• Dogwood Rose, Frozen

    Dogwood Rose, Frozen

    As you know, I was obsessed with Julie’s set up for frozen flowers melting under the camera. Today, I’m sharing with you the second flower, a Dogwood rose. In real life, it seemed a little boring to shoot since the petals became quite limp when wet, unlike the previous peach rose. But when I was…

    A Study in Rheology

    I think this is my last Painted Planets post. We stirred up the water to join the painty liquids back together. I love the movement in these first two shots. As stated on Wikipedia: Rheology is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a liquid state, but also as “soft solids” or solids…

    Another little post with these beautiful peach roses. I zeroed in on the ice strings down on that leaf under the flower. One more post on these roses to come, then I’m done, I swear. x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with an Air Plant – RegularRandom

    Many of you know that I like to pick up a bunch of flowers each weekend and, if I get time, photograph them, or use them in styled photos. This weekend was the first one in a few where I’ve had time to pick up a bunch. At the florist, they had these adorable little…

  • Early Flight

    Early Flight

    She was sure she’d forgotten something but she was tired and she just wanted to get moving. She grabbed her keys from the bowl by the door, and with her thumb poised over the light switch, she cast her eye around her apartment, not really seeing it, her mind elsewhere. She dragged her suitcase over…

  • Dirty Water

    Dirty Water

    Following the Painted Planets posts, I thought I’d share with you some in-between and after shots, when we were playing around with the paint and the dirty water. I quite like the effects. x desleyjane

  • Favourite Place/Space

    Favourite Place/Space

    I have had a few favourite places and I’ve spoken about them before. I used to say that the Qantas lounge was one of my favourite places because it meant that I was almost home. It meant that I could have a glass of wine and call a favourite person or read a good book…

  • My Other Life

    My Other Life

    For those of you who don’t know, I have a mild (not mild) addiction to stationery, which I blog about elsewhere. My favourite brand is kikki.K and I post lots of photos of their products (and others) on my other Instagram account (@desleyjane_plans). They recently contacted me to ask me to join them on a…

    A Purple Posey

    I picked up this beautiful posey from Art Stems on Lygon on Sunday and spent some time photographing it. For this first post, here it is from 4 different sides. More close-ups to come, of course! Have a fabulous day. x desleyjane
