Mouche//"wolf"
Presumably, Mouche has titled her first set after its theme, which is one almost even more adorably distracting than Mouche herself. Almost. Scruff and skin are a perfect combination, and you'd have to be pretty hard-hearted not to be charmed by the affection between these two.

seely//"pien_mien"
This is one of those high-magnitude sets that will have you turning down the brightness on your monitor. Seely is her very own light source, glowing from the inside out, but still it's not enough for her, if those red lines on her bum are any evidence.

Rouge_soie//"light_of_day"
Love this girl. She's a magician with natural daylight, and it seems that all of her folios take on that circadian rhythm, as she potters about turning nothing into something. She exudes a confidence that is well beyond her years, as though she's already made the choice to accept and love herself. It's always good to get a head start.

Manuela//"la_vie_facile"
Manuela isn't stressing herself about anything. She knows that she doesn't have to do much more than the usual to look ravishing, and we reckon we could all do well to follow her lead - who doesn't look their best when naked in a hammock?

Ashlynn & Dust//"industria_2"
There is a certain strangeness to these images - the contrast of the stark, straight, linear surrounds and the parabolas of our subjects, the glare of the flash and the dullness of grey expanses of sky, and even the expressions on Ashlynn & Dust's faces - all push towards a sense of unease, an atmosphere we can't quite put to words.

Sidara//"spellbound"
There is something intrinsically mystical that permeates throughout Sidara's first folio for Project ISM. It could be the appearance of the traditional witch's foil, the kitty-cat, but more likely it is the distinct impression that there is something untamed, earthy and undeniably powerful lurking behind Sidara's gaze. Try as we might, we just can't look away.

Juana//"winterwoolies"
When winter smacks you right in the face the way ours has, you head immediately for its comforts, making Juana's latest set so perfectly appropriate for how we're feeling at HQ. This + a strong, sweet Earl Grey = nestling in for the winter.

Apples//"textaqueen"
Did your mum tell you you'd get skin poisoning if you continued to draw all over yourself in texta? Oh, those teenaged years of drawing on your besties in the back of the history classroom...it's all coming back to Apples now, as she doodles her way through another glowing set.

Crystalah//"refraction"
With a glint in her eye and a song in her heart, Crystalah is one woman who knows all her good angles (although after seeing her work we here at Project ISM have a sneaking suspicion that she possesses no bad ones). This intriguing, multi-faceted folio shows Crystalah in just about every light - and each one of them is breathtaking.

Pixie_fae//"sinfully"
Original sin has never looked so lovely as it does today. Personally, I'm quite happy for Pixie_fae to sit pretty at the crux of the downfall of man. If the story must be told, and re-told, I at least wanna be able to look at some pretty pictures. Ones of which the Bible Guild would not approve.

FleurVermont//"magic_hour"
One of the most alluring things about gypsy girls is the way they can just feel at home, anywhere. Nestling into any part of the earth is no stress for them, whereas most of us are all nervous about ant nests and awkwardly scratching at our grass rashes. If only we could be so nonchalant.

sharmayne//"poet_queen2" Video
All that's missing from this scene is a couple of bongos and a microphone, but Sharmayne's saving that for when she's famous. And the raw, barren space in which she writhes about is fitting for the moment anyway. We'd huddle in the corner of a dank bunker with broken bottles under our feet if it meant we could get access to the pages of a lady's journal.

Alice_m//"vivant"
Just a little bit of French villa for your mid-week ISM vacation. Alice_M's headshot belongs next to the word 'earnest' in the dictionary (or however it translates in French). Bubbly as champagne and cheeky as all get-out, she's totally the pick-me-up you need to keep up appearances for the rest of the week.

Marcena//"exhibit"
How does the pleasure of walking round the house in your birthday suit compare to that you get from exposing yourself in the context of ISM? Is Marcena's offering here more or less intimate and / or exposed than she might be to her happy housemates? Only she can know for sure, but that doesn't stop us speculating...

Spacewitch//"home_ec"
A woman's place, as I'm sure you know, is in the home. And Spacewitch knows how to occupy herself there, oscillating between the dirty-work and the even dirtier activity of finding a killer outfit for the evening's plans. The only thing missing is a martini, but just because we can't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there.
