scottish thistle

This is fantastic, so beautiful, so love the vintage look, your technique is magnificent

brilliant!

beautiful ~ i love the prickly beauty of this xx

this is great, and the explanation of your technique astounds me that you know so much, I took 2 classes in photography at college oh, a lifetime ago and we never were shown any such techniques, and, of course, I do not work with film anymore…I never knew you could do so much with Polaroid…anyway, I love this except for one minor thing in the first panel, the danger sign….

haha, I couldn’t see it without my reading glasses….I shouldn’t have mentioned it as in many of my stuff things seem to pop out that I left in, uh, embarrassed to say, that I missed and is pointed out to me….still, I wish I had your know-how, really…maybe someday someone will teach me ‘cause i hate reading technical books on such…

glorious Aglaia! love them to bits =)

I learn by observation better than following instructions in abook

yeah, I agree…too bad you couldn’t teach me, but, then I’d probably be paying more attention to you than your instruction,lol

I’m such a flirt…. ;))

interesting work

‘tis not the first smack I ever got,lol

Oh you’re so wickedly wild and clever aglaia! just like that wonderfully, free-flowing and growing thistle you have captured so wonderfully! I love the untamed, scratchy feel and effect to those photographs, a fantastic way of portraying untamed, thorny thistles… oh you have no idea how even a glimpse of these sensational shots makes me go all…............................................. ;-)xox

quite a few are doing this kind of time old form :) ( i might hope to know how to make too :)
Just taste adding !

Such a clever outcome and so much work and thought put into your images always….rare talent!

lol, I’m going fine thank you aglaia, and yes, those t_{horny, bushy thistles of yours are just so enticing, you just know how anything with pricks stimulates me beyond belief! And nobody can present ~t-horny} pricks, quite as amazingly as you! ;P xox --> _{if I had one of those crap mac thingys, a heart would go in this space here (....) lol}

aglaia? where did your reply go to? LOL, you have left me sitting here looking like I am masturbating to your t-horny thistle bush! lmao. :-)

You are the kind to produce, inspiration in others.
You are the kind to show, your creativity in eclectic ways
You are the kind that I look up to.

Gorgeous work…..I love the composition and thought behind presentation, I can imagine this hanging in my bedroom….

how strange… lol… so much seemed to be coming out of your hot little wet lips, and yet not a drop of words can be found??? I absolutely love the mysterious way you are able to say so much and yet reveal so little… lmao, did you know that you have another _thorny bush in here? I was gazing at it a moment ago feeling quite stimulated and spoilt for choice! ;-) xox

the way you frame your work and give it that unique texture is stunning! Love this, especially the desaturation!

thank goodness their pricks have kept you company! ;-) xox

aglaia dear!!! I’m simply in shock! how could you speak so rudely of your other commenters??? LMAO :-) hahaha

psst aglaia, I think you had better write a public apology and attach it to one of the pricks in the bush, or it may well become a thorn in your side! :)

xox

Did you see Nicole’s beautiful poem dedicated to your thorny bush image? It is, in all seriousness, a brilliant poem! SEE

tssssss – did you think I’m still sleeping?
oh – great work aglaia ;-)

hi andreas! fancy seeing you leaping out of aglaia’s wonderful bush like that! you took me quite by surprise! lol

laughs

depends on the location ;-)

I most definitely agree that body hair can be very erotic aglaia, hence my motivation in growing my pubes back for you this winter! ;-) Insofar as pricks in bushes, did I ever tell you about the time when I was absolutely slozzled off my face and I literally fucked a man on a blackberry bush??? the next morning I woke up and looked like I’d had sex with a cougar!!! hahaha, I really should have gone on top that night! hahaha oh… just see the things that your wonderful bush inspires me to remember?

I wasn’t hiding at all – I just popped in – obviously in the right moment.

Great compilation Aglia…...takes me back to my old school days when there were hundreds growing wild in the paddocks around Footscray High School.We played “golf” with the flower heads.
Fond memories! :))

beautiful triptych !!!

lol@leno… what are flower heads??? are they like maiden heads??? and is it appropriate to go around pounding sweet, little maiden heads, with balls? ;-) xox

this is just a quickie for now aglaia, we’re both a bit busy atm!!! :-)

Don’t know how it started but boys with big sticks will do what boys with big sticks will do.It was quite competitive…like golf…....... all in the swing! Farthest won! You had to be there!:)))

It was quite competitive…like golf…….... all in the swing! Farthest won! You had to be there!:)))

oh… if there were sticks and balls flying loose, randomly and wildly, I most probably was there Leno! ;) And sweet aglaia, the cougar ended up just fine, a little shagged, but in a perfectly recoverable condition! :)

Well I did apply to be both redbubble’s PR Manager and Personal Hostess for new members, but alas, it seems that my talents are not appreciated here, lol, instead my requests only succeeded in getting my ass kicked out of the door!!! LOL

Excellent images and words A1

In retrospect, perhaps saying “Can I be your hot little whore” was not the most effective way of applying for a job position…? ;)

Don’t what the selection criteria is but I think Jennifer B is more than qualified to be PR Manager and Personal Hostess for RB.
Her talents deserve recognition!
Let’s hear it!! :)))

aww… thank you Leno! you’re SO sweet! :) And to think we haven’t even cybered….. yet…. ;)

Give it time ….they’re thinking…thinking….:)) xx

they’re thinking??? what both of them are able to do that… lol, I always did say that men held their brains in their pants… haha

are you two still going on about golf balls? ;-)

Them thistles would grow out of anywhere. I love nasty horrible “waste ground” like this because it used to be all over Ireland. Now you can’t move for some dickhead property developer knocking up cheap almost falling down already but will be in ten years for sure houses for yuppies.
The photos themselves are very well taken as always and the process you used is a class act and I’d let it go out with my sister anytime. Huge work has gone into this and that’s they way it should be. You rule.

great work ! Bravo !

I just love what you do with your images, they are just so beautiful!

great vintage look…!

i really love these

One of the best images I have seen on RB. Mesmerizing, such a simple subject, a bloody weed for God’s sake….....and you turn it into such a wonderful work of art. Talented little you Aglaia. Thanks also to our Jen’s enthusiastic comments and opinions as usual. She is such a light in a dark space, a joy in times of sadness, and one talented writer…......You are both ace shiela’s.

PS. If I could, I would fav this twice.

LOL sweet aglaia, are you still playing around with that _thorny little bush of yours? ;-)

I must admit… Ever since that night I shagged a guy named…?... somethingoranother… on that blackberry bush, I’ve developed quite an appetite for pricks! ;-P LMAO xox

wow, this is just great! beautiful

oh no! aglaia!

our shameful cyber chats and performance art sessions have made the feature page!!! how embarrassing! could you quit cultivating such sensational _thorny gardens so that we may be able to perform in private???

oh gawd…

the shame of it all.

Congratulations you talented fiery-haired wench!!!

I think! lmao

xoxoxox

oh my darling, sweet and sexy little jen b, tis only performance art and an extension of the piece itself.

See aglaia??? you’re a natural hon, do you have any idea how you made me feel when you uttered that big, long, hard, powerful word, ‘extension,’ in that sweet, breathless voice of yours…???? why, ‘tis almost enough to make me risk getting nettle rash again! LOL. ;-)

HAAAAAAAA!!! I see ya’ll been clusterfucking without me!!! Damn, hurt my feelins will ya!!!

OH YEAH, this goes perfect with Nic’s words, so lovely it makes me wanna cry!

hey dg!!! next time aglaia digs up another, sensuously sexy _thorny little garden like this one, we’ll drag your hot little ass over there to join us! that’s if we’re able to lure you out of that saucy lil sex shop of yours! ;-)

aglaia, I am deeply, bitterly wounded by our fellow, performance art partner andreas!!! sob… sob… why, he dedicated a picture to me on my myspace page… of Venice… I thought he was being romantic and sweet, but he was actually gifting me a sinking city!!!! The next time we lure him into one of your gardens, I swear I will bury him in it!!! LOL ;-) xoxox

A sinking city abandoned by most of its people and that stinks badly…

very nice shot, lovingly edited together

congrats – your work has been featured. great

laughs – shouldn’t you sleep?

fabulous!!!!

great with the words

how on earth did I miss this in your portfolio. I keep finding hidden treasures.
This technique sounds so exciting and something I would one day love to try. I just know though that perhaps I don’t have the patience to set it all up. (I can imagine there’s a fit bit to the process?)
