Kids Fashion - Featuring, LillyBilly

We are very fortunate to have caught the American born, Guyanese, super kids model LillyBilly between shoots in Santa Monica Calif. She agreed to show  up if the renown Greek painter, photographer NInastophelos a very close friend with whom she has worked before would make the shoot. She’s wearing a pink Versace sweater hand woven with combed soft cotton fairy threads, a full length Dolce&Gabanna gypsy peasant one piece over the shoulder straps splashed with wild strawberry, orange, blue and yellow flowers and embroidered chest band. Gucci pale yellow inside cuffed rolled cotton pants. Her shoes of course are Italian by Prada of fine pink velvet designed for play and quite intentionally mimicking a common sandal just to add an urban touch. Her green designer cheerio purse with an open and self closing cheerio catch space was fashioned from green walnut husks made durable and translucent through a unique process and 100% non toxic. We are absolutely awed and delighted to have the opportunity to work with her. Thank you LillyBilly.

Arriving for the shoot

" how long will it take "

" Ok. I'm ready "

Notice the flowered design slightly pleated.

And how the pleats fold over the knee.

The embroidered Band and introducing her cheerio purse.

Open sweater with a high collar and full sleeves.

The flowered dress falls comfortably in a sitting posture.

Prada pink velvet shoes perfectly matching her Versace sweater and what grace she shows them.

" I'm ready for a juice break "

" You people are wonderful to work with "

" Somethings moving over there ! "

" Oh it's crossing the sidewalk "

" It's an ant "

" It's running away"

" That was really fun, let's do it again "

" Thanks everybody ! I gotta go now "

" See you later "

Energy Bodies

Energy Bodies can be known and perceived by the intuition. They are given form through the creative power of artistic vision. Just as a tree is painted differently by each artist, likewise the Energy Bodies can appear in infinite variations to each human perception. Energy flows everywhere. it surrounds us. The physical bodies are animated by it. We take energy for granted, expecting it to be there, responding to it and we call it life. Spiritual Science and Physics have evolved their own language and symbols to define it. From whatever aspect of consciousness we seek to know energy it will infinitely unfold to a deeper understanding and thus to a greater mystery. As an artist I am constantly in awe of the power and wisdom of form. It can tell the most finite nuance of change, of transformation, of creation. It is an eternal and universal language that with sensitivity and love can be intuited by all. We each have a very mysterious ability to penetrate space and time that lies outside our daily perception. That path is utterly unique to each, it can be found only within oneself, it requires nothing learned but rather trust in ones innate being. From that miracle of self we discover and create form to implement life, nothing could be more real.  Ninad
