under the mango tree and tangerine skies
hello loves!!!
i know it has been a while. since my last post i've been to delaware with my sister and her boyfriend. it was so much fun ... we had cookouts and i was responsible for the desserts and baking. i made a nectarine and almond cake, mango puddings that were to die for, coconut wafers with vanilla bean ice cream, and baked mushrooms stuffed with ricotta and ham. we went to the beach there and had orange creamsicle ice cream and amazing boardwalk fries with apple cider vinegar. it sounds odd but it i swear it is really delicious!!
and that really marks the end of summer for me. art school has started and i LOVE IT. lovelovelove it!!! nyc is amazing as i expected it to be. i've been to stores filled with every kind of ribbon trimming from feathers and pearls to lace and frills, thrift stores and costume shops, chocolatiers', japanese bookshops, libraries, art supply stores ... you get the idea. :-)
but those adventures were during breaks between classes. when i go back to my bro's apt to do work, i am busy all the way!! sometimes i forget to breathe! but that said, photography class has been so fun!!! we have a book project ... i have to make a book. my topic is of a surrealistic, fantasy, and dream-like nature, so definitely something to look forward to!! i already had a shoot with Mary, but that will be in a different post. i don't have all the images at the moment.
self-portrait taken for class!
i had a strange dream earlier ...
it was a dark, blistering-cold winter night. it was lightly snowing and there were stars out above. i felt an alarming sense of danger ... and i was with a boy, dark haired and taller than me, clad in black. under a long canopy of arched christmas-lit trees, we were both running as quickly as we could, on the lookout like hawks. as we ran, he told me to lower my head as if i should try not to be seen. then he put his arm around me and we ran on like that, under the starry night sky and twinkling trees, with snow flying in our cold and numb faces. and i swore i heard distant laughter all around us.
i'm going to Dumbo today with my sister! It's in brooklyn, a little neighborhood full of art galleries, bookshops, fashion boutiques, a chocolate factory, ice cream, and a french patisserie!! yes i am definitely taking my camera with me. :-D

lastly, please tell me what is going on! i haven't been on for so long and i've love to be able to know how you're all doing!!
