MacroMondays#Paper art

Everything you see in the picture I made with paper, glue and paint. The boat, sails and mast are made of plain writing paper and the sea is made of baking paper. For a few days I was trying with a different type of paper to get something that would really look like sea waves. Baking paper behaves like greasy and hardly absorbs color. Eventually I soaked it in water to which I added Easter egg paint and squeezed it well. In places where the paper was tighter, it was white, so I didn't have to bother painting the sea foam. In order not to be visible the crumpled paper and to make everything look like in a water mist created by the waves, I used a 31mm macro ring and I moved the focus point .

In order to follow the 3-inch rule, I had to cut off part of the mast and a small flag at the top because I originally imagined the scene as a calm sea, but during the work it turned out that the weather had to change and the storm started :-)

HMM!

Self-portrait...because in the 80th selfies didn't exist :-)

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend of photography, wherever you are. Take care!

Last Sunday I spent a day on Camera Show. I sold one lens but acquired few quirky old enlarger and large format lenses so I will torture you with a photos made by them. All are adapted with glue, camera caps and some helicoids.

So this one is Kinex Paris France Kinn Anastigmat 105mm f4.5 lens for large format cameras. Shutter jams easily and nicely. Soft, low contrast, unsaturated natural colors, at moments quirky bokeh. In one word, all that contemporary HD sharpens junkies hate.

"Stuck Like Glue"

Absolutely no one that knows me better

No one that can make me feel so good

How did we stay so long together?

When everybody, everybody said we never would

And just when I, I start to think they're right

The love has died

There you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it and do it one time?

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know, oh

I'm never letting this go

I'm stuck on you

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue

Some days I don't feel like trying

Some days you know I wanna just give up

When it doesn't matter who's right, fight about it all night

Had enough

You give me that look

"I'm sorry, baby, let's make up"

You do that thing that makes me laugh

And just like that

There you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it and do it one time? (Do it, do it)

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know, oh

I'm never letting this go, oh

I'm stuck on you

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

You almost fell out

Too stuck together from the ATL

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Feeling kinda sick?

Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick

I say: "Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

What you gonna do with that?

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Come on over here with that

Sugar sticky sweet stuff

Come on, give me that stuff

Everybody wants some

Melodies that get stuck"

Up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Up in your head

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me together, say, it's all I wanna do

I said

There you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it and do it one time? (Do it, do it)

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know, oh

I'm never letting this go, oh (Never letting this go)

There you go making my heart beat again

Heart beat again, heart beat again

There you go making me feel like a kid

Won't you do it and do it one time? (Do it, do it)

There you go pulling me right back in

Right back in, right back in

And I know, oh (Know, oh)

I'm never letting this go, oh (I'm never letting this go)

I'm stuck on you

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Stuck like glue

You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue

abstract inspired by the work of Kurt Schwitters

originally set out with paper shapes from magazine pages, but to make it my own, I painted and cut out canvas which were then glued to mixed media paper.

[DE] Anfang März ging es ins Maintal nach Thüngersheim. Bei Besten Wetter begegnete mir die ELL/WLC 193 243 mit einem Vollen und sehr Bunten Containerzug Richtung Österreich. Die Lok wirbt zusammen mit der ELL/LTE 193 740 für einen Job im Schienengüterverkehr in Österreich. Beide Loks besitzen zwei Beklebte Seiten. Eine Seite Mit Vollbeklebung und eine mit Teilbeklebung.

[EN] At the beginning of March we went to Thüngersheim in the Main Valley. In the best weather I met the ELL/WLC 193 243 with a full and very colorful container train towards Austria. The locomotive, together with the ELL/LTE 193 740, advertises a job in rail freight transport in Austria. Both locomotives have two glued sides. One side fully taped and one partially taped.

Ahhhh these glasses are so amazinggggahhhh. Morbid Deceit (of peculiar things) just plopped them down at Eclipse. Wilmur promptly bought them, brought them home, threw them on the ground, and rolled around on them in happiness. Ouch! Thank goodness they were copy!

After a visit to the hospital (16 stitches, darlings!), he decided to show his enthusiasm in a far healthier way and super glued them to his face. I'm sure he'll regret that decision eventually but in the meantime, he's loving them.

Wilmur's "scepter" is the pretty fabulous animesh crybaby balloon from Hotdog, and his "orb" is the magic 8 ball from The Black Forest.

His outfit is... ummm... I forget, and I'm way too lazy to log back in to see, but I'll add it later if I unlaze. The coat I know at least - its from Curio Obscura's Luxurious Fur Coat gacha. The cat is from Tentacio, and the chair - one of my alltime favorites - is the aptly named Throne Chair from floorplan.

Speaks for itself really.

This is what greeted me this morning for Labour Day…O.o..

While our nights are still blissfully cool, and up till now pleasant daytime temps, so I really wasn't expecting this heat so so soon.

Horrendous ambient temp hit me as soon as I stepped out the back door - Gah ! Take me to Tassie !

The 3rd image was about 15mins out on the grass.

Spent most of the day indoors, pondering wistfully over moving to colder climes, even Wollongong would do... and thank goodness the girlz were remarkably upbeat for our confined Queensland Labour Day holiday.

Not all Austalian states celebrate on the same date.

Night time temps still expected to plummet down to 10°C/50°F.

For a while, at least..

A few misadventures putting a triptych together with PhotoJoiner, excitedly downloading the result and then not having a flamin' clue where it would disappear to - four times ! - so decided to post them all separate, done with Powerpoint.

Then tonight, gave it one more shot with another site and was quite surprised I finally managed to glue them together in Zippy Photo Stitcher. Yay. A new thing for me.

The mosaic is moving along at a snail's pace. It is slowly moving along because I have been having some issues with pain in my hands. My index finger on my right hand will sometimes ache/burn when using my phone or mouse, I'm guessing it's an overuse injury. For those who don't know, my daughter and I started the mosaic when the stay at home orders began in March. My daughter created the pattern and helped me dye all of the eggshells. We wanted to create something to remember this time period, we chose eggshells because they were from the food we were consuming and were readily available. The broken eggshells were to represent how fragile life is and how this virus has shattered people's lives. Seeing that in the US the virus is currently raging it is fitting that we haven't finished yet, sometimes time feels like it racing by while we are standing still. Are you working on any new projects?

Eigentlich ist es eine Rekonstruktion des Zufalls. Die Veränderung der Grundstruktur (auf dem DIN A4 Blatt) hat sich durch unüberlegtes platzieren der Einzeldrucke so ergeben und angeordnet. Zuerst habe ich sie ordentlich zusammen geklebt. Aber das war zu einfach und gewollt. Das Zufallsergebnis gefällt mir besser, weil die Deformation eine eigene Geschichte erzählt. Ich weiß nicht mal ob das Betonbaus bewohnt ist. Daher ist es eine zufällige Geschichte. Es lohnt sich immer die Gegenden hinter den Bahngleisen zu besuchen. Zumindestenst in dieser Gegend am Atlantik.

Die Kunst ist es nun den Zufall nachzubauen :-)

Actually it is a reconstruction of the coincidence. The change of the basic structure (on the DIN A4 sheet) has resulted and arranged by thoughtless placing of the single prints so. First I glued them neatly together. But that was too easy and wanted. I like the random result better, because the deformation tells its own story. I don't even know if the concrete building is inhabited. Therefore it is a random story. It is always worth visiting the areas behind the railroad tracks. At least in this area at the Atlantic.

The art is now to recreate the coincidence :-)

Inside the Glue factory at night

Commercially manufactured cigarettes are seemingly simple objects consisting mainly of a tobacco blend, paper, PVA glue to bond the outer layer of paper together, and often also a cellulose acetate–based filter. While the assembly of cigarettes is straightforward, much focus is given to the creation of each of the components, in particular the tobacco blend, which may contain over 100 ingredients, many of them flavourants for the tobacco. A key ingredient that makes cigarettes more addictive is the inclusion of reconstituted tobacco, which has additives to make nicotine more volatile as the cigarette burns.

P.S. "i dont smoke"

Rural scene

While we were in Chiang Mai we took the opportunity to look around some of the craft villages that the city is famous for. The best place that we went to look at was this place where they still make traditional unmbrellas both for shade and rain.
