it needed more veins…

i wanted this girl to look stoned, but i’ve never been stoned before so it’s hard for me to imagine the feeling. she ended up just looking sleepy — a feeling i know very well.

i need more practice.

since i got pregnant, i can hear my pulse clearer than ever, and my veins have been growing all over me. i can see my veins running across my skin so clearly, they’re like a tattoo. i don’t have any tattoos on my body, but i’m enjoying looking at my temporary tattoo.

subarashii means “wonderful” and inochi means “life” in english.

when i took this photo, i was holding three doctor dolls with my left hand and a camera with my right hand. the green in the background is a scrap cloth i got from fabricland. i didn’t care to iron it. that’s why it has fold lines. i thought that was a nice effect.
