SLEEPLESS DREAM

Fabulous shots from the sleepless shoot with the super talented Doug Swinskey and the awesome Lola R... turned out a bit mind blowing even after all the unplanned crazies of the day. Sure wish I could see the rest of the shots from this shoot...
(Hand painted, leather Butterfly earrings available here)

CONCEiTED MUCH?

I have to say it,

I am in love with the Rehcy by Anna Maria Fall 2012 collection.

Yea, yea, I know that's a on the conceited side, but hey, sometimes you can't help but be a little proud of your work. :-D

One of my favorite mediums to work with are antique and vintage metal works. The Fall 2012 collection is made from antique brass works from Europe.

Bracelets made from antique brass works.

Currently only available at Artesano in Fort Walton Beach. Will be available online this Autumn.

Making some leather butterfly earrings.

Here's a little something from outside my work life, a little statue before he is re-painted. I'm doing my living room in all white! Heck yeah, can't touch this! :-P

More home decor items before they are re-painted white.

During painting process

More painting

Essentials to the pattern making process: paper, measuring tape, scissors, peach, ruler, and most importantly, Stargate SG 1. 

Day I first got my ping-pong table. Notice that moon-pie?

Pic from NYC trip. My love and I on Liberty Island. Also the picture I used on the "my story" page for my wardrobe stylist website.

REHCY VONNE SPRING/SUMMER 2012 RUNWAY IN NYC

 

The stress, the chaos, the all-nighters, the ridiculous amounts of M&M's... it was all worth it.

Rehcy Vonne and Rehcy by Anna Maria showed in NYC!!

Thank you to everyone that made the experience wonderful.

Special thanks to my sister, my brother, Keisha, my father, my Love, and especially my fantastic mother. 

I love you all so much!

ORGANIZED CHAOS

As I fondly refer to it, organized chaos covers the 9 foot by 5 foot ping-pong table, re-purposed as my design desk. Feathers, hammer, strips of scrap leather, more feathers, and a mound of vintage clothing left to upload for Frankie Marie by Rehcy are among the items in front of me. It's 10:00 pm, and I still have over 4 hours of work left on my must-get-done list for the day, not to mention a Spanish lesson and a 90 min workout. You're welcome to do the math...

Such is the life a fashion designer building her brand.

Oh if I didn't love what I do... well, lucky for me, I do.  :-)

Now for a preview of what I've been working on today...
