“Hello! Is this the number to which I have called?”
Dawn is styling the perfect accessory for a girl out on a ride with her pet birds. And never too far from that phone!
It was a perfect afternoon. Jewellery by Lindsay Craig.
We thank the artist, we are keeping his name a secret, for welding such a great sculpture, perfect for this shoot! And I get to use my paper horse.
Dawn’s final photos will be revealed on Saturday Sept 15.
Having lots of creative fun in Oliver BC!
Now just where are we?
Hint . . we checked for rattlesnakes first . . . 
Oliver’s Wild Woman, Steampunk Polly is styling in Industrial, Apocalyptic, futuristic, Steampunk.
Our Polly has a past.
Last year Polly’s Spirit Animal was the Raven!
I do think Polly rocked Joan of Arc!
Eyelash malfunction! Last shot! And those Dog Tags . . they are Polly’s.
September 15 we will show the final results.
I thank, Polly and my crew, Designer Dianne Gibson from Maker Place and Artist Diane Gane.
. . . and we have just started . . .
This little guy flew into the window and knocked itself out for a moment!
Styling that little dewy on top of its head she or he stayed long enough to get a great close-up. Then it stood up shook itself and ran off like only a young Quail can. Happy Friday!
They give their vessel a name and set out for L1, and the mysterious object there. They lose contact with Mission Control, and Tallgrass fears for Seagrass’s safety again.

The Wild Women Workshop 2018 Steampunk was waiting for a train at the Oliver Train Station . . . again. And looking mighty fine I must say. Even though the train has yet to show up!
A little history of the Wild Women Workshop aka WWW.
WWW started out as an Art Show at the Burrowing Owl Winery called Wild Horses, Wild Women with the amazing Artist Shannon Ford! http://shannonford.ca/paintings/horses/
Sally Franks, Prez of the Sagebrushes Art Club sagebrushsal@hotmail.com asked for a how-to-paint Wild Women class. We had so much fun! The next fall they were so wild (not shown for good reasons) The Sagebrushers were the art show at the Vagina Monologues! I was so proud of them! Note the cowgirl, under the hat on the left.
Back in 2013, a photo shoot was added and the Wild Women painted from their photographs. I loved watching them work through the self portraits!
Over the years we have had some fun themes, WWW2015 we explored our inner screen goddesses. We have explored women of history and our Spirit Animals.
Yuppers! That same Wild Woman under that Cowgirl hat in 2012 is the next Wild Woman 2018, Steampunk Sheryl!
Sheryl let me paint her face all dirty, Dianne from Maker Place dressed her and Moya was a great photog assistant. Moya knew how to fold a reflector! Googles by Diane Gane and that amazing umbrella was bought at the Umbrella Store in Vancouver in 1929. 
Wow Sheryl! And these are the outtakes. Can you tell I have been playing with the saturation in this? Compare the reds. The first image of Sheryl is the original.
Steampunk hits Oliver!
Location is the Oliver Tourist Centre
Thank you Town Hall and Rhoda!
Oliver’s gorgeous old Train Station was the location of Tiffany’s Steampunk Wild Woman Shoot.
We are sharing only the out takes at this moment. The Final results will be revealed Sept 15.
Last year the Wild Women Workshop revealed our Spirit Animal. Tiffany was an Owl.
Goggles, earrings and hat by Tiffany, Make-up and photography by Leza, props Diane Gane.
The Wild Woman Workshop empowers Wild Women with a photo shoot in a moment of fantasy that will last their lives with photos and a painting.
Wild Women Workshop Steampunk is the 9th Wild Women event I have enjoyed.
Each year I think of a theme, the ladies let me dress them up, paint them up, then take their photos. Over a two day workshop we all get together and then comes the hard work. These Wild Women examine themselves as they paint their portraits from a selected photo. It is lots of fun!
Tiffany is just one of the many Wild Women who has let me turn them into walking sculptures to be photographed.
. . . . and then reality kicks in! The cutest little boy is on Tiffany’s lap looking at the computer, a bit confused but eventually knew that was Mommy!
“Be cool!
