Awesome pattern design by Ashley Goldberg. Wouldn't you love to see this in a textile application? I think it would make an amazing print for a bathing suit or sundress. This print and others are available for licensing...so by all means, get in touch with Ashley if you're interested.

Souvenir Foto School: Day 28 - U for Upside Down Circus Dog

So I managed to make it through the challenge of letter "U" for my Souvenir Foto School. Hooray! Thanks for the suggestions that some of you emailed me. You guys are the best. I had been thinking of using an umbrella as my subject, but every time I looked the sorry red one I own, I felt anything but inspired.

So today I got a tad goofy with Henry; a little stuffed dog that I found at a thrift store several years ago. He's one of my favorite vintage finds and usually watches over my office from my craft shelf. However, this morning he decided to bust out his secret talent for acrobatics (sure surprised me), and I certainly wasn't about to stop him (wink). xo Ez

P.S. These were processed in part using a free action from Nite Fate. She has some of the coolest free Photoshop actions out there, so if you enjoy editing with Photoshop, then be sure to give them a try.

P.P.S. If you'd like you can also find all my images in individual and diptych form for this month-long class challenge over in my flickr album. | Souvenir Foto School is offered by Besotted Brand.
