Three recent experiments - mostly relating to needle felted jewelry ideas.
I've been toying with the idea of doing a steampunk necklace and having seen that octopi often show up in steampunk I made one. Flat on the back, dimensional in front. Doubt that this particular piece will work with the gears I bought.
Beads and a Cabochon - I've used silk before with my Merino fiber and I know that it adds a luster and reflective quality that the wool lacks. The beads and cabochon are very firmly felted.
I've been experimenting with black & white a little lately. Kinda like the tones in this one.. Not sure about my focus in this photo though. Didn't want the obvious focus on the people towards the end of the track. Any suggestions?
I think this is better but I know I'll still be playing with this for a while.
Friendly inputs / comments very welcome
Shooting with gear acquired years ago and never used - some experimenting just for fun

It was the Day of photo session for our New Year's tree. Practically, it's tradition already, I made it each January - in one of days of first ten-days period.
Without experiments it's too boring, of course)))

A time lapse movie of an icicle growing from a rotating support. The total growth time is about 10 hours and the support rotates once every 4 minutes. Tap water and still air were used.
The icicle shows the growth of multiple tips and a rippling instability.

Experiment, GA (Spalding County) Copyright 2011 D. Nelson
This town was actually named for the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station located here. I think that's cool.
First Sigma 10-20 mm shots and first ever attempt at B&W HDR. Taken with Canon EOS 1000D Sigma 10-20 mm f3.5 and processed in Photomatix Pro 3.0.
so I discovered that you can use an oil pastel as a resist. even cooler is that you can scrape off the oil pastel to reveal the color underneath. eyes and mouth were done this way. i then went back and added outlines with sharpie.
The experiment was to see which type of vinegar gave the greatest reaction with baking soda. Turns out the aromatic (balsamic) vinegar was the strongest reaction!
Experimenting in the production of pottery by the blind.
“To them, their fingers are eyes”
From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organised several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was ‘eagerly accepted’.

Friends have asked for holiday suggestions for nutella, so I have designed an experiment that produced good holiday results.
1. similar to experiment #2, select a suitable oatmeal raisin cookie
2. pipette 30 grams of nutella carefully onto the cookie. whatever you do, don't use a spoon, because the nutella doesn't want to spread-- it wants to cling. to spoons, cookies, taste buds-- it's all very lovey-dovey and, perhaps, a trifle needy.
3. Also similar to the previous experiment, carefully place exactly no baconsalt, whatsoever, on the nutella
4. pour egg nog
5. play some holiday-themed music
6. swish the egg nog and enjoy its heady vapors. oh, did i mention the rum?
7. enjoy responsibly
8. make a setting for a friend
