b e a u t i m u s e




Darlings. Do me the honor of visiting beautimuse, my new site for sharing über-sized images and designs of my making. I've been madly shooting photos for the past several weeks, strengthening bonds with my trusty little Nikon Coolpix (not kidding), my DianaF+ (of course) and my old Polaroids. Inspired as ever by all the gorgeousness that Jane and Lori offer (every. single. day. — they amaze me and I love them both), I loaded up on shots of some peonies (slay me) that I received on a recent special occasion, posing them against a black field and capturing them in various stages of bloomage and degeneration. As you know (well, I imagine that you know), I gots to have me lots of visual beauty if I hope to approximate a modicum of sanity. It's a process.




I'm so happy to share these with you. Let me know what you think. (I realize that many of you prefer the emailz for your communiqués. No worries. Find me at dianamusemail at gmail dot com or leave a комментарии just below.) Much love all 'round.

Stunning stunning stunning!

You know how partial I am to anything on a black background but these are exceptionally executed.

You should open an Etsy store!!!

Those peonies are incredible! I can't comment on the other site because the embedded comments don't work with my browser (thanks, Firefox!) but those large images are absolutely stunning.

It was worth the dial-up download time. I had to pass up peonies at the market--too much. These will absolutely do. Shall investigate your new endeavor just as soon as possible. At moment, in DC, apocalyptic storms approach. Lovely, lovely.

Will be back. (And I apologize for firing up Anonymous on that posting...I simply couldn't stand it.)

ciao, bella
