TB to the process of making
@fauxbits999 ‘s pictures, back in February. Inspired by her magical, tribal and organic influences, we decided to create a scene where Jan Loup would be caught on camera nested in her own habitat, high in some kind of mystical forest.
@amajln then imagined a set composed of some translucent long skin-like vines, and wanted to make them with only biodegradable materials so there was no toxic waste produced.
After many attempts (that didn’t fit in this short video), she eventually mastered the caramel (sugar+water+vinegar) and made the vines on the floor, using some raw hemp ropes.
Alongside,
@carokenzy made a ripped long corseted dress and a laced sleeve out of a hudge piece of old raw cotton, but she didn’t have a sewing machine so she used staples and made it work.
After a quick fitting on Ama, she laid down the dress and dyed it with hibiscus tea, cranberry juice and coffee.
After one week of drying, both the set and the outfit were ready to be shot on Jan Loup, who turned out to be a real cold and rain fighter, as well as a trained climber ✨
