Nevada Museum of Art

Below you will find the rest of the models from the last session that ended June 27th. We start the next session on July 18th, ends August 22

Dana --- Annie get your gun! Dana reminds me of Phoebe Ann Mosey otherwise known as Annie Oakley. This type of painting would be from late 1800's to early 1900's.

Sharron, beautiful in her Victorian Bustle. These paintings are reminiscent of several 1800's paintings.

Carolyn (that would be ME) in 1940's . I felt like I was at the station waiting on the train. It never did come so I left after 3 hours of waiting...oh wait I mean posing!

Tim -- is that Sir Francis Walsingham? Tim protrays Walsingham along with a other characters at Renaissance Faires and other events. Such stately portraits.

I been wanting to make a late 1700's gown for several years now. I bought this material in LA last year after Costume College. I finally got around to making it - not only did I get the ensemble done, but I made my first corset! Welllll I did "make" a Ren corset years ago, it was so awful I never used it. I used JP Ryan's patterns for the corset and the Robe a l'Anglaise. I'm not super enthused with the hat, but it will work for now.
