This is the last of my dabbling shots. Next I'll share the diving shots.

Dabbling in areas which were considered off-limits to women, Christine Salem decided that songs which were exclusively meant for men was her musical inclination. These ‘work’ songs known as Maloya, were only ever sung by male vocalists and previously only labourers, but with Salem’s risky venture into unknown territory she managed to turn this age old genre into music to be shared by all.

Ok, so it's not real... but it should be, right?

And watch for the blog post about this!
I dabble a bit in genealogy, so finding the address of my great great grandfather on a Kansas City 1910 census was an exciting find. I ventured out (a 30 minute drive from my home) to see his house, to walk in the yard where he once lived. I decided that I wanted a memento of having been there so I stooped down and grabbed what I thought was a broken spindle. When I got home I took a better look at it, and this is what I found! To me it looks like a civil war toy soldier. It's made from a resin-like pastic. Does anyone know how old it could possibly be? Does anyone have any advice on how to figure it out?
Dabbled in some light painted product photography for the first time in quite awhile. The recipe is mostly the same:
- an iPhone set to a white image with the brightness dialled up; your source of illumination
- some black foamcore boards as a backdrop
However, this time, I tried a glass coffee table to bring in some reflections.

Not absolutely certain these are Dabbling Ducks. I imagine some subfamily. Would love if someone can figure out the name.
The Anatinae are a subfamily of the family Anatidae (swans, geese and ducks). Its surviving members are the dabbling ducks, which feed mainly at the surface rather than by diving. The other members of the Anatinae are the extinct moa-nalo, a young but highly apomorphic lineage derived from the dabbling ducks.
There has been much debate about the dabbling ducks' systematical status and which ducks belong to the Anatinae. As understood here, the subfamily contains only the dabbling ducks and their close relatives, the extinct moa-nalos. Alternatively, the Anatinae are considered to include most "ducks", and the dabbling ducks form a tribe Anatini within these. The classification as presented here more appropriately reflects the remaining uncertainty about the interrelationships of the major lineages of Anatidae (waterfowl).

I began dabbling in making these glass pendants and found a collage artist who creates the most amazing vintage look photo collages just for this purpose! I then began to bead around this lovely piece and my design just grew expotentially!
I used these wonder black matte seed beads which gave it a wonderful depth. I then added some gorgeous lampwork beads created by an artist who's name escapes me at the moment. I have had these lovely beads waiting for just the right design to use them in.
This was one of the most fun pieces I have done in quite awhile as there are soooo many elements to it. From the lovely crystals to the goldfilled findings, to the romantic goldfilled clasp and the velvet ribbon segments which have been finished off by the peyote stitched ends. Look closely at the cute little green drops on the peyote ends.
There are so many fun and unique details to this majestic beauty. A Victorian ONE OF A KIND Look you will definately want to own!
