Red Crayon Suicide Note
I was the lost child-beaten and weak,
Slaped in the face if dare I should speak,
Slave of aggression, victim of pride,
Feeling the lash of the belt to my hide.
With nothing to gain from my sad little life,
Weary from battle, cursing the strife,
I took some paper from out of my tote,
And wrote out a red crayon suicide note.
As I looked at the note, my thoughts began straying,
To books and to birds and prayers I loved praying,
It was then I decided to fight through the strife,
I threw out the letter and fiercely chose life.
Though now grown and successful, I have not forgot,
My journey to manhood-a battle hardwrought,
My love and my time I now gladly devote,
To all children with red crayon suicide notes.
(By me)

Sometimes a note appears in my head. I guess I will write them down in my Moleskine from now.
I love drawing. I will draw again.
I love working. My friend called me Buzzie. I like it. Busy. Busy. Buzzzieee.
I feel unsafe every time I'm in my comfort zone, so I guess that's why I always change.
You change. I change, too.
Nahh. Actually you don't. But I do.

Just realized this is possible and wanted to keep it for future reference, as I have no direct need for it now. Hope others find it useful too. This should allow for reasonably decent angled stripes too because you could continue to go diagonal with multiple 2x2s, 3x3s or 4x4s in a row.
There are slight gaps, but not large enough to fill with ½ plate elements. Those gaps can be used as subtle greebling, so it's not that bad if you can make it work for you.
Note I did not have a 3x3 plate at hand but it's not required: the solution shown here is one plate higher than a single 3x3 plate would be. If you want to cover things with tiles, the extra plate height is unavoidable for 3x3 and 4x4 anyway.
You can do this with larger wedge plates too, obviously.
My computer has crapped out. I cant get it to even pull up Second Life. My husband will try to fix it in the next few days. Please bear with me and I am sorry for the lateness of posts.
I figured it was time to start my Christmas shopping yesterday, even though it was a day earlier than my usual habit. I decided to bring my camera along and catch a few street scenes as well.
I played with some of the special presets on the trial copy of Lightroom I downloaded here.
i forgot to bring smtg to tie my hair up with today & ended up using sticks tt had pegs at the end of it to hold my hair up for the whole day...
notes were thus natural.
For Macro Mondays "Crime".
My husband was nice enough to make me a ransom note, although he went a little overboard. I will save the entire thing in my "props" drawer for another day. But here is part of it through a small magnifying glass, fitting within the 3 inch limit.
The magnifying glass is about two inches above the paper, prompting my first stab at photo stacking so both glass and words would be in focus. I had hoped to play more with angles to show the distance between them, but alas, no time.
HMM!

For a few weeks in the dead of winter, the sun is too feeble to climb the hill behind the house; but it always comes back with renewed strength.
On the left is a reproduction of Amaldus Nielsen's painting "Ny Hellesund" from 1899. Nielsen enjoyed great success here in Norway during his own lifetime (1838-1932).

The leaves were swept off the ash tree across the road overnight.
