Having the perfect material at home is a blessing turned sour when there’s just not enough of it to fulfil the project requirements, even more so when in lack of the time for a trip to the specialist store; sometimes the ideal moment to creatively make the maximum out of what one has and elevate the design to a higher level.

On a last minute decision, we had our finished outfits for the 2013 picnic photographed at one of my favorite locations; the Thomaskirche area, with one of my favorite photographers; Xelorian arts, which resulted in this most interesting set of undercolored yet oversaturated images, with a lovely sweet light effect on them.
