Sascha Klave, my main squeeze, who gave up much to support me while I saw this project through. Thank you, darling boy, for putting up with my preoccupied mind, pretending to be ok spending evenings and weekends alone, allowing the past year to be all about me, and ultimately not divorcing me as a result! I appreciate it far more than I have said or shown.
My family and friends who have barely seen or heard from me in almost a year while I was all consumed. Thank you for your love, understanding, and patience.
Tracy Lines, the dear friend, ever talented book designer and publishing partner in crime whom I love immensely for really understanding me, getting this book rolling, providing endless, valuable input, and propping me up when I thought I might crumble. You, love, are beyond amazing.
Eve Wilson, the dream photographer, who not only gave up so many of her weekends to help me create images we could be proud of, but for whom nothing was ever a problem. A total star to work with, who could definitely convince me to do it all again.
Kate Farrell, the incredible styling assistant and total life saver, who worked alongside me week after week. The gestures of appreciation she has so far been shown are just the beginning of my gratitude for her six-months-plus of loyalty and meticulous help.
Bree Flack and Bronwyn Loftus, the amazing shoot assistants, who were so supportive of this project that they gave up many a weekend to paint wall flats, build sets, and generally work their butts off. You ladies rock.
Elisenda Russell and Rochelle Seator, Eve’s fabulous photography assistants, whose talents extended into hand modeling and finishing my embroidery for me. Props to you, ladies.
Glen Proebstel and Rachael Hart, whose beautiful space has become my home away from home and whose incredible generosity has allowed me to spread my wings. My most heartfelt thanks for bringing me to Melbourne and unknowingly providing the perfect platform for this project.
Carly Spooner, friend, comrade, and general all- round lady of awesomeness, who helped me in so many seemingly small ways throughout this project that she deserves a humongous thank you.
Karina Sharpe, the super-clever creative, who dropped everything to lend her talent and articulate eye to this project in the form of awesome collages and perfect project templates.
Georgia Ramman, the incredibly patient hair and makeup artist, who jumped on board at the last minute to contribute her talent so beautifully.
Thanks also to photography and shoot assistants Anthony Basheer, Ellie Beauchamp, Amy Mehrten, and Naomi Burd, who graciously gave their time and talent.
Last, but certainly not least, my publisher, Murdoch Books, and the key people there who believed in this project enough to give me the incredible opportunity to make it real. Diana Hill, Jane Price, and Vivien Valk: I really cannot thank you all enough.
