A quilt my sister commissioned for her friend's newborn baby boy :) The fabrics are from the Nature-ology collection by Studio E. She chose most of the fabrics and I think it came out very nicely! Especially loving the back.

Springtime Collaboration is a mixed media piece that brings many different art beads together in one necklace.
Felted wool beads from Tang Baby, a lampworked lentil from Loupiac, lampwork glass from The Orange Bell and Dorset Hill Beads, a polymer tube focal from Humblebeads, and a botanical pewter link from my friends at Green Girl Studios. All wire wrapped and linked with interesting chain from AD Adornments.
These were taken using a Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft focus lens. It was designed to have a ton of under-corrected spherical aberration. As such, it's depth of field is extremely deep, even wide open (if you don't understand how this can be, ask and I'll try to explain, or point you to someone who has already said it well). I find if I focus close and let the back edge of what is in focus barely touch the subject, the background _finally_ drops away. Messing with the aperture, of course, adds another dimension of possibilities.
The real reason I wanted to write something in these comments/descriptions is that this Pentax lens came mounted with a Nikon F-mount bayonet. It's the only Pentax K-mount lens I've so far seen remounted this way. I don't know if Pentax made a series of Nikon F-mount (never heard of it before) or if this was just a very good job done in a shop somewhere.

Our cherry tree usually blossoms in late March and April. This year it had flowers at the end of January!

Was driving to work this morning when I about wrecked looking at this view as I rounded a bend in the road. I just had to come back after work to this spot to see if I could do this scene justice through the lens of my camera. These are wildflowers that just pop up everywhere in Western Oregon this time of year. (Best Viewed Large) :)
