The Other Blog



Hello! 
Wondering if it’s still me? Yes. On January 1st I spontaneously acted upon a New Years resolution to Start Fresh! I accidentally deleted the Exalted Beauty blog. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. New Year, New You! It happened. I was so enthusiastic about starting my AEFraser.com website from scratch that I didn’t think through the consequences of deleting the old website! I lost over 1,500 Exalted Beauty blog posts! The horror!

You know what I was most upset about? My Flowers! As therapy I decided to go through over a decade of my original meadow photographs (approximately 40,000 images). So I “narrowed it down” and decided to rescue my top 1,000 or so! Hilarious right? Well, I love my flowers, what can I say?

Anyway! You will be very excited to discover that my favorite pictures are back! Yup! Organized and ready for your viewing pleasure. Visit the Woodland Wildflower gallery to experience a peaceful moment in the meadow. Listen to birds sing, the soothing drone of bees, smell the heady scent of thousands of beautiful fresh flowers in bloom, feel the light summer breeze in your hair and the warm sun on your face. Enjoy!

And OMG! I can’t even deal. The wildflower photos make the most amazing throw pillows and tote bags. Imagine the possibilities!

Here are some examples:


Purple Coneflower 23 Weekender Tote
Tickseed 2 Throw Pillow
Sweet William 2 Tote Bag
New England Aster 17 Throw Pillow

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Today has always been one of my all time favorite holidays! It is a night full of magic and mystery, a time to face ones fears and celebrate all the dark and scary! I loved Halloween as a kid, making costumes, collecting candy, participating in the adventure, scaring each other to death, what's not to love? Becoming a mother and experiencing Halloween with my son brought it all back. Caden loved Halloween! And I have to admit all the work was worth it when watching him traumatize the other children in his creepy costumes. I'm kidding. He was much too nice for that, no one was scared. Anyway, I had a whole historical Halloween post organized. It was about Samhain, the barrier between the worlds thinning, inviting the dead to dinner... but then I remembered you probably just stopped by to see Caden's Halloween Costumes . It's fine, here they are, all of your favorites: Ghost, Goblin, Vampire, Mummy, Devil, Werepanther and Steampunk Gentleman. Enjoy! Have ...

Editing Feminist Ink

Where does the time go? So much for my intentions of consistent blogging, apparently that’s NOT happening. Instead, I’ve been consumed the past few weeks with editing my “Feminist Ink” series. I found my collection of Thesis drawings over the winter break and thought cleaning up the 20 year old concept drawings to make available on AEFraser.com would be a fun little challenge. Challenge, definitely yes, fun, not so much. I scanned in the hefty stack of 32 [11” x 17”] pen and ink drawings, thinking Hey! These are cool, they will add some interesting depth and dimension to my “getting to know your artist series” that I started here on the blog a few months ago. I don’t know if you are realizing this about me or not, but nothing I ever do is fast or easy. The quick clean up that I imagined was going to happen ended up being a major rework on each image, some taking as long as 10-12 hours respectively. What was I thinking? You decide. Here is the before and after example of “Moon Blooming...
