rendered such beautiful results. Huge shout-out to @idolatre for being a huge part of this collaboration 💕 her headdresses are the best in the Seattle area!

"Truthseeker" was heavily cathartic for me. My dad had died two weeks before and all I felt was pain, I couldn't find a moment to grieve between doing all the major things I didn't expect to be doing for my elderly mother who had just lost the man she had loved over half her life. My sister told me to make sure I didn't burn myself out, but I never take myself into account during a time like that to understand what my limits are. @sugartabi came into my life with such kindness and warmth and allowed for me to take a moment to really feel the weight of my grief. She is a great friend and a great artist to work with, and I'm so happy and honored to be published with her in the latest edition of @jellybabymag 💕🌿✨ Credits for this set - Model: @sugartabi (she pulled off some gorgeous poses for this set) Mask: @hysteriamachine Collar: @miss.overdose.shop Wig: @ardawigs (styled by me for this shoot) I know that my dad would be proud of me, I just wish I could share the joy of my accomplishments with him still. #jellybabymagazine #sugartabi #sarahtrickler #hysteriamachine #truthseeker #darkfantasy #ardawigsvenus #victorianfantasy (at Tumwater, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPet1OAM0W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sktp1z9uc2jm

The seasons of witches are upon us. Ever since I was a little girl, witches have fascinated me. I always wanted to be apart of magical adventures.

I apologise for the silence recently, a lot has landed on my plate in my personal life that has made it difficult to keep up on here, granted, stories have been a daily thing, regardless, I'm excited for the month and next month and I'm hopeful for the future right now. I'm looking forward to next Spring. Especially with making trips to see and create with @nixy_sg again 🌿💕 I loved shooting this set with her at my old apartment. More of this set is under wraps 😏 Credits: Model/mua/stylist: @nixy_sg Antlers: @idolatre Wig: @ardawigs Necklace: @sacraluna Corset: @etherealthreads Bloomers and bustle skirt: @xaviaspretties Socks: @sockdreams // @sockdreamsshop (M45 in Red) 💕 (My favorite socks are Sock Dreams socks) Harness: SteampunkCouture #nixysg #idolatre #ardawigsluthien #aradanielfears #sarahtrickler #fantasycouture #fantasyfashion #deergirl #sockdreams #sacraluna #discerponectodecrepitus #xaviatv (at Tumwater, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bot3yzMAfez/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g66jcgcb3nlj
