The lens ball shows the woven piece of the shawl reflected with it's vibrant colors. A local artist made the shawl and she is well known for her expert weaving. She fringed the shawl with tassels which you see under the lens ball. It's one of my favourite pieces of wearable art. HMM
Today, the 6th of May, 2023, is a momentous day. Today is the Coronation of His Majesty, King Charles III, and people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth move into the new Carolean Age.
Celebrations will be happening in Britain and around the world to mark the occasion.
How apt it is that yesterday, I should receive my special limited edition King Charles III Commemorative Teddy Bear from Merrythought in Britain. So it is with the deepest pride and pleasure that I present him to you.
Beautifully crafted in Merrythought’s historic British factory, His Majesty is a true heirloom and features golden mohair plush paired with pure cotton velvet paws, one of which is embroidered with The King’s official cypher and the occasion date. His noble persona is enhanced by deep blue eyes and a neatly hand-stitched nose and smile. He looks very much like his Royal human counterpart. Marking the first Coronation in seventy years, His Majesty is dressed in an impressive pure cotton velvet robe, with satin lining, gold embroidery and Italian tassel detailing. As befitting a new monarch, he is presented with a stunning silver-plated replica of the Imperial state crown. Adorned with twenty six glass gemstones, pure cotton velvet lining and white woven faux fur trim, it is a masterpiece in its own right.
His Majesty King Charles III Commemorative Teddy Bear is number 72 of a worldwide limited edition of 2023.
God bless His Majesty! Long may he reign over us!
Part of my ongoing fascination with tree roots. As this tree grips on to an eroding bank in the wood, its roots appear to weave amongst each other. Crews Hill Wood, a Worcestershire Wildlife Trust reserve in the Suckley Hills.
This is a close-up photo of the light from the kitchen window casting the shadow of a woven bread basket on the table. I love the optical illusion of contour depth happening on the flat surface of the placemat, and of course, the framing and composition of this photo.
Thursday's wind chill read minus 8 degrees F, so it really wasn't a day for walking around in nature. I decided to visit our art center and check out the exhibits as an alternative.
I like the earth tones in this piece.

Macro Mondays: Unusual Patterns
Before I was a photographer, before I was an accountant, before I was a poet, before I was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, I was a seamstress. I made a lot of my own clothes in high school. And now, the camera allows me to make my own fabrics with layers of light and lines.
Happy week-end, ya'll!
Just for the record, this is what it took to wear out my son's dog today (3 years old). One half-hour walk around the De Young Museum, ten to fifteen times running up and down the stairs in my building, then going to the polo field and race-walking around it, and then walking around the lake. Finally tired and not whimpering in the car to go for a walk.
I am really getting into shape, walking one to five miles a day, often with him. If I don't walk I start to miss it.
I also walked three dogs today at the rescue where I volunteer. One baby Chihuahua who I carried around under my coat (cold here), a pittie, and a beautiful American bulldog who I adore. I love her so much and hope she and the rest of the gang there get adopted soon. This week-end there is a big adoption lollapalooza....
Hope you all are doing well!
Playing around with the layering of light, the patterns of nature, posed and transposed, weave the marbled strata of my own years as mother, seamstress, accountant, poet with the now thin, gray yarns of great-grandmother.
Inspired by Matt Rehrl, I photographed the wall of the Downtown Bellevue Light Rail station, and only later registered the weave in the glass pattern.
