Here I am at the Iconic Joshua Tree in California, wearing my own designs available at my &lt;a href="http://www.verablack.com"&gt;Online Store&lt;/a&gt; 
As long as I can remember it has been my dream to travel across America by car touring, driving through the desert and visiting this exact spot. I have been lucky enough to do this trip 3 times now. This beautiful place was made even more famous by the title of U2's break-though album, Joshua Tree. I'm now working with the man who had a lot to do with U2's Career and that album, Mr Marc Marot...who was then Chairman of Island Def Jam UK, now CEO of Crown Talent Agency.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/8263239563178210055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/2013/03/california-dreaming.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8385703481123552284/posts/default/8263239563178210055?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8385703481123552284/posts/default/8263239563178210055?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/2013/03/california-dreaming.html' title='California Dreaming'/><author><name>Vera Black</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02352862839613245389</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9R9mqOUm-b0/UTSaAFU8P_I/AAAAAAAAAMw/pFiIbNq8ajk/s220/Vera-forest-1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;CE4FQHw_eip7ImA9WhNaGUQ.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385703481123552284.post-2389321803297910455</id><published>2013-02-04T07:48:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2013-02-04T07:48:31.242-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2013-02-04T07:48:31.242-08:00</app:edited><title>Vera Black Garment Tag</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

I styled this shot with all my own personal feather pieces.&amp;nbsp; This image was used to celebrate and promote the launch of VERABLACKDESIGNS.COM my new website and Online Store.&amp;nbsp; That's right!You can now purchase my designs online at my website, and if you join my 'Feathered Friends' Mailing List you get to see them before everyone else and have the opportunity to purchase. Vera Black Designs is no longer just about feather jewellery, I have some new very exciting designs, that you have never seen before up my sleeve, so keep an eye out...&amp;nbsp;The selection is small, because I design and create every piece myself with time, love and passion...each piece is unique, no two are the same. Why not get you creative juices flowing and together we can Custom Design a piece especially to suit you, or choose one of my designs just made, which you can safely purchase through PAYPAL......</content><link rel='related' href='http://verablackdesigns.com' title=''/><link rel='enclosure' type='' href='http://www.densonbaker.com' length='0'/><link rel='enclosure' type='' href='http://www.verablackdesigns.com' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/2657048101850189039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8385703481123552284/posts/default/2657048101850189039?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8385703481123552284/posts/default/2657048101850189039?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>Vera Black</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02352862839613245389</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9R9mqOUm-b0/UTSaAFU8P_I/AAAAAAAAAMw/pFiIbNq8ajk/s220/Vera-forest-1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-12u9voJ0fv4/Tq5CKgRygdI/AAAAAAAAAF4/kQaNpcnTQTU/s72-c/Vera+feather+shot+border.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;CkYNQHg7eSp7ImA9WhdbGEk.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385703481123552284.post-1029360739824068751</id><published>2011-10-17T01:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T01:29:51.601-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-10-17T01:29:51.601-07:00</app:edited><title>Isabel Lucas // ASOS Magazine</title><content type='html'>The beautiful Isabel Lucas gets interviewed during her shoot for ASOS Magazine, she is wearing a 'Clear Quartz Crystal, Feather and Silk piece Custom designed and made for her.&lt;br /&gt;www.verablackdesigns.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="480" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-7zqMZjqD38?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/1029360739824068751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/isabel-lucas-asos-magazine.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8385703481123552284/posts/default/1029360739824068751?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8385703481123552284/posts/default/1029360739824068751?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://verablackdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/isabel-lucas-asos-magazine.html' title='Isabel Lucas // ASOS Magazine'/><author><name>Vera Black</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02352862839613245389</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9R9mqOUm-b0/UTSaAFU8P_I/AAAAAAAAAMw/pFiIbNq8ajk/s220/Vera-forest-1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/-7zqMZjqD38/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;D04FQHc9eyp7ImA9WhdVEUg.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385703481123552284.post-2226004861209838877</id><published>2011-09-15T23:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-15T23:51:51.963-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-09-15T23:51:51.963-07:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vintage bike'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nashville'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natchez Trace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='singer songwriter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Franklin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vera Black'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autumn'/><title>Bike Riding on the Natchez Trace Parkway</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She is wearing an original VERA BLACK CREATION Cockatoo Feather, Head-piece with Obsidian Crystal.  Isabel wore a few of my pieces in this shoot, so we'll have to wait for the new Edition of Tatler to come out before we can see more pictures. Doesn't she look stunning....&lt;br /&gt;
