HANDMADE BY ... PHOEBE REID


Good morning!  Thanks for bearing with me as I neglected my blogging duties yesterday and took off for a country drive.  It ended up not being one of the most relaxing drives because I got lost, stuck in a major traffic jam, and was so focused on finding my way home that I didn't get any photos worth posting.  It was a "Murphy's Law" kind of day.  ;)

Today I want to introduce you to the lovely work of Phoebe Reid!  Phoebe is a former student of mine from my creativity e-course, Raining Umbrellas.  Although I'd love to take credit for her amazing talent, I have nothing to do with it.  She was creating these beautiful images before she even started the class!  Phoebe uses a special photography method called "Tilt Shift" to get that lovely blurry effect with her photos.  That's something I'd love to try with my photos in the future.  :)

To quote one of Phoebe's friends ... "Phoebe has a way of transporting a viewer into these magical worlds. Her images seem to be snapped not in our world but one where fairy tales and magic exist."

To view more of Phoebe's work, you can visit her Etsy Shop , her blog, or her captivating art blog!

  1. Thank you so much Vicki :) I'm so pleased and happy to be one of your features! Even before I took your e-course and now especially after I have been captivated by your artistic style and was/am a fan of all things Simply Hue. In other words it's so wonderful to me that we've gotten to know each other and that I am a little part of your beautiful world that you share with us.

    And I hope that the next time that you get lost in the country it is minus the traffic and that you get many photo ops! ♥

  3. Vicki, dear lady, another faaaaaabulous featured highlight!

    Brava, Phoebe!

    I'm lovin' these photos, both the top four and bottom four. And I'm fascinated with the process that Phoebe used (Tilt Shift) because I only have a Nikon point and shoot camera presently, but am looking to purchase a more advanced-setting camera soon. I love the effect of what she did in those last four photos. They look so 'dreamy.'

    "Phoebe has a way of transporting a viewer into these magical worlds. Her images seem to be snapped not in our world but one where fairy tales and magic exist."

    That's a perfect description.

    Thanks so much for sharing, Vicki!

    Hope your drive today in the country was awesome!
