messing around with Illustrator, making icons and patterns.
thinking this could be fun as wrapping paper or fabric.
I think I'd like to investigate clip-art, scrapbook designs and/or stock illustrations, not exactly sure how to go about this but I'll find out.
I just finished wrapping Ryan's big Christmas gift. Used almost a whole roll of paper to do it! When I stood back to look at my handiwork, I noticed the paper reads, "Happy Birthday". :(
Happy Holidays everyone. Best wishes to you and yours.

'The stockings were hung' On Black
Photos inspired by the utata filtered project.
I was struggling on what I could do for this project while I was staring at some Christmas lights I wasn't going to hang up. I then remembered some clear cellophane wrapping paper with purple snowflakes...and an idea was born. I could a)participate in the project and b) shoot a holiday theme and then I couldn't be accused of being a total grinch this holiday season seeing as I wasn't planning on shooting anything holiday related.
Shots were taken of christmas lights through the cellophane wrapping paper with purple snowflakes.
It was also an interesting experiment in focus and dof. Most of these shots were taken from approximately the same distance with the only difference a change in aperture (and corresponding change in shutter speed) and focus point. There are about 100 shots from this set but I won't bore you with all of them.

A predominant color of the holidays, red is, indeed, a striking 'pop'. Whether as wrapping paper or ribbon, these reds "help to make the season bright." On this Christmas Eve day, the packages remain dressed in their pretty outfits - nicely coordinated and perfectly placed. In less than 24 hours, the look under the tree will be entirely different - bare of color as the paper moves into the recycling bin and the contents get worn, played, admired or used...or perhaps even readied for the 'Return'. Like the drastic change under the tree, this holiday doesn't tend to linger beyond the 25th, despite the long-term build up and anticipation...perhaps due to the forward look to the next series of New Year's Eve and Day! Christmas cheer to all! Naples, FL
This is a sample of a kaleidoscope tessellation requested by, and created for, a friend (Gina) I met here on Flickr. She makes candy wrappers, gift wrap, bookmarks, etc., but her site is no longer online, so I'm not sure where to get her products any longer.
Only sample tiles are available for viewing since I used her original picture instead of one of my own or one from Flickr with a CC license.
This week, we demonstrate step-by-step how to create diagonal Japanese pleats, as well as the use of decorative stickers to bring life to your gift: giftelements.com/blog-post/diagonal-japanese-pleats/
During our quick getaway in Bintan last week, we were inspired by the beauty of the seaside. We decided to pay tribute to the tropical climate by creating a wrapping that represents the sun, the sand and the sea. We chose florist paper because it is ideal for making perfect pleats, depicting waves on the beach. We also decided to use shiny golden stickers to brighten our gift like how sand glistens under the sun. Summer Journeys... chill out!

I went a little nuts at Home Goods and bought a BUNCH of their Christmas wrapping paper to use in collages. They have the best papers and this year I decided to buy them early in December rather than wait for after Christmas sales.
I made it! 365 pictures in 365 days. My goal was to use the project to force myself to improve my photographic skills, and I feel that I achieved that goal - I am consistently taking better pictures now than when I started the project, and I'm happy about that.
I don't plan on continuing the project next year. I feel that I need the license to take days off when I'm very busy or otherwise feeling uncreative. I'll continue to take pictures and post them most days, but when I'm just not feeling it I'll take a break. This way I'll stress out less about my photography and be able to enjoy it more; having to take a picture every day was feeling like a chore at times by the end of the project. But even when it felt like a chore, I appreciated the progress that I made. I am very proud of how far I have come!
So I'm putting a wrap on the project, with wrapping paper as my final subject. I decided to shoot it with my macro lens; perhaps the 35mm lens would have been a better choice, but the macro is my favorite and I wanted to finish the project with it. I'm beginning to use the lens more effectively, which pleases me, and I wanted to get up close to my subject because I enjoy doing that.
So the project is wrapped up, with a bow on top. I feel a real sense of achievement in having completed this, and have picked up a lot of knowledge that I will put to good use moving forward.
Whew - I did it!
One of Stella's favorite activities is ripping up paper. You can imagine how much she enjoyed her first Christmas.
My boyfriend wrapped my birthday present with Paul Frank wrapping paper but ran out.
He used the torn BAPE camo. page from his magazine to cover up the rest. But he didn't have enough of that for both sides, so this side was exposed a little.

Actually, the painting is a belated Christmas present, oops. I started painting it in December, and I FINALLY finished it today. I haven't painted in a long time!
The wrapped present is her *actual* birthday present, a book called Wreck This Journal.
