just an exercise for Sliders Sunday -- Post Processed To The MAX! using an existing b&w shot
I guess I prefer the original flic.kr/p/2kzo9Tf which hangs, framed, in our hallway!
colour = Picasa heat map
border = FastStone border effects
Trying something a bit different - and having so much fun!
Edit: I've just cropped this, so it's smaller version of the photo I first uploaded.

That's what it feels like!
Silly, fun, distracting, brain something (I'm not sure if it's turning it on, turning it off, or exercising it), imagination sparking, no plan, just seeing what develops 😁😀😊

I've recently got into drawing. As you see I'm not a 'realist', more a go with the flow type. And I've found it to be a fun absorbing pastime. I can recommend giving it a go!

With the current trend of adult colouring books, I thought a shot of my daughters mindfulness colouring book would be a nice choice for this weeks theme.
It was very hard to pick which one to colour in for the shot, so many to choose from, but we both liked the swirly waves.
I really want one of these for myself
MUTZLI: "Malachi, I brought our box of coloured pencils, and my very special colouring book!"
MALACHI: "Very good, Mutzli. Let’s make ourselves comfortable."
MUTZLI: "But Malachi, why did I have to bring the colouring book and the pencils. You only had to bring an eraser! That box of pencils is heavy!"
MALACHI: "Well, I should have thought that was obvious, Mutzli! I only brought the eraser because it is so very large and heavy. It belongs to Daddy."
MUTZLI: "Oh!" *Puts paw to mouth.* "Malachi, why do we need such a large eraser? I think there are two bear sized ones in the pencil box."
MALACHI: "Well I should have thought that was obvious too, Mutzli!" *Shakes head.* "We need Daddy’s large eraser so that we can erase his messy colouring in, in this faerie tale colouring book we are sitting on! Just look! He’s missed some spots and gone over the line there!” *Points paw.* "We must fix it!"
MUTZLI: "Oh! So we won’t need my special colouring book then, Malachi?"
MALACHI: "Goodness no, Mutzli! We will be too busy fixing Daddy’s mistakes!"
DADDY: "Malachi! Mutzli! What on earth are you doing sitting on my faerie tale colouring book?"
MALACHI: "Well, I should have thought that was obvious, Daddy!" *Thinks quickly.* "We are about to start doing some colouring in Mutzli’s special colouring book." *Points to book.*
DADDY: "And why do you have my eraser, Malachi?"
MALACHI: "Well, I should have thought that was obvious too! We bears make many a mistake when we colour in, so that requires a larger than average eraser for us to use."
DADDY: "Oh."
MUTZLI: *Smiles guiltily.*
MALACHI: "Now, if you will excuse us, Daddy, Mutzli and I need to get started on our colouring in."
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 27th of January is "eraser". As an artist, I don’t have particularly interesting erasers, and a lot of them are nubs, so to make things a little more interesting for the theme, I decided to use Malachi and Mutzli again after their recent reappearance at "Looking Close on Friday" after a long hiatus for the theme "capture the time".
If you follow my photostream, you may know that I collect 1:12 size miniatures, some of which have featured in past themes in the "Looking Close on Friday" and "Smile on Saturday" groups. This includes Malachi the bear, who today is joined by his cousin, Mutzli and the pair are enjoying a foray into the wonderful world of colouring, which I also enjoy as a creative and emotional outlet. I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!
Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters. Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia. He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.
Mutzli was a lovely surprise gift from a dear friend in Britain who kindly slipped him into a parcel of other delightful gifts for me. Like Malachi, he is mohair, has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Mutzli got his name from the tiny gold tag around his neck. He is made by Mutzli, a Swiss bear manufacturer since 1949.
The Coronation Colouring Book Mutzli holds is a 1:12 size miniature made by the British miniature artisan Ken Blythe. Most of the books I own that he has made may be opened to reveal authentic printed interiors. In some cases, you can even read the words, depending upon the size of the print! I have quite a large representation of Ken Blythe’s work in my collection. This colouring book has pages inside that feature images that could be coloured. To give you an idea of the work that has gone into this volume, it contains twelve double sided pages of illustrations and it measures thirty-three millimetres in height and twenty millimetres in width. What might amaze you even more is that all Ken Blythe’s opening books are authentically replicated 1:12 scale miniatures of real volumes. To create something so authentic to the original in such detail and so clearly, really does make this a miniature artisan piece. Ken Blythe’s work is highly sought after by miniaturists around the world today and command high prices at auction for such tiny pieces, particularly now that he is no longer alive. I was fortunate enough to acquire pieces from Ken Blythe prior to his death about four years ago, as well as through his estate via his daughter and son-in-law. His legacy will live on with me and in my photography which I hope will please his daughter. I hope that it makes you smile with its sheer whimsy!
The coloured pencils on the table are 1:12 miniatures as well, and is only one millimetre wide and two centimetres long, and the pencil box is made of real wood and has a sliding lid that does open.
I've recently got into drawing. As you see I'm not a 'realist', more a go with the flow type. And I've found it to be a fun absorbing pastime. I can recommend giving it a go!

My granddaughter came home with an Easter egg colouring from school the other day, it inspired me to do some colouring too. I really enjoyed it, mindless enough that I could keep up with the audio book I was listening to.
