Hello love!

Here are some BTS images of myself and my two beautiful models (Egda Marquez as my Black Swan Warrior and Lisa Dehlin as my Steampunk Warrior) at the RAW Glimpse Event in Portland at Holocene. This was the first time I'd ever created characters LIVE so it was truly a wonderful experience. From the custom feather neck piece that I built to the craft belt buckles I glued onto my warrior's arm, the audience loved the creative process from start to finish and there's no better feeling than to see your vision come to life and inspire others. If you notice the serious look on my face it's because I was in the zone! LOL I was on a mission...but I really should smile more! :)

xoxo,

Alena
