Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
In bright overcast light several amenable Marbled Whites allowed a close approach. I tried to shoot completely parallel to the butterfly's wings so that I could use a wide aperture to blur the background. At f3.5, however, the whole butterfly wasn't completely within the band of focus with the wing tips being soft. I later combined two images (focus stacking) to ensure that the butterfly was sharp throughout.
Soon to be covered in a mosaic.
The next 3 art festivels that I will be in are of my photography. So I thought I would make a side table to put my business cards and postcards on. This way I can show people what they can look forward to seeing from me.
I'm also making a sign with my name on it to hang in the booth. Still working on the design for that.
How long does it take to form. tune, and decorate an ocarina of this size? The answer is probably, "Too long to ever recover the time invested". Ultimately, the additional time to bisque fire, glaze, glaze fire (repeatedly) will put the pricing of higher quality pieces out of reach...which is cause for reflecting upon the question, "Why do you really do this?"
second darkroom print. this one was burned for 55 sec. still did not achieve the contrast and dark shadows o was hopping for.

I'm trying a variety of products in an attempt to both age an ink jet image and to make it look "misty".
I am drawn to the look produced using encaustic wax, but the health hazards make me cautious about heating wax without effective ventilation.
Anyone interested in using cold wax might like to look at oilandwax.ning.com/ for helpful advice.
My objective is to use images that look as though they are memories of the past and I have to say that everything I have tried so far is a disapointment.
I hope to look into using resin next.

Still need to figure out how to illustrate the string going up over the pulley and down around the axle...
Yesterday I was home alone and listened to my audiobook, as I pieced this together - it is odd and uneven and and strange and totally without a theme and it sort of just happened...
well, at least it is colourful! :-)
I don't know if it is going to be a baby blanket again; I might chop it up into strips and sew them together with some other fabric... maybe I'll just keep this one going without a plan whatsoever.... it will turn into something at some point, I guess?!
