Climb into the crystals of one hundred chandeliers,
Spread a wing
Think of love
The light it brings
Then your heart’s
Strings sing.

My heartfelt thanks to Jennifer Choy for modeling“La Esencia de Titania”
Jennifer is an upcoming Costume Designer in Canada, who I am mentoring. You can check out her work on Jennifer’s Website or Jennifer on Instagram
YES, she can really play the cello!

Resa, blown away by this … stunning gown , stunning model. Gold dust!
I agree with this statement. She can play the banjo as well, which is impressive.
Gasp, is there no end to the talent and beauty of Jennifer. I wonder if she would provide the entertainment for a small party I am planning.
That depends! Will Mr. Wapojif be in attendance?
We can come up with a plan (I’m not above lying) to get him there.
How are you acquiring all this information? Did you know there are drums and guitars involved as well?
Hey, if drums are involved then that’s awesome. However, a squealing banjo solo would be the best thing.
You really are very demanding! However, in an honest attempt at half and half, I will ask Jen if she would hammer lightly on the snare with a banjo.
That is fine. Plus, free sandwiches for everyone at the first gig. Then it’s a deal.
Thank you, Holly! I’ll take Gold dust. I can off it at the place that buys gold up the street.
Then definitely gold…it helps to have pawn shop nearby 🙂
Super photos. Jennifer is perfect for “La Esencia de Titania” — both the dress and Jennifer are lovely. I really like how you used the ladder and the cello.
Thank you, Timothy! It really did turn out well. I think the fact that Jennifer is not a real model worked for us. The gown made her feel pretty, and that was all she needed. The ladder was my idea, the cello was hers. We had a good time together, and it shows. 😀
Absolutely stunning! Model, dress and shots!
Thank you, Cindy! We had a real fun day!
So very beautiful — the dress and the model! 🙂
Jen & I had a really great time doing this! Thank you, Linda! 😀
What a lovely young thing; and how great she looks in your creation, Resa.
I popped along to her website and watched some of her videos; she is certainly a young woman going places!
Kudos to you for your photography; and to your mentoring skills. I’m certain Jennifer can only benefit… ❤
xoxoxo
So glad you popped over to her website. Jen is definitely and up and comer.
I adore her, and am reaping many benefits as well.
It was a fun shoot with fab results. I am very pleased. xoxoxoxo
The model, the decor, the dress and the photos- all classically beautiful and elegant.
Thank you, Dracul! I’m happy you liked this. Am headed over to your site for a visit.
Oh, Resa…what can I say? Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I love the ones on the ladder, where you can see the train. Just gorgeous. Congratulations. Jeniffer is so lucky to have you as a mentor. You are lucky to have such a great person to mentor. 🙂
Yes, the ladder is a good stage for a gown with a tail. The chandeliers are like a gorgeous crown. 😀
I’m liking this whole mentor thing. Many people helped me, and I’ve had a fab career. It feels good to give back. 😀
Mind-blowing… And she looks so beautiful in your gorgeous dress. Excellent job, dear Re… I am mesmerized by your talent!!!! ❤ Many hugs
PS: Jennifer wrote some beautiful words about you on her Instagram!. I will have to leave her lots of likes, then 😀
Thanks! I went and read some of her nice words. 😀 Is your Instagram back up?
Yes, my friend. Remember that I told you I would use an alternative account I already had (it was for my cats´!)… well, I am using that one. ((I added a widget on my blog, showing the last five pics there). You should create an Instagram one day! .. Hugs ❤
Aww, TY, Aq!
❤ Many hugs back at you!
(I would love to shoot you in an Art Gown!)
That would be a dream come true 😀 xx
Creativity and graciousness – a brilliant and life-affirming validation of joy.
It was a fab day! Easy, creative and fun! It was a validation of joy. Thank you, Rebecca!
Awesome! You must have had fun doing this photo shoot.
Carolee! It was an amazing day!
Splendid in every way, Resa.
Thank you! So are your poems. 😀
Beautiful model, great photos and N’s studio looks fab xoxo
TY & Natalie’s studio IS awesome! xoxoxo
Jennifer looks absolutely stunning in your wonderful dress!
Thank you so very much, Clare! That means a lot to me. xx
She used the music she played and note by note climbed to the stars. The sound of her music were enchanted dreams. The fairy wings whispered the words. The dress surrounded her in magic.
SIGH! You weave the lacy tail, which is the vision of “La Esencia de Titania”. I adore you, Virginia! XOXO
Your gowns sashay through my fantasy world and bring me joy. XOXOXO Virginia
A fairy with a ladder and cello ? Whatever next ? I hope you used the Dyson to clear up all that fairy dust after the shoot dear friend ? Seriously, another great post with another brave friend who modelled the gown.
Big hug. Ralph xoxoxo ❤
Ralph! Are you kidding? I’m up to my shins in fairy dust. Wish Natascha could model your/her gown. No one has, yet. Much love to all… xoxo <#
Natascha would love to wear the gown that you have dedicated to us dear Resa.
You missed a bit of fairy dust in that corner ! ✨✨✨✨✨
Well, how can that happen? Let’s discuss this in email! xoxo
Da*&^ fairy dust!! & the cats just track it all over the apartment. Uch. And it’s all over their fur. SIGH!!!
Ah, Resa, Jennifer is a true fairy. “La Esencia de Titania” looks stunning on her and she definitely looks like she’s enjoying wearing ‘her’. Beautiful photo shoot …classique indeed!
ps love those chandeliers! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am very pleased about the shoot!
Yes, a friend of mine makes the chandeliers as a hobby. They are gorgeous, and I even have a few in my apartment! (for free!) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love these. Your friend and mentee did a wonderful job. I love that she added the cello. It gives her a reason to manifest, to come out of hiding in the trees. She hears a symphony, puts the musicians to sleep, and plays fairy music on the cello. 🙂
Ooo, I like your reasoning! 😀
Anyway, if you do a fairy tale with the gown, you can use any of the original pics, or you can use one, or as many as you want of the ones with Jennifer. I already told her it was a possibility. 😀
How fun! I am still working on my novel, but I will need a break at some point. 🙂
No rush! Whenever, wherever the fairy dust settles. Sending hugs and best wishes for the completion of your novel! 😀 xo
Thanks, Resa.
Absolutely stunning! Model, dress and shots!With love Maxima
Thank you, Maxima! With love.
Wow, Resa, this dress is stunning. Congratulations on mastering this incredible art and skill. Beautiful modeling by Jennifer too.
Thank you, Jet!! 😀
Resa! I am just blown away, friend, just blown away! OH are you talented! I hope for you every success for you truly deserve this! This particular fairy is stunning in your gown. The work involved I cannot even begin to image. Just wow! Allow me to humbly assist you with the photography end. Avoid direct sunlight or light and keep all that you are photographing in shade or under soft lighting. The vivid lighting washes the colors out and it makes it hard to see. Crossing fingers this helped you!!! Much Love and (((HUGS))) Amy
Well, you are right about the work involved. It takes me at least 3 months to build one of these Art Gowns.
❤ Thank you for the photography tips!!!! ❤ {{{hugs}}}
Resa, I’m curious as to know if these gowns sell. They should and for a high price. They are so unique and utterly utterly gorgeous!!!
I have not sold any, yet! I cannot compete with China. Their factories take 30 hours to make a gown. I take 3- 5 months. Yet, I’m with you. i have a special product, but who can afford it? xoxoxo
